DETROIT "CHAMPAGNE BALL" HUGE SUCCESS Greetings fellow members and I shall begin this bulletin to announce that our second annual “Champagne Ball” was a huge success last February 15th. It was a sellout and several persons had to be turned away much to our regret and theirs as well. Nearly 400 guests turned out for this gala affair and when it was all over every morsel of that good Hungarian food and pastry was gone. The champagne flowed freely along with the other refreshments. The two orchestras of Joe Balint and John Vespremi provided continuous entertainment and during the evening everyone took part in a good old fashioned singa-long, and there were many hoarse people by the end of the evening. A multitude of door prizes were given away by President Stephen Danko. A great big “Thank You” goes to all of those grand Ladies who worked for two days, cooking and baking and also serving the guests, also “Thanks Fellas” for the work you did decorating the hall, tending the bar and greeting the guests. It is people like these that makes William Penn members the “fraternalists that they are”. The pictures shown here will attest to the good time that was had by all and already we are planning our next big affair for next year. (You other branches throughout the country, take note of this type of affair, and follow suit. It is the type of event that brings all good fraternalists together.) ATTENTION Branch 18, 56 and 500 bowlers. If you wish to take part in traveling to New York as a group to the annual Fellowship Days next May, contact Stephen Danko or Julia Danko at their home by phoning 287-8035. We are flying to New York for the low fare of $53.55 round trip. You do not have to be a bowler to take part in this group flight but you must be a member of William Penn.

At this writing it is anticipated that we will have ten teams going to the Tournament and all team captains are urged to complete their entry forms and mail them in immediately.
