Branch News they mark the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Szabó Fu­neral Home in Youngstown by their grandfather. As third-generation conductors of their family's business, Steve and David continue to serve the needs of those suffering the loss of a loved one with great compas­sion. Congratulations to Bettyann Nagy on the publication of her article, "Backyard hibernators could be hid­ing in plain sight," which appeared on the front page of Youngstown's local newspaper, The Vindicator. Congratulations also to all those celebrating a birthday or anniver­sary this month. Get well wishes go out to all those feeling under the weather, especially Margie Sams, Steve Breznai, Pat Purton, Joe Nemeth, Irene Devlin and Tina Nemeth. We also send get well wishes to those who have had some minor issues during the flu and ice season, including Mary Rose Purton, Cheryl Gabrick, Ernie Sarosi, Michelle Schwartz Tyson and John Tollas. Special healing thoughts to Linda Enyedy as she recovers from a recent accident. We extend our deepest sympathy to all those who have recently lost a loved one. Special prayers to the families of John Morey, David Val­entine and Paul Martincsek. A reminder to all our college­­bound students: see pages 24 to 26 of this issue for information and an ap­plication form for WPA scholarship grants. Please pay close attention to the deadlines. Wishing a blessed Easter season to all our members. For information about Branch 28 activities or WPA products, please call either Kathy at 330-746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis Belated congratulations to WPA on our 132nd anniversary! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. We made charitable donations last month to the Community Food Bank and the Humane Society. Branch 34 tries to "pay it forward" when we can. We are very disappointed that we had to miss the White Rose Ball due to the flu. We especially missed see­ing our friends. The ball is always a beautiful event. Can't wait to see pictures of the debutantes and their escorts. We definitely missed the de­licious Rhapsody dinner and Father Barnabas' Mass on Sunday. Hope to see everyone next year. A special "happy birthday" to branch members Mitzi Berei, our nephew Bob Healy III, our great­­niece Rhiannon, special friend Becky Williams and all branch members celebrating their birthdays. Extra special birthday wishes go to my husband, Andy. Love you very much. We hope that you all are happy and healthy, and may you have many more. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone experiencing health issues. Please remember our deceased members in your prayers. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Margue­rite McNelis at 412-421-6031. Branch 44 Akron, OH by Elizabeth Darago Hello, spring! Well, we can hope. It's been a cold and snowy winter here in Ohio, but good weather is just around the corner. I want to thank the 60-plus members and their families who attended the family holiday party in December. Thank heavens it was before the deep freeze hit the area. We collected a nice arrangement of non-perishable food items which have restocked the shelving unit of our recipient's home. We're sending out a second basket in a few days, and I'll update you next month. We are also providing coats and gloves for young ones at ACCESS, a shelter for homeless women and children. Our branch officers want to thank our fellow members for all the sup­port they have provided during the past year. I thought this month, members might like to know a little about Bob Chula, our branch vice presi­dent. Bob is a mentor in our area's Valor Court. The Summit County Valor Court was established in November 2013, recognizing that many veterans return to civilian life with serious trauma (physical and mental) which may lead to involve­ment in the criminal justice system. This court provides veterans with access to programs, treatment and interaction with mentors to enhance chances of success for the veterans. Bob Chula spent 14 years in the Army and is an excellent choice for a mentor. He's chosen a very personal way to give back to our community. WPA is lucky to have such a mem­ber. Bob is also a certified hypnotist, providing services to veterans and anyone else who needs them. He works under the name, "A Veteran Hypnotist." Look for more branch news next month. If you have any news, we'd love to hear it. Call 330-753-5270. Need insurance? Contact Alan Szabó at 330-482-9994. Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec and Mark S. Maskarinec We recently made a delicious batch of hurka at the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead, with the help of Chef János and Endre Csornán. Even though people were still clamoring for more of our authentic kolbász and hot sausage, we brought hurka to Homestead. There's a good chance some might still be left for you to purchase. To find out for sure, please call Branch Vice President Mark Maskarinec at 412-398-2078 or email him at mark. maskarinec@bipc.com. Price is $12 for a 2-pound package. Branch officers John S. Toth Jr., Mark S. Maskarinec, Ruth Toth, Jus­tin Toth and Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec will once again represent not only Branch 89 but also the First Hungar­ian Reformed Church of Homestead at the Annual Steel Valley Rotary Dinner-Dance. The Rotary is co­sponsor of our annual golf outing, and we believe it's only right to WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 March 2018 ° 19
