Branch 590 member Betty Bartus and her husband Steve celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Oct. 6 Branch 51 Passaic, NJ By Arthur Barillo Branch 51 President With summer long gone and Thanksgiving just around the cor­ner, it is hard to believe that the holiday season will be with us soon. It seems as if it were yester­day that we were complaining about those hot July days. At our recent branch meeting the officers finalized plans for our branch’s annual family Christmas party and annual elec­tion of officers. Both events will be held on Sunday, Dec. 4, at the American- Hungarian Citizens Club, 21 New Schley St., Garfield, N.J. The election of officers will be held at 2:00 p.m., and the party will begin at 3:00 p.m. The party will feature enter­tainment, refreshments and a visit from Santa Claus. So, children, bring your parents, brothers, sis­ters, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles to our Christmas par­ty. Like we said: it’s a family Christmas party. On behalf of all the branch officers and members, we wish everyone a very happy and boun­tiful Thanksgiving holiday. Anyone needing directions to the club should call (201) 471- 9852 after 6:00 p.m. Branch 249 Dayton, OH By Anne Marie Schmidt Branch 249 Secretary-Treasurer We returned to our schedule of regular monthly meetings on Oct. 8. It was great to see every­one and to catch up on the news of the summer. We are happy to have Branch President Steve Hor­vath active again. Dayton was well represented at the Association’s annual bowl­ing tournament held in New Jer­sey in May. Congratulations to all the winners. Everyone had a fun time, and we look forward to next year’s tournament. Mrs. Kertesz announced that she enjoyed a wonderful trip to Hungary with the William Penn. She expressed her sincere appreci­ation and was honored to join Board Chairman Joseph P. Arvay in placing a wreath on the tomb of Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty in Esztergom. Our prayers are extended to all of our members who have been ill during the summer and to the families of those who have de­parted. Barney Kinder is now in a nursing home, and we send him our sincerest regards. Local bowling resumed Oct. 16 at Capri Lanes.

Branch 349 Weirton, WV Louis A. Fodor, a member of the William Penn Board of Directors, and Chester Grossi of the Italian Sons and Daughters of America, both of Weirton, attended the 1994 meeting of the West Vir­ginia Fraternal Congress held Oct. 13 to 15 at the Ramada Inn in Morgantown, W.Va. The congress brings together fraternalists from all walks of life, from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds, and from a myriad of trades, crafts and guilds in an effort to share ideas of how to better serve their membership and communities. The congress also held con­tinuing education classes during which both Mr. Fodor and Mr. Grossi earned six of the 24 hours of instruction required by the West Virginia Insurance Depart­ment. Mr. Fodor is an honorary presi­dent of the West Virginia Frater­nal Congress. The congress’ 1994 fraternal project is a continuation of its financial support for a home­­building venture sponsored by Habitat for Humanity. Wayne Graham, executive vice president of the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society and a director of the National Fraternal Congress of America, delivered the congressional address. Branch 590 Cape Coral, FL By Joan Mauerman Branch 590 Treasurer Guests of honor at our October meeting at the Egret Hall in Cape Coral were Betty and Steve Bartus who celebrated their 60th wed­ding anniversary on Oct. 6. A fall floral arrangement and card signed by all in attendance were presented to them. The hall and table decorations reflected a Halloween theme, complete with dolls dressed as a witch and batwoman, compli­ments of Joan Mauerman. Tentative plans were discussed for a trip to see "Fiddler on the Roof” in February at the Palm Harbor Dinner Theater in Fort Myers.
