John was a member of WPA-Branch 28 and a member of the Board of Directors for the Bethlen Communities. I was glad to have had the opportunity to be on the Bethlen Board with John, who was a great teacher and mentor. John also supported the noodle mak­ing activity of The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Walton Hills, Ohio. May he rest in peace. Get well wishes are being sent to all of our Branch 14 and WPA members as well as our friends, who might be feeling under the weather or dealing with health is­sues.

Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy Valentine's Day. I hope you spent it with all those special people in your life. Happy Valentine's Day to you, mom. I know you always read Wil­liam Penn Life. My hand is still in a full cast, so this will be briefer than most of my articles. I want to thank everyone for all the cards, gifts, phone calls and good wishes since my surgery. As always, it was a little different than I had expected. I am still not driving, and Tom is still not in Florida. Soon, we hope. The last two issues of William Penn Life were the best ever. All of your parties and pictures were won­derful. Thank you all for spreading the great fraternalism of William Penn Association. Our December branch meet­ing was cancelled due to the huge amount of snow we got that day. We are rescheduling that meeting for March 14. That will still be our "Christmas meeting." We will serve dinner for all. We'll also be hold­ing our $10 grab bag; if you wish to participate, bring a wrapped gift. Members, as usual, are welcome to bring desserts or anything you had planned to bring in December. We will meet at 6:00 p.m. at the Hungar­ian American Cultural Center, as always. Our Soaring Eagle trip scheduled for March has been cancelled due to too many snow birds not returning home in time. We will plan the same trip for late spring or summer. Happy birthday to two very spe­cial people, Linda Enyedy and Diane Torma. We wish you many more. Get well wishes go to our won­derful members, especially Eleanor Kender, Pammy George, George and Doris Schvarckopf, Beata Császár, Joe Csereklye and good friend, Steve Evans. May you all feel better soon. Please remember in your prayers our deceased members and their families, especially Margaret Ver­dun and Ralph Wegienka. May they rest in peace. I will be home in Michigan this winter.

Stay healthy, warm and safe. Keep track of all your acquaintances. Bring all your animals inside. Be a good friend to all. This weather can't last forever. My thought for the month: "Here is a test to find out if your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't." Branch 19 New Brunswick, NJ by Evelyn Bodnar We had a wonderful Christmas party at Confectionately Yours in Kendall Park. It was Hungarian night at the restaurant. The food was excellent and so was the company. We were served delicious plates of chicken paprikás, gulyás and stuffed cabbage. We welcomed six new members and their parents. The chil­dren loved their gifts from the WPA Home Office! We have been very active at the Bayard Street Presbyterian Church. On Thanksgiving Day, the church hosted a free dinner for those in need in New Brunswick, and over 200 grateful people were served full WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 February 2018 0 13
