Hey, Bob and Debbie Jackson, it's a perfect place to vacation with the family. It's been a while since you joined us. Remember Memorial Day. Thank a vet for your freedom. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Spring has sprung with an overabundance of rain, but that doesn't dampen the plans in progress for the summer picnics. Two days to keep in mind for enjoying good Hungarian food and music are Sunday, July 22, for the summer gathering at St. Stephen of Hungary Church, 854 Wilson Ave., and Sunday, Aug. 12, for the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation's annual Hungarian Day at 2219 Donald Ave. We're glad to report that a fairly good response allowed us to rent a bus to travel to Ligonier, Pa., for the April 26 concert by the Partium University Choir. My sincere thanks to the Home Office and Board of Directors for their vote of confidence and support as they appointed me coordinator for Branch 28 beginning April 1.1 appreciate this opportunity and hope to be able to do a successful job. Congratulations and best wishes to all those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this month. Our thoughts and prayers are with all our members experiencing health problems.
