Branch 15 Chicago, IL by Terejiza Corba Branch 15 hopes everyone enjoyed a Merry Christmas and wishes all the best in the new year. We thank WPA for the financial support which allowed us to cel­ebrate the holidays in the company of our fellow branch members. The Chicago weather was very friendly to us during our branch Christ­mas party, and we didn't have any hassles with traveling and park­ing. Our celebration was held at St. Luke's Evangelical Covenant Church in Morton Grove. The ladies of Branch 15 prepared a delicious lunch and desserts. Special thanks to Sunny, Edith, Anna and all those who helped. Unfortunately, Santa cancelled his appearance at the last minute, but the children still received their gifts and enjoyed playing together. A special thanks to all those in­volved in planning and conducting the WPA 38th General Convention. Our delegates had a wonderful time. Boldog Új Évet Kívánunk minden tagunknak!
