Branch 8 Johnstown, PA By Vera Petruska Branch 8 President Congratulations and best wishes go out to Sándor Yuhas and Donna Stiles Yuhas who were married this past Christmas Eve at the Hungarian Reformed Church in the Cambria City area of Johnstown. Sándor is Branch 8’s coordinator, and Donna is a nurse at Mercy Hospital Medical Center. Much happiness to you both. The children’s Christmas party that was to be held Dec. 13 had to be cancelled due to a severe snow storm. Thank you to all parents and grandparents who stopped by later to pick up the gifts we had for the children. We also thank the Home Office for the calendars, pens, crayons, color­ing books and song books. They were all well received. Our December-January meet­ing was held Jan. 10 at the Hun­garian Reformed Church social hall. Elected during this meeting as branch officers for 1993 were: Vera Petruska, president; Mary Ann Groshans, vice president; Donna Stiles Yuhas, secretary; Sándor Yuhas, treasurer; and Mary Groshans and Elaine Engle, auditors.

Branch 16 Perth Amboy, NJ By Meagan Mirkovich Branch 16 Reporter William Penn Branch 16 held its annual Christmas party Dec. 12. The event began with hot dogs and chips for everyone. Then Branch President George Mirko­vich welcomed everyone, and Board Vice Chairman Michael Hrabar extended greetings from the Home Office. The children were entertained by Patti the Clown, who made balloon figures for everyone and led a competitive game of "hot potato” in which everyone left a winner. She finished by painting the children’s faces. We then joined in a sing-along, which featured a surprise guest popping in during the singing of the old favorite, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” The day ended with a visit with Santa and treats for everyone. The party was a success with a turnout of 35 children and their families. The members of Branch 16 would like to thank everyone who helped make it such an exciting and eventful day. We look forward to another great party this year. Before the party Branch 16 elected its officers for 1993. They are: George Mirkovich, presi­dent; Mary Mészáros, vice presi­dent; Stephan Mészáros, secre­tary; and Annette David and Michaelene Mirkovich, auditors. During her Christmas break, branch member Melissa Mirko­vich went on a trip to London with members of her band from Elizabethtown College and the Philadelphia Brass. This talented group performed in a New Year’s Day parade and at the Royal Albert Hall. Melissa enjoyed her trip, and we at Branch 16 are proud of her success in the music field. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI By Barbara Ann House Branch 18 Secretary Pro-Tern We at Branch 18 are busily form­ing our teams for the national bowling tournament. If you need some help or would like to be placed on a team, please call me at 283-2793. We are hoping for a big turnout for this our 50th tournament. Plan on joining us for all the festivities. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the family of Elmer Kester. Elmer was a very special person and my very special friend. Rest in peace, you will be missed. Emma Toth is really on the road to recovery. It sure is nice to have her back bowling. She wants to thank all those who remem­bered her with cards and calls. Get well wishes go to Mary Kato who recently underwent major heart surgery. I hope that by now she is feeling much better. Ladies Auxiliary meetings are scheduled to resume March 15 at 7:00 p.m. The ladies meet on the third Monday of every month. Our next regular branch meet­ing will be held Monday, March 1, at 7:00 p.m. It would be gratifying to see another great turnout. Happy 50-something, Tommy. I love you. Branch 27 Toledo, OH By Mary Ivancso Branch 27 Coordinator In the January issue of the Wil­liam Penn Life, I reported on the athletic and scholastic achieve­ments of Stephanie Large. Now, congratulations are in order for her parents, Larry and Kathy Large, both Branch 27 members, who won $ 14 million in the Ohio State Lottery in January. Con­gratulations, Larry and Kathy. The 50th annual national bowl­ing tournament will be held May 28 to 30 in Pittsburgh. Let’s form our teams early and make this a memorable tournament. Branch 27 will hold a very important bowling meeting on April 4 at 2026 Consaul St. Branch President Robert Ivancso is asking that those who intend to bowl in the national tournament attend. Our grandson, Ronald Reeder Jr., bowled a perfect 300 game in the "Nine is Fine” singles tourn­ament at Miracle Lanes. He also scored games of 278 and 223 for an actual total of 801 (861 with his handicap added). Nice shoot­ing, Ron. I spoke with John and Agnes Mokri. They tell me that they spent 10 days in Washington and were there for the inauguration of President Clinton. Mitzi King visited her daughter Rosalie and family in Alaska over the Christmas holiday. Now, I hear that Mitzi retired from the Family Court Center after more than 30 years of service. Nice work, Mitzi. Enjoy your retire­ment. Received post cards from Frank and Gizi Csiszár. They are spending the winter months in Florida, as are Fritz and Mary Szollosi. Barbara and Tom House and Krisztina vacationed in Flor­ida, too. Get well wishes to Margie Ju­hász and Andy Fey es.
