Page 16 TESTVÉRISÉG Joshua Ritchie, HRFA member and grandson of Andrew and Ilona Szabó, helping out at the nursing home on Halloween. Our first Advent tea party at the Hungarian Reformed Church of Allen Park was a big success. We had twenty tables each seating eight people. Each table was attended by a hostess who had invited her own guests. Among my guests were branch members Jolán Bolash and Louise Vespremi. We all had a grand time!
