Radvany, Secretary 14 CLEVELAND, OHIO Mayor Joseph Dudás, a member of Branch 14 was sworn in to his second four year term of Office as Mayor of Lakeline Village, Ohio. The ceremonies carried Hungarian atmosphere. Granddaughter Kimberly Walcher, two years old, held the Bible during the oath. Father Kloos pronounced the invocation and benediction. Mrs. Elenore Mihály sang our National Anthem. The Mayor was presented with two Ohio flags, one by Senator McCormack and one by Commissioner Platz. A large portrait of the late Cardinal Mindszenty was presented to the Mayor by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Repansky. Mayor Dudás at the last “Lake and Geauga County City Managers and Mayors Association” was elected as Secretary of the Organization. Our congratulations are extended to Mayor Dudás and may he continue to be active in Branch 14 affairs. March 28th was a perfect Spring day - made to order. Cleveland Branch 14 can’t take credit for the weather, however, we can take credit for the successful card party we hosted that day. Hard work and dedication resulted in one of the most enjoyable and profitable events held by our branch. With over 100 people in attendance, prizes including an all expense paid weekend for two at the Marriott Inn and a $25.00 war bond were raffled off. In conjunction with our party, through the sale of Wm. Penn Hungarian Cookbooks, we raised approximately $270.00 to benefit a devoted member of Branch 14 who has been ill. We are especially grateful to the youth of our branch who helped enthusiastically. We also wish to express our gratitude and thanks to Mrs. M ary Kamya, who, as usual, did a lion’s share of the work; Cal Kamya whom we can always count on to assist wherever and whenever needed, and to Director Steve Lesco and his enthusiastic family members who contributed so much to the success of this event. The success of our card party has paved the way for many more activities from Branch 14. Preparations are already underway for our “First Annual Scholarship Ball” being held on June 12, 1976. For information and/or tickets please contact Julie Stypa, 4203 Russell Avenue, Parma, Ohio 44134 or phone 216-749-3379. Julie A. Stypa Secretary 18 DETROIT, MICH. The Annual Champagne Dance held on Saturday February 14, 1976, is a very happy memory by now. The Hungarian Reformed Church hall was filled to capacity by the musical strains of Frank Borisz and his Continental Orchestra. The food catered by Mrs. Mary Gyorke was superb and even the weatherman cooperated to make that evening a glorious one. The out-of-town guests included Mr. & Mrs. Albert Stelkovics and Mr. & Mrs. John Balia from the Home Office, Director Steve Lesco, his wife, and guests from Gevelarid, Ohio, Mikola Reszso from the Hungarian Embassy and approximately ten or twelve persons from Toledo, Ohio.

It is with a heavy heart that I report on the passing of Mrs. Suszanna Nelinger, one of the hard working pioneer women of Branch 18 and also the Ladies Auxiliary. She will be missed by many, not only her family. May her soul rest in peace. Also with sadness on the passing of Andy Toth, Jr. (Margaret New’s brother), Mr. S. Mosolgo (Margaret New’s uncle), and the late Mr. Andrew Tepfenhart (Rose Tepfenhart’s husband). May their souls rest in peace. Jolán Lucas is recovering from eye surgery and is okay!
