Branch 8 Johnstown, PA by Dorothy Kedves On Dec. 1, Branch 8 held its annual Christmas party at the United Church of Christ. Prior to the party, the annual election of officers was held. Elected were: Sándor J. Yuhas, president; Ernest W. Kedves, vice president; David S. Kozak, treasurer; Dorothy Kedves, secretary; and Mary Groshans and Elaine Engle, auditors. The party began with the arrival of Santa Claus, and the children were so excited. Santa listened to their requests and played games with the children. Christmas music was played by Ernest Kedves. A delicious lunch was served, and everyone enjoyed the gift bags, especially the slinkies and red bags. Again, we want to thank the Home Office for the special gifts and calendars that everyone looks forward to receiving. We wish all our members and families a happy new year.
