Arrangements are progressing with much zeal and enthusiasm by the Branch Officers to make the Diamond Jubilee event on September 29th an outstanding and memorable event.

It was on September 18th, 1898 when 19 Hungarian residents of this city met and organized Branch No. 8 of the then known Verhovay B. S. Society. The minutes of this meeting show receipts of $24.80, expenditures of $7.75 leaving a net of $17.05.

The observance of the Diamond Jubilee will be in the traditional Hungarian style with a banquet comprised of home-made food and delicacies, followed by dancing to the tunes of outstanding Gypsy music.
