Branch News Congratulations and best wishes to Branch 226 member Tim Holtzman and his wife, Tara, who were married Nov. 14. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hello from Columbus, Ohio. We hope everyone enjoyed a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year shared with family and friends. Hope it was a holiday season creating many cherished memories. May everyone be blessed with good health and happiness throughout 2016. Branch 129 thanks the Home Office for its help in making our annual Christmas party another successful event, attended by about 150 members and guests. We started off with a magician for entertainment for the children (and adults) followed by a great Hungarian meal catered by the Hungarian Cultural Association. After the meal, Santa came and visited with the children, each of whom received a toy, cash, McDonald's gift card and a bag of goodies. Door prizes were given out to many adult members in attendance. We would like to thank everyone who helped set up for the party and all who stayed and help dean up. The Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus, will have a program on Sunday, Jan. 10, following the 10:00 a.m. service. Soup will be served at 11:15 a.m. followed by the program "Life Stories of 2 Local Hungarians." John Komives and Ildikó Huber will be the speakers for this program. Our next branch meeting will be held Tuesday, March 1, at the Hungarian Reformed Church at 4:30 p.m. Please plan on attending to discuss activities for the coming year. We would welcome input from our members. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery. We also extend our sincere sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one, especially to the families of Ruth Reeves and Freddie Pope.

Burus Branch 132's first quarterly meeting of the new year will be held March 1 at 6:00 p.m. atthe Martin's Supermarket Deli (second floor) on Ireland Road. Hope to see you all there! At this meeting, we will begin planning our summer picnic, which will be held sometime in July or August. We would really like to have more members attend our meetings, share their ideas and get involved. Our branch's fourth quarterly meeting of 2015 was held Dec. 1 at Martin's Supermarket. During the meeting, branch financial matters were reviewed and our delegates to the General Convention reported on the events which occurred at the Convention. We also held an election to fill the vacant branch secretary position, which was won by Lindsey Burus. Finally, Susan Marshall volunteered to purchase items for three Holiday Baskets which our branch donated to those in need for the holiday. We are hoping to have photos ready for the next issue of William Penn Life. Thanks, Susan! The Branch 132 annual Christmas party, held at Barnaby's Pizza of South Bend Dec. 6, was a huge success. We had one of our largest turnouts in several years. We took many pictures and hope to have them ready to the next issue of William Penn Life. Thank you to all who helped organize and plan and to all who attended the party. We hope all enjoyed a Merry Christmas and wish everyone a Happy New Year. Branch 132 would like to pass along get well wishes to Donal Czalkowski. We also offer our deepest condolences to the family of Frances "Mucnie: Ehardt. May she rest in peace.
