Branch News As part ofWPA's Join Hands Against Hunger campaign, Branch 132 President John Bums and Branch Secretary Lindsey Bums deliver food donated by branch members to the Indiana University at South Bend Food Pantry. Even though people are still clamoring for more of the authentic kolbász and hot sausage, which were big hits, hurka was brought back to Homestead. Led by Branch 89 President John "Chef János" Toth and assisted by Endre Csornán, it was a huge success. Branch 89 officers John S. Toth Jr., Mark S. Maskarinec, Ruth Toth, Justin Toth and Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec represented not only Branch 89 but also The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead at the Annual Steel Valley Rotary Dinner Dance. The Rotary is a co-sponsor of our annual golf outing, and we feel it's only right to support them. Branch 89 will be having a chicken paprikas dinner prepared by Chef János in the latter part of May. Price will be $10 dine-in or carry out. Reservations can be made by calling Mark Maskarinec at 412-398-2078. Further information will be in the next issue of William Penn Life. We still have gulyás and kolbász in our freezer. Please call Branch Vice President Mark Maskarinec at 412-398-2078 or email Mark at maskarinacl836@comcas t.net. Price is $6 per quart for the gulyás and $5.50 per pound for the kolbász. Our thanks to all those who helped make our gulyás making a success. WPA member Tom Kazar hosted another Hungarian Night at his restaurant, Dorothy 6, complete with the musical accompaniment of George Bátyi. At the previous Hungarian Night, Tom featured kolbász made by Chef János and Endre Csornán on the menu. How great is that? The food and entertainment were extraordinary. Make sure you plan on attending the next Hungarian Night. Once you enter Dorothy 6, eat the wonderful Hungarian food and hear George Bátyi, you won't be in a hurry to leave. We also congratulate Tom on becoming a grandfather to Noah James Kazar. Talk about a proud grandfather! On Feb. 17, our branch provided the dessert and helped serve dinner at the semi-monthly dinner for Eighth Avenue Ministries. This is a wonderful program, run under the auspices of Rev. Keith Kaufold and his wife Monica, for the benefit of many of the less fortunate members of our area who may not get a hot meal or are tired of dining alone. It feels good to attend one of these dinners and the church service which follows. Get well wishes continue to go to branch members Fred Gabocy, George Kostival, Janet J. Phillips, Jim Findlay as he battles cancer and Patricia Walochik who continues to recover from her recent stay in the hospital. 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. Keep checking back for more details for our annual golf outing to be held Sunday, Aug. 12. It's promising to be even bigger and better than last year's. We're looking for 125 golfers. Can it be done? Come and see! Branch 132 South Bend, IN by John E. Burus There are only six more weeks to spring as I am writing this month's branch article. The snow has fallen often, has accumulated and has stayed on the ground. We have also had some very heavy rains which melted the snow quickly and caused the St. Joseph River to flood to historic levels. The water is starting to recede, but it looks like more snow and rain are in the forecast. Hoping Easter brings spring soon with some drier weather! Our branch will host its annual summer picnic on Sunday, July 29 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Potawatomi Park Pavilion #1 in South Bend, Ind. The permit has already been secured. The branch will provide the main items, sodas and utensils as in the past. We ask that all members make reservations by calling Janos P. Burus at 574-287-0590. We also ask each family coming to the picnic to bring a dish to share. Branch 132 continues to actively participate in community activities, including making donations to our local food bank, distributing Easter baskets and sponsoring a local softball team. We are blessed that we can make a difference in our community and hope to do so for the long foreseeable future. On March 5, as part of the Association's Join Hands Against Hunger campaign, Branch 132 made a donation to Indiana University at South Bend Food Pantry for students. We find this to be a great way to help the community as many college students struggle to pay for both school and a meal. The next Branch 132 membership meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 5, at the Martin's Supermarket Deli (first floor) on Ireland Road at 5:00 p.m. 20 0 April 2018 0 WILLIAM PENN LIFE
