Other November activities included the HRC Trenton annual Christmas Bazaar. The Women’s Guild spent many days making stuffed cabbage, which turned out fantastic. The Youth Group spent six hours baking kifli to sell at the bazaar. Branch member Bill Kraemer was once again Santa Claus, as well as the DJ, and helped to entertain everyone, not just the children. Frank Király provided transportation for people who couldn’t drive. The next day, the Youth Group held a pancake breakfast, and after cleaning up, wrapped OCC boxes until 4 p.m., after arriving at church before 9 a.m. Branch 20 members spent a total of over 80 hours working on these four projects over the weekend. One Wednesday in November, Deneice Oroszváry dressed up in a traditional Hungarian outfit, packed a large box of every example of Hungarian handcrafts, books, and pictures available, and visited Martin House. This has become a yearly project because the school has an international week every year. Martin House is a pre-school in the center of Trenton, serving minority at-risk children. The children are always extremely polite, and each year learn to say “Jó reggelt”, “Köszönöm”, and “Szia”, plus count to ten in Hungarian before I arrive. By passing around board books, dolls, some of the tougher forms of embroidery, a piece of carved leather and one of wood, the group of 4-year-olds can stay interested for a 45-minute lecture. I am looking forward to going again next year, and will take along music, as well.

The weather was fabulous, adults and children had lots of fun. Kids enjoyed the swing sets and slides. Alexeys and Briana Hladluck were pulling numbers to win beautiful flower baskets and other items. And what a coincidence: little Alexeys pulled her mother’s number so she got to be the proud owner of a nice big piggy bank! Hungry visitors got to chose from hotdogs, Hungarian sausage (kolbász), L-R: Mrs. Irénke Ambrus, John Bujdosó (Branch President), and Mrs. Elizabeth Rácz with Julie Bujdosó in line for lunch fruit, salad, cookies, cakes, pop and coffee. The authentic Hungarian music that was played from a tape gave a nice audio-framing to the event.

The children who receive the boxes also learn about God’s greatest gift: his son Jesus Christ. When the shoe box is filled with toys and gifts, it becomes a treasure chest that can bring Christmas Joy and the love of God to a needy child. For the month of October we began Operation Christmas Child at our Christian Assembly Church. I was able to get the shoe boxes at the local drop area in Wexford, PA. Each Sunday during both services, as well as Wednesdays, I gave out boxes for the people to fill with gifts for the children. At the end of the month they were returned filled with gifts and photos for the children. In total we were able to fill about 210 boxes for the less fortunate. I believe the boxes are going to the hurricane hit areas in the United States this year. September 10, 2005: Our
