Branch 10 Barton, Ohio

We regret to inform the members of Branch 10, Barton, Ohio, that our faithful Branch Manager, Joseph Barath, after many decades of honorable service to his Branch and Association, tendered his resignation, effective December 31, 1979. All efforts to persuade Mr. Barath to remain as Branch Manager failed. He attempted to get someone from among the Branch members to assume the duties of Branch Manager, but he was unsuccessful.

The Home Office, therefore had no other choice, but to turn over the managership of Branch 10 to:

Mrs. Margaret Suták 1 South 12th Street Mariins Ferry, Ohio 43935

Mrs. Suták is also manager of Branch 40 in Martins Ferry, Ohio. All Branch 10 members can contact Mrs. Suták for servicing of their William Penn insurance.

For Mr. Barath we express heartfelt thanks for his many years of dedicated service. We wish him well in his retirement.

If there is anyone who didn’t attend last year, please try to support this wonderful event. The William Penn cook books will be available at the festival. If you hadn’t gotten one last year, be sure to purchase one ’cause the recipes are superb. They make wonderful gifts.

We officers and members of Branch 14 are proud and happy to have the Beda Family as active members.

We at Branch 14 hope everyone enjoyed a Blessed and Happy Easter.

With March 20th signifying the official arrival of Spring 1980, no one is more anxiously awaiting “outdoor” weather than Branch 14. We take great pleasure in announcing our newest undertaking — the William Penn, Branch 14 Softball Team! Many of our young members are on the team while the rest of us will be “official” cheerleaders. Mr. Gary Maddle is managing our team for the 1980 season. We’re hoping many of our families will partake in an enjoyable Sunday afternoon ball game. For a schedule of the games please call branch president Bob Stypa at 398-2769 or Gary Maddle in Mentor at 357-6346.

Plans are in full swing for our annual family picnic being held on Sunday, August 10th at St. Joseph’s Grove in Richmond Heights. Hungarian foods and a variety of refreshments will be served with music for dancing

by the popular Frank Borisz Orchestra. Please plan to attend — a good time is assured for all!

I urge any of our members seeking information or who might have something they would like published in our column, to please call me anytime at 398-2769. I assure you, I would welcome your call — anytime!

Sincerely,

Branch 1 8 Detroit, Michigan

At this writing, most of you are all planning for an eventful and fruitful bowling tournament to be held in Dayton, Ohio. Hope to see many of our old friends in Dayton.

Our Social Club held their Anniversary Dinner-Dance on Saturday, March 8th, with Joe Balint and his Orchestra playing for our listening and dancing pleasure. It was a real enjoyable and fun filled evening. Our talented young Hungarian dancers sponsored a successful card party on March 10th.

On May 3rd the William Penn Dancers held their annual dinner dance at the Hungarian Reformed Church, Allen Road, Allen Park, Michigan. Music was furnished by Joe Balint’s orchestra and a very nice program was presented by our young dancers which was entitled “Falusi Huszar Vásár.”

The wooden platter, once again was a complete sell out. Ann Lenny and Steve Szatmári did an excellent cuisine turnout.

We understand from the dancers that their bake sale held on March 29th, was very profitable. Keep it up dancers, you are doing a terrific job in all your endeavors.

The William Penn Branch 18 held a spring card party on April 28th. The Ladies Auxiliary is planning a card party on May 15th at the V.F.W. Hall—Montie and Fort St. Please patronize these ladies. They do a tremendous job for all of us in some way or another. We understand they will have plenty of nice door prizes, and most of all, a friendly atmosphere is presented by all these ladies to everyone. Plan on attending this affair and enjoy a wonderful evening with your friends.

We understand, at this writing that Andy Toth is organizing a golf tournament on June 29th. Anyone interested in joining, please call Andy.

Our Champagne Ball, which was held on February 16 was a great sue-
