Pick up the phone and/or plan a visit. Branch 15 Chicago, IL by Sunny Corba The officers and members of Branch 15 Chicago wish you and your fam­ily a Happy New Year! As we gathered for our annual WPA holiday luncheon, we were re­minded of how thankful we are for our health and happiness. May 2018 bring you many joys and reasons to be thankful. We extend a special thanks to WPA for supporting our luncheon, and helping our branch members to enjoy and celebrate the holiday season. The tasty sandwiches from Jimmy John's and desserts were quite delicious. The luncheon was field at St. Luke's Christian Commu­nity Church in Morton Grove. The children cheerfully played together, colored in their coloring books, and even had a little time for hide-and-seek. With full bellies and happy smiles, everyone left with some small favors. Boldog új évet kívánunk minden tagunknak! (We wish a Happy New Year to all our members!) Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy New Year 2018! Would you believe it? I remember all of the hype about the year 2000. Well, we all lived through that, and now it's 18 years later. 1 hope that you are all healthy and happy. Our January deadline was Dec. 10, so we were still waiting for Christ­mas as this was being written. I hope yours was wonderful. I know that it was tough for some who have lost loved ones. I think of you all in my prayers. I am always available for a hug. Branch 18 is planning our usual overnight trip to Soaring Eagle. The dates are March 21 and 22. Our cost is $169 per person, which includes the bus, a luxury room, free play and a meal. I need to know as soon as possible if you're joining us, as we are sharing the bus with another group. Our communications officer Helen Sryniawski will also be calling you. Please let her know. And, as usual, if there is no interest, we will cancel. Please mark your calendars for our Join Hands Day project on June 9. We always appreciate your help. Our Christmas party was fun for all. Thank you to those who brought Eleanor Kender of Branch 18 (left), Re­becca Dare and Fraternal Director Barbara A. House enjoy the Szüreti Bál Nov. 11 at the American Hungarian Reformed Church in Allen Park, Mich. dessert and remembered our home­less furry friends. That was your admission to the party. Thank you to all who participated. I want to thank our officers, Home Office and all members who came early to help. We could not do it without you. The Hungarian Arts Club is work­ing very hard to make the upcom­ing 60th White Rose Ball a success. WPA has supported this event since 1974, and we will continue our sup­port as long as the Arts Club needs us. The entire Board of Directors and many WPA members from Branch 18 and other branches will again be there with their dancing shoes on. I hope that you will be, too. Judit Ganchuk, Fraternal Depart­ment secretary, and I are working daily, planning all events for 2018. Read William Penn Life every month so you will know what is planned for you. Look at the WPA Tour 2018 information in this issue. This will be our best trip ever! We will be doing things that we've never done before. As always, I can't wait. Many WPA members were at the Szüreti Bál at the Hungarian Ameri­can Reformed Church in Allen Park. As always, it was a great event. The meal was catered by the Hungarian Rhapsody and was wonderful.
