Köszönöm szépen

On behalf of the officers and members of Branch 249 Dayton, we were happy to welcome so many of our friends and fellow members to Dayton for the 55th Annual Bowling Tournament. Thank you to the Board of Directors for giving us the opportunity to host the tournament in Dayton, the birthplace of aviation. Thank you to the Home Office for its guidance and support in helping to accomplish our goal. A special thank you to our branch's spiritual leaders, Father Anthony Dattilo of St. Stephen Church and the Rev. Gabor Nitsch of the Hungarian Evangelical and Reformed Church, for taking time out of their busy schedules to join us at the dinner Saturday evening. It is greatly appreciated.

I also want to mention someone who has contributed her time to supervise our bowling league over the last several years: Debbie Miller. Thank you, Debbie. You deserve recognition for your time and effort.

Thank you to all the businesses which were so generous in donating door prizes. We hope those who won enjoy them.

I would like to give a whole-hearted thank you to those who helped make the cabbage rolls and pastries and arrange for our dinner music. Without their help we could not have been successful.

Finally, a special thank you to Anne Kertesz, our branch president, for keeping us on the right path.

Branch 249 Coordinator
