Homestead Branch 89 held their Children’s Christmas Party in the recreation hall of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. The party was well attended by the Branch children and their parents. The party got off to a grand start with everyone singing Christmas Carols and getting into the real Christmas spirit. After exercising our voices, movies were shown by the Field Supervisor, Mr. Gus Nagy, and the children enjoyed them immensely. During the movies, refreshments were served. However, the most exciting moment was to come with the arrival of the most awaited guest, Santa Claus, who came bounding in with his HO, HO, HO’s. The expression on the faces of the children was something to behold. Their eyes were so bright and shining and they were bursting with questions and requests for Santa which pleased Santa to no end. After Santa answered their questions and sang a few songs with them, he distributed the gifts along with a bag of goodies for each child. We of Branch 89 agreed that this year’s Christmas party was a great success and enjoyed by young and old alike. After the Christmas party, Homestead Branch 89 held their monthly meeting, the main purpose of business being the Election of Officers for the year of 1972. The following Officers were elected and installed by Field Supervisor, Mr. Gus Nagy: John S. Toth, Sr., President; Elmer W. Toth, Sec.-Treas.; Betty Kohut and George Wr.llick. Auditors; Bert Priam and Ruth D. Toth. Publicity. Elmer W. Toth, Sec.-Treas. 129 Columbus, Ohio The Annual Children’s Party which was held at the William Penn Club Home was a great success. Mrs. Emma Bolar, Entertainment Chairman introduced Mr. David George, Branch 129 President, followed by a short program and singing of Carols by the audience. Refreshments were served, and finally, just what the children had been waiting for, Santa made his appearance and passed out gifts. A gay time was had by all. It was indeed an honor to have Mr. David George and Mr. Lou Miller represent Branch 129 at the William Penn National Convention.

The Christmas Dinner and Dance by the Athletic Club was a gala event. The Officers and Board of Directors Steak Dinner, to which all the wives are guests is always a pleasureable time, recalling memories of our elder by-gone members, who made this event a tradition. However, the most festive of all events was the Children’s Christmas Party, with the coming of Santa Claus, played by Michael Korosy, Secretary of Branch 189. Ninety children sang Christmas Carols, under the direction of Penny Duruttya, who also led the children in playing games, with all winning prizes! Well filled stockings and refreshments were enjoyed by all the children. Special thanks to President Michael Duruttya, Board members, Robert Hahlan, John Francis and Michael Korosy for being Santa’s helpers!
