The branch participated in a Christmas gift project for Dinan patients without immediate fami­ly members. The project was sponsored by the Center’s Auxil­iary and its Marian Volunteers. For its support, the branch received a letter of appreciation signed by Center and project officials. "Your participation . . . can only bring a deep feeling of happi­ness and pleasure to those patients that they were not among the forgotten ones but were remem­bered during the Christmas sea­son,” the letter said. Branch 13 Trenton, NJ By Elsie H. Radvany Branch 13 Secretary Being branch coordinator, I am very happy to report that I’ve gotten may telephone calls from members telling me how much they enjoy reading the William Penn Life. Our congratulations to the staff for a very interesting and informative fraternal paper. Branch 13 held its annual meet­ing and family Christmas party on Dec. 6. President Frank J. Radvany gave a very detailed report of the events which trans­pired in the fraternal life of the William Penn in the year 1987. He also stated that Branch 13 donated a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family. Election of officers for 1988 was held, and the following were unanimously elected: Frank J. Radvany, president; Joseph Ham­­ari, vice president; Elsie H. Rad­vany, secretary; Anthony C. Beke, treasurer; and Margaret Hamari, controller. Steve Barnacz duly installed the newly elected officers. President Radvany extended Christmas greetings to everyone on behalf of the National Officers, Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Auditing Committee and branch officers. The festivities were enhanced by the sound of beautiful Christ­mas carols. The children were happy to receive gifts, and re­freshments were enjoyed by all. Two boxes of chocolates were raffled and were won by Mr. Beke and Mr. Barnacz. Branch 13 thanks the Home Office for its generous contribu­tion to our party. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. John E. Radvany II on the birth of their son, John Eugene Radvany III, and to Mr. and Mrs. Mark J. Kremper on the birth of their son, Mark Jude Kremper Jr. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the American Hungarian Demo­cratic Citizens’ Club on South Clinton Avenue, Trenton.

Branch 14 Cleveland, OH There were 84 children and 102 adults at Branch 14’s Christmas party Dec. 12, making it a record­­breaking crowd. Lucky the Clown painted the children’s faces and made animal shapes out of balloons for them. Everyone then enjoyed a fabulous magic show starring Leigh Hotz. After a buffet dinner which featured sloppy joes, hot dogs, pizza and refreshments, Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived with gifts for all the children. One person mentioned Santa and his wife bore a striking resem­blance to Branch President Rose Kaul and her husband Chuck. What a coincidence! Dawn Ward, Christmas party chairwoman, said she is looking forward to even bigger and better Christmas parties as the branch continues to increase its juvenile membership. The leftover toys from the party were donated to Toys-for- Tots. At the branch’s December meeting, the following officers were elected: Rose Kaul, presi­dent; Ron Perkins, vice president; Ernie Sarosi, treasurer; Stan Do­­rulla, secretary; Irene Evans and Chuck Kaul, auditors; and Gene Toth, sergeant-at-arms. We invite all members to at­tend branch meetings on the second Wednesday of the month at the VFW Hall, 4116 Rockside Road, Independence, Ohio. We would like to extend belat­ed congratulations to Branch 14 member Donna Borowski, who received her degree in Nursing from Cuyahoga Community Col­lege in June 1986. Mrs. Borowski is the mother of three sons —Joey, 7, Michael, 5, and Matthew, 1 — all of whom are William Penn members. She also earned a B.A. degree in psychology and early child­hood education from Ursuline College in 1979. But becoming a registered nurse was always her goal. She credits her mother, Mrs. Margaret Kerosky (a member of Branch 14) in helping her attain her goals by watching her children while attending college. Mrs. Borowski was inducted into Who’s Who in American Col­leges and Universities. She current­ly works in the maternity ward of Brentwood Hospital, Warrens­­ville Heights, Ohio. Donna, we’re proud of your accomplishments and pleased to have you as a member. We are always looking to con­tinue to build the branch with Donna Borou/ski, RN, a member of Branch 14 Cleveland, Ohio. new members, especially juvenile members.

A report on the party and election will appear in the next issue of the William Penn Life. Branch 18 Detroit, MI By Barbara House Branch 18 Secretary The children’s Christmas party was held on Dec. 5 with 62 children in attendance. Darlene the Clown entertained our guests. Thanks Darlene. Santa Claus made his appearance and handed out gifts. All in all the children had a great time. Darlene and Andy Toth are signing up children almost every day for new insurance policies. At their present rate we should have double the number of child­ren at next year’s party. James Lochinger would like to tell his wife Kathy "Happy Anni­versary and thank you for 30 wonderful years” on Nov. 26. Darlene Szatmári and her dance group sponsored a Christmas theme card party. As usual this annual event was a sell-out. The prizes were Christmas-oriented and helped to put everyone in the mood for the holiday season. Our dancers also put on a benefit dance concert to help out the Southgate High School band. The band has been asked to ap­pear at Disney World on New Years Eve. The concert helped the band earn enough money to make the trip. Good work, dancers! The newly elected officers of Branch 13 Trenton, N.J. are: (front, from left) Margaret Hamari, controller, Elsie H. Radvany, secretary; (back) Joseph Hamari, vice president; Frank J. Radvany, president; and Anthony C. Beke, treasurer. Irene and Rudy Korpák recent­ly returned from Florida. Along the way they visited with our "first lady”, Julia Danko. Now they must perform the difficult task of returning to reality. Wel­come back.

Branch 19 New Brunswick, NJ By Ruth Vasvary Branch 19 Vice President Our branch held its annual elec­tion of officers on Dec. 7 at the Bayard Street Presbyterian Church Hall. Re-elected were the incum­bents: Joseph Arvay, president; Ruth Vasvary, vice president; Barbara Hegedűs, secretary; Irene Evans, treasurer; and Alex Hor­vath, Louis Keller and Anthony Vass, auditors. Our family Christmas party was held on Dec. 6 at the church hall. Joseph Arvay, chairman of the national Board of Directors, welcomed the guests. He intro­duced Agency Manager Alexan­der Hody and all the officers of Branch 19. Mr. Hody was asked to say a few words to which he complied. Our entertainment was Jonjie the Clown, a magician who it seems is always a welcome part of the party. The Rev. Joseph Bodnar of the Bayard Street Church led the singing of the Christmas carols, accompanied by Helen Nemeth on the organ. Santa and Mrs. Claus (Arlene Vasvary Miller) arrived and pre­sented the children with gifts and candy. A buffet supper was then enjoyed by all. We extend best wishes to all our members for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 1988. Just to make sure the new year is a good one, here’s a little recipe you might want to try: Recipe for a Happy New Year Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time, for it works best if you work on it just one day at a time. Into each day put: 12 parts of Confidence 11 of Patience 10 of Grit 9 of Elbow Grease 8 of Faith 7 of Hope 6 of Charity 5 of Kindness 4 of Prayer 3 of Rest 2 of Meditation and 1 Carefully Selected Resolution Then add about a cupful of Folly, a jigger of Laughter, a sprinkling of Play and a heaping cupful of Good Humor. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat, garnish with a lot of Smiles, a sprig of Joy. Then serve quietly with Unselfishness and Cheerfulness and a Happy New Year is a certainty.
