The annual Christmas Party of Branches 2 and 4 was held on Saturday evening, December 9th in our Federation Hall.

We had a full house and a delicious dinner was prepared by Mrs. Mary Balogh, President of Branch No. 4 and her corp of officers. Everyone looks forward to this party as it is an evening when the members can get together and socialize. Refreshments were served before the dinner and afterwards the group joined in the singing of Christmas Carols led by Mrs. Betty Gal- gany. The invocation was given by Rev. Gabor Brachna, Pastor of The First Hungarian Lutheran Church.
