Continued from page 1 column 5 Exciting Centennial Performances at William Penn Association’s well-deserved national and international recognition, and will perform at the other con­certs and dinner-dances planned for the Centennial celebration. Along with the dinner and entertainment, an exhibition of Hungarian artifacts will be on display during the evening. The exhibition will include original Hungarian costumes and hand crafts, but the main attraction will undoubtedly be the display of world-famous Herend Porcelain gathered for this special event. The list of international guests and speakers will feature both American and Hungarian political leaders as well as leaders in the effort to preserve Hungarian culture in America. The Centennial Dinner- Dance will also feature a parade of flags representing the frater­nal societies which over the course of 100 years have merged to form our present day Association. Many people have worked hard in organizing the Pitts­burgh banquet because “it is the focal point of our entire, Centennial celebration,” said Gay B. Banes, National President. “Many have said this is the most important event in Hungarian history to occur out­side Hungary itself,” he said. “Reaching our centennial is an important milestone . . . and over those 100 years we have maintained and continued to support Hungarian customs, culture and traditions.” The banquet will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Westin William Penn Hotel. Cocktail hour (cash bar) will begin at 6 p.m. followed at 7 p.m. by a prime rib dinner. The cost of the dinner is $18 per person. For those who are unable to attend the Pittsburgh celebra­tion, events have been scheduled in six other cities across the United States so that more of our Members can join in the festivities. The series will begin May 10 with a dinner-dance in South Bend, Indiana, sponsored by Branch 132. One week later, on May 17, a concert of Hungarian music will be held in Lincoln Park, Michigan, sponsored by Branch 18 in Detroit. The next day, May 18, another concert will be held in Parma Heights, Ohio, sponsored by Branch 14 in Cleveland. On May 31, Branch 27 in Toledo will host a gala dinner­­dance in Toledo, while Branch 19 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, has planned a special concert in New Brunswick for June 1. The Centennial events series will close June 7 with a dinner­­dance in Dayton, sponsored by Branch 249 in Dayton. All Association Members are invited to attend any or all of these grand events.

Mr. Banes entered private law practice in 1952, but even before then he was eagerly in­volved in numerous worthwhile endeavors. In 1949 he became Solicitor for the Port Vue School District. In 1951 he was elected to a seat on the Board of Directors of the William Penn Association. And during this time he campaigned to become Justice of the Peace in Port Vue Borough. As with all challenges Mr. Banes chooses to face, these three he parlayed into success. He was elected Justice of the Peace for not one but two terms, serving from 1953 to 1965. He completed his term as a Director of the William Penn Association and soon thereafter became its General Counsel and, in 1984, its Vice President of Planning. He continued to serve as Solicitor for the Port Vue School District through its two mergers until the present day, and he served as Solicitor for 11 other school districts, municipalities, and govern­mental authorities. In addition, Mr. Banes has been Chairman of the Board of Viewers of Allegheny County since 1973. He is a member of the Pennsylvania, Allegheny County, and American Bar Associations. He is the Chair­man of the Legislative Commit­tee of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress and was a member of the Ad Hoc Commit­tee of the National Fraternal Congress for the Model Frater­nal Code in Pennsylvania. The Code was signed into law as House Bill No. 207 by then Governor Milton Shapp in 1977. Despite his extremely full and active professional life, Mr. Banes expends equal, if not greater, energy on his personal life. He holds much pride in his Hungarian heritage and has held several positions in which he showed his concern for Hungarian people everywhere. He was an organizer and secretary of the Hungarian Freedom Fund and was Presi­dent of the Pittsburgh Branch of the American Hungarian Relief Fund at the end of World War II. Today, he serves as Chair­man of the Hungarian Room Committee at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a lifetime member of the Port Vue Volunteer Fire Com­pany, the Elks Club of McKeesport, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the Vizsla Club of America, the Audubon Society, and numerous professional and civic organizations.
