Continued on page 12 column 1 Branch 28, Youngstown, Ohio News Our annual Christmas Party for the children of William Penn was held December 15 at Our Lady of Hungary Church at 2:00 P.M. The children and their parents were welcomed to the party by Santa Claus and his helpers. His co-workers were Mike Tomcsak, Helen Kaluczky, Mary Schauer, Frank Schauer, John Kaluczky and Leslie Wash. The children were treated with candy, Cracker Jacks, soda, sandwiches and crisp dollar bills. The parents had the same except the dollar bills. We received a gift from the William Penn which also made it possible to have an organ player that led the group in Christmas Carol singing. The children and parents enjoyed the singing and the Christmas Carols brought back memories to the parents. We also had a ventriloquist which was enjoyed by all. We had a very jolly Santa Claus, Mike Tomcsak (he always does his best). At our branch meeting on December 23, 1984, the present officers were reelected for another year. It sure would be a surprise to me and the officers to see more members present at our meetings. Leslie Wash, Reporter Branch 336, Harrisburg, Pa. 110 children attended the family Christmas party. Santa Claus presented all the children with gifts and all were treated to hot dogs, orange juice, cookies and ice cream and a dog show. Alex Fabiankovitz Branch Coordinator LL 14
