1955 / Verhovay Journal
DON’T FORGET: MAY 28—29,IN CHICAGO PAGE 16 Verhovay Journal April 20, 1955. >&= m MOTOR CITY NEWS BRANCH 36 — DETROIT, MICHIGAN By Jolán Lucas “Peace be unto you.” (St. Luke, 24:3«.) Since there is a great deal of stuff which should be given to the members this month, and since, as usual, your Ferret is bucking the omnipresent dead-line, let’s get to it! First on the list... The Annual Verhovay Children’s Day Program, sponsored by Branch 36 on Sunday, March 27th, was an enormous success. From what I understand, the hall was filled to capacity with happy children and proud parents pnd visitors. THE PROGRAM: 1. President Joseph Heck greeted the gathering- and introduced Vice- President and Board Director Julius Macker as Toastmaster. 2. To the violin accompaniment of Steve Danko, the national anthem was sung. Robert Jozsa recited that great Hungarian poem, “Talpra Magyar”. 3. Violin solo by Steve Danko. 4. Hungarian csárdás solo by Darling Danko. 5. Accordion solo by 8 year old Walter Koziol, who distinguished himself by a rendition of “A Simplicity Mazurka”. 6. The Continental Dance Studio, under the capable direction of Mrs. Irene Young (of Hungarian descent), presented Lois Long, Au t u m n Houghton, Catherine Carsine and Patricia Nedvicki in toe ballet and tap dancing. Very professional performances! 7. The Lovett Dance Studio under the capable direction of Mr. Lovett himself presented some lively toe dancing and waltzes performed by: Ronnie Hall, Patricia Ka.ipus. Cynthia Wisecki and Ronald Antosch. 8. Ballet by Brenda Madarasz, accompanied by Ida Madarasz. 9. Tap dancing by John and Susan Nyeste, accompanied by Ida Madarasz. 10. Seven year old Joseph Moharos played a beautiful piano solo. 11. Pepike (Patricia Ann) Beli danced a Hungarian csárdás. I’ve seen this tiny tot on the Auntie Dee Television programs — very talented indeed! 12. A sailor tap dance capably performed by Diana Malinak, Donna Penman, Patricia Burke and Yvonne Bish. 13. The highlight of the program was the dance group in their beauitiful Hungarian costumes, under the capable di-ection of Mrs. Stephen Danko, born Julia Papp (daughter of Caspar Papp of the National Auditing Committee). Special thanks should go to Mrs. Danko for -volunteering many long and tiring hours of rehearsing these youngsters. This dance group, by the way wi ll have its picture taken at the nearest rehearsal, and the picture will be in (the May issue of the Verhovay Journal. Also, at this time, it should be brought to the attention of everyone that in the near future the group will be seen on the Auntie Dee Television program. I wish I knew the exact date so that you would be on the lookout, but no one seems to be certain at this time. Look for them anyway — daily on Channel 7 at 5 p. m. — you just may be lucky enough to catch them. In addition, if you don’t mind a suggestion from your reporter, why not have thisi group appear on the “Folk Songs” program on Channel 9 at 5 p. m. Wednesdays. All nationality groups have their day in the sun on this program, and it would seem to me that children performing would be doubly welcome. The little ladies who participated in this group were: Darling Danko, Beatrice Danko, Mary Ann Danko, Brenda Madarasz, Ida Madarasz, Geraldine Mahar, Velma Miskovits, Charlotte Mouser, Emilyn Jozsa, Linda Bencze, Barbara Borboly, Jeannette Caspar, Eleanor Lacz.o. Patsy Kamm, Jill Molnár, Jessie Somogyvari, Diana Pesti, Nina Pesti, Jolán Jelics, Jennifer Balogh, and Patricia Wirth. (From me: Thank you young ladies, I wish my Teen-Age Larry could have met you all!) 14. A short, though authoritative, explanation of the various Verhovay’ certificates was presented by Traveling District Manager Stephen Lukacs and Board Director Richard J. Phillips. 15. Vice-president Martin Marton thanked the gathered guests for their kind participation in this very succesful program, after which the 40 young performers sang the national Hungarian anthem. 16. The last —■ but by no means the least — refreshments were served 'to everyone present. Until next year at this time again, a grand time was had by all!1 * * * P. S. If any names were misspelled or if I forgot to mention anyone, I p ease call me and corrections will j be made in the May issue of the Journal. Thank you. * ¥ * MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN: It is beginning to become a custom for Branch 3« to hold its own membership campaign for the Annual National Verhovay’ Bowling Tournament and Fellowship Days. This year, as in 1954, the branch will pay $5.00 for each $1,000 worth of certificates with six months’ due4 paid in, between April 1st and May 31st, which is secured by any member of the branch. For those hard-working members who are able to secure $5,000 worth of new business, they will receive not only $25 in cash paid by the branch, but Traveling District Manager Stephen Lukacs will see to it that these winners are transported to Chicago, and will, out of bis own pocket, pay other exament banquet. These winners will be representatives of Branch 36 at j this great annual fiesta, and it would be a distinct honor if the largest Verhovay branch would be well represented. Please call Mr. Lukacs at VVA 8-2317 or drop in at, the district office at 8005 W. Jefferson. if you have the slightest inkling j of a new prospect... he-will do all 1 the work... you will reap all the benelCs! This y’ear’s membership campaign is to honor Directors Aloysius Falussy, Richard J. Phillips (from Detroit) and. the late Joseph Turner. Just between you and me. this membership campaign for the Motor City members would be a great way for the bowling team to make all its expenses. How about it? * * * Speaking of the bowling team, !this year Branch 86 will be represented by Captain Joe Lorincz, Steve Vargo, Andy Bobrocky, John Paycheck, Frank “Skeets” Novak and Wally “Lefty” Novak. The branch officers and members, plus the howlers, have some splendid ideas, so that future tournament expenses (which can be almost prohibitive) for these get-togethers can be accumulated over a »period of several months, if the gang can get together between now and May 28, a house party will be planned, the first to be held in the recreation room of the | Lucas home (which by the way, can hold almost 100 people), all food •and liquid refreshments to be donated by various branch officer’s, members and possibly the branch treasury. Admission will be very small and will include dancing, cards | or whatever other entertainment an active group can decide on. Look for the boxed item for full particulars as to date, place and cost. * ¥ * DISTRICT MEETING... One more piece of important information, and PLEASE READ CAREFULLY (the pre-convention district meetings will be held in the month of JUNE by the majority of districts. Branch 36, which is a district in itseM, the 24th. will hold its district meeting on Sunday, June 19th at 2:00 p. m. in the large hall of the former Verhovay Fraternal Home, 8005 W. Jefferson Avenue. Please plan to attend in a large majority as you, the members, will have to elect the five delegates who will represent Branch S6 at the Verhovay Convention in September. This is a very important meeting and should be attended by as many members as can possibly make it. Cards will be mailed to all the Verhovay members shortly after j June 1st, so look for yours. Vice-president and Board Director Julius Macker enlightened the members at the April meeting- by answering many questions about the various details of the proposed merger with the, Rákóczi Aid Association. It is very important that the members elect delegates who will properly understand the significance of this merger and the many other urgent matters which will be concluded at the Convention. This is the meeting at which all the members» can make suggestions to improve their fraternal association. REMEMBER ... SUNDAY, JUNE 19TH, at 2:00 P. M. SHARP. Every member welcome!
