The officers and members of Branch 14 are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to be the local hosts for the WPA Annual Bowling Tournament Memorial Day weekend.

At the branch meeting held April 12, our branch decided to buy prizes for the banquet Saturday evening. The branch will also provide delicious Hungarian pastries at the welcome reception Friday evening and kolbász sandwiches at the bowling lanes Saturday.

The next branch meeting will be held Wednesday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills, Ohio. All Branch 14 members are welcome to attend and help make plans for the upcoming bowling tournament.
