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.
