Branch News at German Central Park in Parma, Ohio. WPA sponsored an informa­tion booth at this event, spreading the word about WPA and handing out promotional items. (For more, see "In the Community" on page 9.) We at Branch 14 were saddened to learn of the passing of Rev. Imre A. Bertalan, Executive Director of the Bethlen Communities, who died Aug. 29 at the age of 67 after a brief illness. His passing is a great loss. Please keep Rev. Bertalan and his family in your prayers. Please in­clude the staff and residents of Beth­len Communities in your prayers, too. God has called a faithful servant home. May he rest in peace. The officers of Branch 14 also ex­tend our sympathy to those Branch 14 and WPA members who have recently lost a loved one. May they rest in peace. The Hungarian Cultural Garden of Cleveland will host an Organ Concert on Sunday, Oct. 8. This is a unique opportunity to hear an organ with over 7,500 pipes, found in a private residence in the USA.

Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy Fall! This is my favorite time of the year. Our gardens are all bloomed out, and we are enjoy­ing great peppers and tomatoes. I brought some peppers back from Hungary last year, and I save the seeds which I planted this spring. We got some peppers that were not as big but tasted just great. The best part was that we knew they were from Hungary. I'll try again next year. Welcome new members Skyler Olechowski and Theresa Nagy. Spe­cial thank you to Dan Nagy for his annuity. What a wonderful family you have. WPA and I thank you! Branch 18 has changed the date for our October meeting to Wednes­day, Oct. 11, at 6:00 p.m. at the Hun­garian American Cultural Center in Taylor. That is the week before our trip to Firekeepers on Oct. 17. Helen Sryniawski and Ursula Markovits will be calling about this trip. The cost is still $30 per person. You will get $25 back to spend. Please let us know if you are interested. We will leave from the Cultural Center at 9:30 a.m. and return about 6:30 p.m. Happy October birthday greet­ings to WPA National President George S. Charles Jr„ Branch 18 Treasurer Carol Truesdell, William Penn Life Managing Editor John E. Lovász and all our special members. May you all have many more. Congratulations to newlyweds Katelyn and Brian Horger. Katelyn is the granddaughter of Carol and Doug Truesdell. We wish them many happy years together. Get well wishes go to George and Doris Schvarckopf, Eleanor Kender, Beata Császár, Joe Csereklye and all who are under the weather. We send you lots of love and prayers. Please remember in your prayers the families of all our departed members, especially the families of Cheryl Hesselink and John Yonish. May they rest in peace. Please support all the wonderful Szüreti (Harvest) Balls in your area. I can't wait until they start. I hope we can attend some in Hungary. Enjoy this beautiful season. May you always have enough happiness to keep you sweet, enough trials to keep you strong, enough success to keep you eager, enough faith to give you courage and enough determination to make each day the best possible.
