Branch News Branch 18 Treasurer Carol Truesdell (right) presents a donation from the branch to the food pantry at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Lincoln Park, Mich. Accepting the donation are Pastor Paula Miller (left) and Carm Yero. as an umbrella organization for organizations in the Greater Cleveland Hungarian-American community. It represents their shared interests, while seeking to preserve, cultivate, develop and disseminate Hungarian culture. We wish Endre a successful term of office. Your continued support throughout the year of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation is very important and needed, as it provides the funds that are distributed to our student members for their college studies. Please support education. As always, please remember to keep in touch with someone you haven't seen or talked with in a long time. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. Pick up the phone and/or plan a visit. Remember, Branch 14 members having news to share about themselves or family members can reach me at RichSaro@att.net or at 440-248- 9012. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy and Blessed Easter to all our wonderful members and friends. I am writing this on March 2, and we were just gifted with five inches of heavy, wet snow last night. Sure hope Easter Sunday is a beautiful day. Be sure to thank God for just making it through this winter. We at Branch 18 lost a truly supportive and fraternal member in Emma Schvarckopf Borsa when she passed away in February. Many of those stuffed toys you saw at our family Christmas party were donated by Emma. She was a true jewel. Rest in peace, dear Emma; you surely deserve to be in heaven. We saw many wonderful members and friends at her funeral and luncheon. Lori, Gust and Carl—you are always in our prayers. Remember all our recently deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially Anne R. Nagy, Eva Nagy, Mary Sabo, Julia Alex and Joseph Pepoy. "When you were born, you cried, and the whole world smiled. Let's live our life that when you die, you will smile and the whole world will cry." Judit Ganchuk and I are working on our many fraternal events. We have received deposits for both the Hungarian Heritage Experience and the WPA Tour 2018. For the tour, we prefer to keep our travel group to no more than 20 people. Please make your decision to travel with us as soon as possible. Our itinerary is the very best we have ever had. Many destinations are even new to me. Sure hope you plan on joining us. Best wishes to Branch 18 member Linda Enyedy (left shown here with Fraternal Director Barbara A. House) who is recovering from an accident in early February. The Hungarian Heritage Experience has a limit of 30 attendees. We have many new adventures planned for this year. Thank you, Alexis Kozak, for volunteering. This will be something you will remember. We have great participants and, as always, I can't wait to see you all. If you are planning to apply for a WPA scholarship, the time to do so is now. Please get your information together as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting applications and essays—May 31—will be here before you know it. Branch 18 members, please mark your calendars for April 11, our next meeting. We need to plan some trips and our Join Hands Day activity. We also would like your input for our family Christmas party. We need something new and different. What do you suggest? Our next two meetings will be held May 23 and June 20. We meet at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Goddard in Taylor at 6:00 p.m. Remember to bring your donations for our furry friends. Join Hands Day is scheduled for June 9 at 10:00 a.m. We will begin at the Cultural Center, planting flats of flowers. We will then move on to two other places for planting. Sure hope you can help. Remember: teamwork makes dream work. WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 April 2018 0 17
