Fraternity- Testvériség Page 19 channel: we do everything we can using the written media (newsletters, forms, online versions) to get the information out to our branches, but we also need their support in communicating their planned and completed activities back to us. We need to collect the data so we can submit our report on an annual basis. This will help us preserve our non-profit status in the future as well as establish brand-recognition in the local communities. We are planning to develop a PR kit for the branches so that Agents and HRFA can profit from these fraternal events. Mr. Morey brought to everyone’s attention that the Annual Golf Tournament is to take place on July 15, and the Picnic will be held on July 16 in Ligonier, PA. The exact date of the Annual Fraternal Meeting is still to be scheduled. Many thanks to the organizers and all who worked hard to for the success of this meeting. Thanks to all those who came in spite of the snow and unfavorable weather. Thank you all in Ohio for your kindness and hospitality! It was great to see you again! We will be back with sales training courses soon.

As the area coordinators gave reports of the activities in their respective districts one after the other, we listened to great and touching achievements of our branches in the field of benevolent work. Mr. Bill Nicholas (OH Director) and Mrs. Marge Nicholas (OH Area Fraternal Coordinator) began with sharing their Join Hands Day success story of the over 1,600 cookies baked and delivered to the VA Hospital in Brecksville, OH. Then they outlined the “Appalachian Project” for HRFA. As they explained, they had been engaged in a similar project for years in the past that targeted the needy people of the Appalachian Mountains. Everybody agreed that as a community outreach effort, the branches of HRFA should start collecting clothing items for the less fortunate in that area. The collection began, and the items were stored at the Bethlen Home until contacts with a reliable local organization called Mission West Virginia and the conditions for the delivery were established. Kati Levay at the Home Office took part in the organizational process as well, therefore a special thanks goes to her. We also would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas for the great idea, Reverend Imre Bertalan Jr. and his staff for storing the clothes for us, as well as Deneice and Julius Oroszvary for the trans fer. Our thanks to all participating branches and individuals. Through your contribution, this project became a true s uccess. Thank you all for your support!

We packed very carefully, stuffing the bags as tightly as possible since we knew there were large quantities at the Bethlen Home as well. The trip out to Ligonier, which normally takes about 5 1/2 hours, took 7 hours this time, because of the snow which started in the mountains and stayed with us clear into Ligonier. Monday morning, we met Rev Bertalan at the old Bethlen Home and immediately began packing the van. With skill, strength, and diligence, we were not able to fit
