Ann Hrabar 18 Detroit, Michigan This reporter will try to report all future branch news to you in the same capable manner that your former “Ferret” did. The Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 18 (Detroit, Michigan) held their monthly meeting and voted to award a $250.00 scholarship to Miss Jessica Somergary, a third year student at Michigan State University, Lansing, Mich. Miss Somergary is majoring in French and upon graduating, intends to enter the teaching profession and make it a career. Miss Somergary is a former member of the Junior Club and the Dance Group of Branch 18 and was always a very active member in these and other activities at the branch. The Ladies Auxiliary, recognizing the exceptional abilities of Miss Somergary sincerely hopes that this scholarship award shall aid her in realizing her ultimate goal in the field of education. We now have a mixed bowling league consisting of 64 men and women and this adds up to 16 teams. How’s that for starters? So look out all of you other bowlers next year when we meet in New York City! Here is an invitation to all of our branch members and their friends. Mark your calendars for next February 15th when Branch 18 will have their second annual “Champagne Ball”. It will be held at the Hungarian Reformed Church Hall in Allen Park and will include such lavish items as Champagne on each table, all of your favorite refreshments and some good old fashioned “Kolbász”, “Paprikash” Potatoes and much more. There will be dancing to two top flight local orchestras. Joe Balint and his orchestra will play his traditionally fine Hungarian music and for you more orthodox Hungarians, American music will be furnished by John Vespremi and his “Naturals”. Several door prizes will be given away and the main event of the evening will be the raffling of a brand new “Color Television”. So how can you lose? But there is one catch, all tickets must be purchased in advance, so don’t lose out on this event. On Sunday, December 8th, Branch 18 will have their annual elections of Officers for the coming year 1969 and all members are urged to attend and vote for the candidate of your choice. Immediately following the meeting and elections, we shall begin our gala annual Childrens Christmas party, which in past years has always been very successful. Santa will be there, along with candy, pop, games, gifts, singing and what have you. So parents, set this day aside for your children and join us in observing the coming yule season. The William Penn Sports Club held their election of officers for the next two years and here are their names: Joseph Gross, President; Art Lang, Vice President; John P. Vespremi, Secretary; and Joseph Demeter, Treasurer. Good luck fellows. New edition of popular Cook Book published by the Ladies Auxiliary of the William Penn Fraternal Association.

Mary Ann Stanko 28 Youngstown, Ohio The weather outside is frightful. I’ve tried to close my eyes to the fact that winter is just around the corner. Around that same corner is Christmas, so I guess that is something pleasant to look forward to between now and next spring. As I reported last month, it will be our pleasure to help Santa Claus entertain our little members (thru 12 years of age) on December 8th this year. We will be waiting with Santa at 1:30 p.m. at St. Stephens Auditorium, 854 Wilson Avenue on Sunday, Dec. 8th. We hope (Continued on Page 6) 4
