Kertesz National Director DAYTON, OH — By the time these lines reach print, the summer affairs and vacations of Branch 249, Dayton, Ohio, will be faded memories. We hope yours are memorable. To many of us William Penn members, the memories of this past summer will remain with us as an unforgettable precious part of our lives. We became part of a very historical event in celebrating the Centennial Anniversary of our Association. I personally feel honored to have experienced the auspicious events at the various locations and must now face the reality that as all good things, this too must end. We now look forward to the formulation of our local bowling league, arranged by Branch Vice President Steve Horvath. All those interested in joining our group of bowlers should call Steve at 434-3249. Arrangements are already in the primary stage to have a respectable number of Dayton teams participate at our 1987 National Tournament in Toledo, Ohio. Dayton teams have been very competitive in recent years, and we wish them continued succes in the coming season. Our branch meetings are held at 2 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month at St. Stephen’s Hall, 1114 Troy Street. Members are requested to attend so that various activities can be implemented for the benefit of our members and branch.

(Photo by Helen Kaluczky) YOUNGSTOWN, OH — The more things change, the more things stay the same. That thought struck me when I observed the William Penn exhibition at the Second Annual Heritage Day held Sept. 21 by the Youngstown American- Hungarian Club. One hundred years ago 13 Hungarian coal miners saw the need for a fraternal society of self-help and self-determination in caring for each other. Now, that same need has again surfaced in the vacuum created by the LTV bankruptcy. The William Penn Association, as it was 100 years ago, is there to help and provide a source of strength. We Hungarians are fortunate to have men with vision in the insurance and financial world. The William Penn exhibit blended quite well with all the other exhibits of arts and crafts: the colorful dancers; John Bunchy’s display of old photos and memorabilia and his famous violin; the csiga making. Jeff Ward and E.E. Vargo manned the exhibit, while Irene Nemeth and Delores Gain chaired the Heritage Day event. The branch extends its congratulations to the American- Hungarian Reformed Church which held its60th anniversary banquet Sept. 21. On Sept. 28, branch members attended a card social at St. Stephen of Hungary Church Hall. The event was organized by Dorothy Krusely. Branch meetings are held at 2 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month at the home of Branch Coordinator Gabe Nameth, 2230 Bears Den Road. The branch will elect officer for the coming year at its December meeting. Youngstown Has Heritage Day By Helen R. Kaluczky Branch 28 Reporter Branch 8149 Keeps Active Schedule By Marie Doyle Donohue Branch 8149 Reporter PITTSBURGH, PA - Branch 8149 has maintained a busy activities schedule in recent months. On Oct. 20, the branch held a card party for its members and friends, and on Nov. 7 to 9, several members went to Mount St. George for a retreat. The branch also joined Father William Cheetham in celebrating his 40th anniversary as a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh. Branch members recently gathered for a Communion breakfast at Drew’s Restaurant and attended a talk on “Alternatives to Abortion” at the Genesis Home in Bellevue, Pa., a home for unwed pregnant girls. The branch also wishes speedy recoveries to former branch reporter Florence Kirk and Julia Elder who were both hospitalized recently. Branch 296 Travels To Scenic View For Picnic By Michael J. Pellegrino Branch 296 Reporter SPRINGDALE, PA — A bus load and an entourage of cars carrying members of Branch 296, Springdale, left New Kensington, Pa., the morning of Sept. 13 for a basket picnic at Penn’s Scenic View. The beautiful scenery and outstanding accommodations had all the members wanting to return to the resort for a weekend visit. Branch members are still talking about the branch picnic held July 27 in honor of the Association’s 100th Anniversary. The event was a huge success thanks to all who attended, including the National Officers. The 50-50 raffle was won by Mike Ziegler.
