2017-12-01 / 12. szám

Branch News in our thoughts and prayers. And Jim, we expect to see you riding that lawnmower of yours up and down Brierly Lane in the near future. Get better, all! Branch 89 will be distribut­ing Holiday Baskets to those less fortunate in the upcoming weeks. Pictures to follow. Take care and make every day count. Do something nice for some­one and see how good you will feel. It takes more energy to complain about something than it does to cor­rect the problem. Fraternalism is the key! Let's make it count. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis As 2017 comes to a close, we would like to wish you love, joy and happi­ness this holiday season and always. May you all be blessed with good health in 2018. Get in touch with family and friends that you haven't seen or talk­ed to lately; you never know what a call or visit will do to lift someone's spirits. We will have our branch Christ­mas party on Saturday, Dec. 2, at 2:00 p.m. It will again take place at the Columbus-Grove City Elks located at 2140 Sonora Dr. in Grove City. Important days for this month: • Dec. 7 - Pearl Harbor Day. • Dec. 24 - Christmas Eve. • Dec. 25 - Christmas. • Dec. 31 - New Year's Eve. We congratulate all those celebrat­ing birthdays and anniversaries this month. Congratulations also to all who have new additions to their families. Get well wishes go to those who have been ill or hospitalized. We wish to extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one. Please keep all in your thoughts and prayers. If you have any news you would like to share or need information on life insurance or annuities, please contact Branch Coordinator Deb­bie Lewis at 614-875-9968 or e-mail DAL9968@aol.com. Branch 132 South Bend, IN by John E. Burns Winter is almost here, and I am sure the snow is not far behind. The Branch 132 officers would like to ex­tend warm holiday wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all WPA members. The next Branch 132 quarterly meeting will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 5, at the Martin's Supermarket Deli (first floor) on Ireland Road at 5:00 p.m. We will begin planning for the upcoming year and starting year end paperwork. The Branch 132 Christmas party has been planned for Sunday, Dec. 10, at the South Bend Barnaby's Piz­za starting at 3:00 p.m. and ending by 5:00 p.m. The branch will provide the pizza and sodas for all members and family who attend. Please make reservations no later than Dec. 5 by calling Janos Burus at 574-287-0590. Branch 132 is also planning to donate food baskets to local food pantries in our area. More informa­tion and photos to follow in upcom­ing reports. Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit Ganchuk Congrats again to all of our WPFASF scholarship recipients featured in last month's issue of William Penn Life, especially Branch 226 members Matthew Benedek, Mary DeFazio, Libby Myers, Daniel Trom­­bola and Sarah DeFazio. Special congratulations to Daniel (pic­tured left) for also earning his Eagle Scout designa­tion earlier this year and to Sarah for winning second prize for her scholarship essay. Happy birthday and happy an­niversary wishes to all those cel­ebrating this month! Sending warm hugs to Sally Petras, former branch auditor. We send get well wishes to Mar­garet "Manci" Király and our other branch members who are coping with illnesses. We extend our sympathies to members and their families who have lost someone recently and sending prayers to the family and friends of Lucy Norgren and Paul Martincsek. May they rest in peace. December is a busy month! The Free Hungarian Reformed Church in McKeesport will hold their annual chicken paprikás dinner (take out only) on Saturday, Dec. 2. Please call the church at 412-672-7298 for info. On Dec. 6, Hungarian children will celebrate St. Nicholas Day by putting their shoes out the night be­fore, hoping to get candy and small toys as a reward for being good all year long. The students at the Hungarian embroidery class at the Free Hun­garian Reformed Church in McK­eesport, many of whom are WPA members, have created a "Hungar­ian Dancing Queen" Christmas tree for the Festival of Christmas trees contest to be held in McKeesport's Renzie Park Main Pavilion. The students worked hard this fall, creat­ing handmade decorations for the tree. Come view beautiful Christmas trees and enjoy a visit with Santa from Dec. 7 to 11. Our branch was able to donate a few much-needed Holiday Bas­kets to members of our community, thanks to WPA's program. Our last branch meeting of the year will be held before our Christ­mas party at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10, at the Free Hungarian Re­formed Church in McKeesport. Party photos coming next month! Branch members, please note that the branch will take a break in Janu­ary and February. We will resume holding regular meetings in the spring. Finally, at this festive time of year, keep up an attitude of gratitude. Make someone else's day happy and don't expect anything in return; it may surprise you how good it feels to give to others. On behalf of Branch 226, we wish you a happy and blessed Christmas and Happy New Year, or in Hungar­ian: Kellemes karácsonyi ünnepeket és boldog új évet kívánunk!
