House National Director Good luck to all of you who have signed up for the bowling tourna­ment. I was tickled pink with the wonderful response. Looking for­ward to seeing all these wonderful familiar faces. Tom House was the guest of honor at a very special birthday party. No, I can’t say which one. Thank you to all who helped make this a special event. Rose Antal recently returned from Hungary. She had a marvel­ous time. She sure gave me the yen to go. Remember, WPA is sponsor­ing trips to Hungary this year. Call for information. Please remember in your prayers the families of Anna Bianchi, Ida Kanyo and Mary Kato. Ida Kanyo and Mary Kato were two very spe­cial women to me. I’ve known and loved them all my life. Rest in peace. You will be deeply missed. A special WPA welcome to new members Anthony Ladd, Rose, Zsuzann and Tibor Tuske. (A very special family) Welcome, also, to Jason Cassar, grandson of Rose Antal and Richard Miastkowski.

Darago Branch 44 President The 1997 family holiday party was a merry success! Sixty-eight mem­bers attended and enjoyed the WPA fratemalism. Members as young as 6 months and as young-at-heart as 87 years laughed, ate, partied, met Santa and received gifts (junior members) or door prizes of poin­­settias (adult members). The Home Office handouts were especially popular with all mem­bers. I believe I saw a low-flying wooden airplane on final approach to the members’ tables. Santa and Rose the Elf distrib­uted junior photos with Santa from the 1996 holiday party, as well as the wonderful gifts to the junior members at this year’s party. Who was that bearded Santa who “ho­­ho-ho’d” to the delight of the whole restaurant? Could it have been au­ditor Alex Darago? We’re not tell­ing. Holiday baskets were distributed to three needy families and organi­zations. One senior citizen remains in the hospital/rehab center after a major heart attack in December. When she returns home, a basket will be waiting. One basket was delivered to a man who was para­lyzed from the neck-down in a drive-by shooting in 1995. He was an innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time. A third, extremely large basket was taken to the Battered Women’s Shelter, a non-profit agency providing tem­porary shelter to abused women and their children. Thanks to all members and the Home Office who made these gifts of the “food of life” available to the food basket recipients. In 1997, Branch 44 also partici­pated in the “Adopt-a-Nun” project through which retired nuns at a mother house filled out a five-item request sheet. These “handmaidens of the Lord” were so excited that someone thought of them at holi­day time. Their lists were so poi­gnant: tissues, face cream, cookies, greeting cards, toothpaste, colored pens, a bow for the door of a nun in the nursing wing. Branch 44 adopted five nuns. The nuns that were able to wrote thank you notes. Our members are on the prayer lists of these nuns. This year has been mild so far. El Nino has not adversely affected Ohio. We’ve had really warm tem­peratures. The spring flowers have begun to bloom and the birds are twittering their romantic chirps. Here’s our 1998 calendar of events. All activities will be held at 1643 - 13th St. SW, Akron (Phone 753-5270) unless otherwise noted. directions or jv$t want to chat.
