BRANCH 36-V — DETROIT, MICHIGAN

By Jolán Lucas

Many thanks go to the members of Branches 36-V, 443-V, 511-V and 56-R and to District Managers Stephen Lukacs, Joseph Szabó and John Vass for their attendance and cooperation. This William Penn Junior Club activity proves beyond all doubt that full co-operation, beyond and above individual branch interest, can create successful fraternal activities. To me, it proves that a merging of

all branches, working towards one goal, can come much sooner and create greater fraternal interest and solidity.

There is more news but you will have to wait until the March issue!

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

‘TOR HUNGARIAN RELIEF”

Due to last minute urgent changes in the regular monthly meeting time, the already prepared written column for this month had to be scrapped.

On Sunday, February 10, 1957, the first meeting of Branch 36-V was held in the new district offices at which time it was decided to change the monthly meetings from Sunday to a week-day for the convenience of officers and members. The regular meetings hereafter will be held the SECOND SATURDAY EVENING of every month, at 7:30 P. M., in the William Penn district office at 3920 Fort Street, Lincoln Park. The telephone number is WArwick 8-0887 — office hours are from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. daily Monday through Saturday, with evening hours from 6 p. m. to 8 p. m. on Fridays. All branch and other administrative duties will be performed at this office for the convenience of Metropolitan Detroit and area members from branches 36-V, 443-V, 511-V and 56-R. There is a full-time office assistant who will take telephone calls and messages, who will collect dues and help the membership in any way possible. Messages can be left for the following district managers: District Manager Stephen Lukacs for Branch $6-V — home address and telephone as follows: 9459 Marlborough Avenue, Allen Park, WArwick 8-2317; District Manager Joseph Szabó, 9089 Lyon Street, Detroit 17, VInewood

2-8077, for Branch 443-V; District Manager John Vass, 7070 Rowan St., Detroit 9, for Branches 56-R and 511-V.

With the addition of a full-time office convenience, plus home addresses and phone numbers of the district managers, the William Penn membership in the metropolitan Detroit area will be enabled of almost 24 hour service. Please take advantage of this service as we want to see that all the more than 7,000 members in this Wayne County area be completely satisfied at all times. The next monthly meeting of branch 36-V will be Saturday evening, March 9, 1957 beginning at 7:30 p. m. at the above mentioned office.

For a first meeting of branch 36-V in the new quarters, it is with enormous pride that 1 can report that we had a larger attendance at a regular monthly meeting than we have held in many a year. The most difficult encumbiance was finding the office, since the building sign has not yet been installed. However, within the next few days, I understand that a large sign with “WILLIAM PENN FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION” will be installed, and it should be extremely easy to find. Directions to office: Straight out Fort Street beyond Southfield Road, a couple of blocks beyond the Lincoln Park Shopping Plaza, and the second building in the block. If you get lost, call the office and we’ll send out the bloodhounds to find you! But the very accessibility of the office location is one of its prime attractions. We were met at the door by District Manager Stephen Lukacs, President Martin Marton, Controller Joseph Marczis and Recording Secretary John Denes. My fellow auditor, Geza Madarasz was leaning on the counter, and it was almost like coming “Home.” home to our very own district office. Remodeling of the offices is in a modern manner, with a delightful and pleasant chartreuse paint pob throughout the building. An additional 44 foot space is in the rear of the building, which can be built up in the near future for small social gatherings and larger meetings. Personally, I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed a meeting so very much — it was a huge treat to get out of the dark and dreary “hole-in-thewall” on West Jefferson Avenue to such a pleasant, well-lighted and wellaired meeting place.

After many years of wrangling and discussion, for the first time in 50 years Branch 36-V will hold its meetings, NOT ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON, but on a Saturday, evening, which will leave the officers and regularly attending members to enjoy a free Sunday with their families. We are becoming streamlined and modern!

The fir&t profit-making venture, a bunco and card party held on Sunday afternoon, January 13, 1957 at 8005 W. Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, by the William Penn Junior Club was a huge success, beyond the dreams of the teen-age working committees. The hall was crowded almost to overflowing, but was run off so smoothly that it was^hard to believe that the major portion of the running around was capably handled by William Penn teen-agers. There were two prizes for each table of four, and believe it or not, eighteen door prizes. Donated by Steve Toth of the Delray Super Market was a 25 pound sack of flour won by our own Branch 36-V member, Joseph Knerly. Donated by, William Penn Vice President Julius Macker was a 100% wool scarf, won by Mrs. Frank Fers, and a 100% wool sweater, won by Ann Cabanaw. Donated by Auditing Committee Chairman Gaspar Papp was a valuable duffle bag, won by Mrs. Philomene Kadar. Cash prizes were donated by District Manager Joseph Szabó of branch 443-V; and a $20 donation by Joseph Saghy at the January branch meeting. Other prizes, cake and coffee were donated by a long list of interested members and parents of the William Penn Junior Club members. The party was so succesful that guests kept asking about the next one.

At the admission table sat Mrs. Geza Madarasz; the check room was successfully taken oven by teen-age members; other teen-agers took complete charge of the little children who were brought by their parents and entertained them in a corner of the hall so that Mom and Dad could enjoy the card party; still other teen-agers served refreshments and took on the many duties which are required to run a successful party. It was very rare and wonderful to see our young William Penn people serve so well in the duties which are usually handled by adults, and a great deal of credit is due to supervisors Mrs. Stephen Danko and Geza Madarasz for the wonderful training our young people displayed.
