Branch News Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hope everyone is experiencing a healthy and exciting summer. I hope your weather has been great so far this summer. Independence Day, which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, will be celebrated this year on Tuesday, July 4. Take the time this day to think about all the people who have made this holiday possible. Many of us will be attending parades, picnics and fireworks over the holiday weekend. This day is a great way to be able to spend time with family and friends. Our branch participated in Join Hands Day again this year. Flowers were planted and flower beds were mulched at the Hungarian Reformed Church in Columbus. We had several of our members participate in this project. This activity is a great way to give back to the community. Good luck to all those participating in the annual golf tournament to be held on July 7 and 8 at Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort in Blairsville, Pa. This is a great way to meet old friends and make new ones. A Taste of Hungary Festival will be held at the Hungarian Reformed Church located at 365 Woodrow Ave., Columbus on July 22 from noon to 6:00 p.m. Come and enjoy Hungarian food, music by Steve Hegedeos and Hungarian dancing. There will also be Hungarianthemed items for sale. This event is sponsored by the Hungarian Cultural Association of Columbus. Our branch will also be helping to sponsor this event. Please come and help support this local event. Save the date Aug. 26 to attend the WPA Picnic. This event will be held at the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram, Ohio. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and new additions to their families. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery.
