Postmaster: If undelivered, please send form 3579 to: William Penn Association 709 Brighton Road Pittsburgh, PA 15233 LINCOLN PARK, MI — The Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 18 Detroit celebrated its 30th anni­versary with a banquet Sept. 22 at the branch’s Hungarian social home. The auxiliary was honored with a proclamation from Frank Sail, mayor of Lincoln Park, and a plaque of appreciation from the Association’s Board of Directors. The event also allowed those in attendance to reflect on the proud history of the Branch 18 auxiliary. The roots of the auxiliary can be traced back to 1959 when the Association’s General Conven­tion passed a resolution establish­ing a nationwide William Penn Ladies Auxiliary. That same year, Julius Macker, then national vice president and Branch 18 member, proposed the organization of a ladies auxiliary in the Detroit area. After many months of plan­ning, an organizational meeting was held on Jan. 15, 1961, to establish a Detroit regional auxili­ary comprised of two branch­­level auxiliaries: one from Branch 18, the other from Branch 500 Detroit. At this meeting, Julia Danko of Branch 18 was elected as regional chairwoman, and the following women were elected as the first officers of the Branch 18 Ladies Auxiliary: Margaret Veszprémi, president; Katalin Demeter, vice president; Elizabeth Foldvary, secretary; and Elizabeth Deregi, treasurer. The auxiliary wasted no time in becoming an active part of the branch community. It sponsored many events, including bake sales, dinners and card parties. In 1962, the auxiliary publish­ed its first cookbook, "Treasured Hungarian Recipees,” using mon­ey borrowed from its members. All loans were eventually repaid. In fact, the book was such a hit that it was reprinted 10 times. Profits from the sale of the cook­book were donated to the branch to help purchase its present social home and some appliances there. While providing invaluable services to its branch, the Branch 18 Ladies Auxiliary also has sup­ported charitable and benevolent causes in its local community and beyond. Local organizations such as the Cancer Fund, St. Elizabeth Briar Bank, Penrickton School for the Blind, Downriver Associa­tion for Retarded Children and Veterans Hospital, as well as the Bethlen Home in Ligonier, Pa., have all benefitted from the aux­iliary’s contributions of money and volunteer workers. The auxiliary’s members have also formed lifelong bonds of friendship through attending many auxiliary sponsored out­ings, including bus trips and dinner theater nights. Their monthly meetings have always been followed by social hours DETROIT — The Hungarian Arts Club of Detroit is offering scholarships of up to $2,000 to students of Hungarian descent pursuing a fine arts degree. Memorial scholarships in the names of Marta M. Patterson and Marjorie Z. Olah will be present­ed at the annual White Rose Ball in February. The judges decision will be announced to all appli­cants by Jan. 15. Applicants are required to sub­mit a portfolio with all items with bingo games and dessert. What has helped to keep the auxiliary a viable organization has been its leaders. The auxiliary considers itself fortunate for hav­ing four devoted presidents dur­ing its 30 years of existence: Margaret Veszprémi (1961- 1971), Elvira (László) Kubovics (1972-1982), Darlene Szatmári (1983), and Eleanor Kender (1984-present). It also owes a debt of gratitude to all past and present Branch 18 officers, ladies auxiliary officers and members and charter mem­bers who established, supported and participated in the auxiliary and allowed it to continue its good works. The auxiliary extends special thanks to Julius Macker, Elvira Kubovics and Julia Danko for making it possible for the auxili­ary to exist today. signed and dated, along with recommendations, critiques and affirmations by instructors.
