Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially Olga Burinda, Alexander Toth and Andrew Boonie. May they rest in peace. Get well to some wonderful members, including Rocky Borsa, Emma Borsa, Liz Piwowarski, A1 Wansa and Mike Wansa. Get well. Hello, András Breznai. Hope you are well. Think Spring. It really is just around the corner. Call me anytime for answers to your questions about your WPA business. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak What a special March this will be as we celebrate both St. Patrick's Day and the joyous Easter season. Hoping everyone enjoys the spring weather we've all been waiting for. The Youngstown American Hungarian Federation will once again be hosting a program commemorating the events of the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence. It will be held Sunday, March 13, at 2:30 p.m. at the Youngstown Hungarian Club, 2219 Donald Ave. Just as a reminder: If any of our readers have a connection to the parish of St. Stephen of Hungary in Youngstown, I'd like to let you know that they will be celebrating their 100th anniversary on Sunday, Aug. 21 with a special Mass and banquet. More details will appear in future branch articles. If you would like to know more, please call the parish office at 330-743-1905 or me at 330- 746-7704. Branch 28 members are looking forward to the WPA golf tournament this year as Mountaineer is so close, making it possible for more members to attend and join in on all the fun. Keep in mind the Branch 28 bus trip to the annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest at Penn Scenic View on Sept. 10. If you're interested in traveling with us to the picnic, please call Frank at 330-549-2935 or Steve at 330-746-7704 to get your Branch News name on the list for notification of reservations. All those who traveled with us in the past will be contacted to see if they are interested in returning this year. Special get well wishes to Branch 28 Auditor Mary Schauer, Larry Santha, Eleanor Viano, John Morey, Helen Kovach, Irene Devlin and everyone else not feeling up to par. Many happy returns to the birthday and anniversary celebrants this month. Special wishes to the William Penn Association on its 119th anniversary of fratemalism and fellowship while providing wonderful insurance benefits. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of our recently departed members. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Alan Szabó at 330-482-9994 or me at 330-746-7704. May everyone have a blessed Easter season. Branch 76 Philadelphia, PA by Bette Lewis Tokár We hope that you are all recovering from any winter flu or other illness and are looking forward to the coming of spring. In Philadelphia, we have had unusually cold weather this winter, and spring will be extremely welcome. For those former Philadelphians who have moved south (maybe to Florida), we hope that you are enjoying the warmer weather and have recovered from any damage done by last year's hurricanes. We particularly think about Armand and Laura DeVoe, who had bought their home in Florida very shortly before it was destroyed by a hurricane. We understand that they are planning to rebuild this spring, and hope that all goes well for them. The Philadelphia Hungarian Club had its annual elections in January. The complete slate of officers will be detailed in the next branch article. The Magyar Otthon is planning a celebration of the 1848 revolution. It will be held Saturday, March 12, at the club. Please call the club for further information and to make your reservations. We hope that all those who are celebrating birthdays this month are enjoying good health and are looking forward to another year. We wish you all the best. We are interested in hearing from all Branch 76 members. Have you celebrated a significant event, such as a major birthday, marriage or family addition? Let us know and we will publish your news so that all our members can share in it. Address your news to Jack and Bette Tokár, 153 Pinehill Road, Feasterville, PA 19053-7809. If there is any way that we can help you with life insurance or annuities, please give us a call at 215-357-4516. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Anne Marie Schmidt Congratulations and happy anniversary to the William Penn Association as it celebrates 119 years of fraternalism. How proud we all are to be members of such a fine and upstanding organization. May we prosper for many years to come! Our monthly bowling at Pla-Mor Lanes was off to a great start in January with numerous bowlers participating. It's not too late to join us and to get some practice balls in before the Annual Bowling Tournament. We meet on the second Sunday of each month at 3:00 p.m. The cost is $7.50 for three games. Plans are underway for the Annual Bowling Tournament to be held in Michigan. We have a bus reserved, but need firm commitments from more riders to justify the cost. Either way, we'll be there with several teams. We look forward to socializing with our many friends from other branches. If you are interested in attending, or need more information, please call me at 937-667-1211. Our next cabbage roll sale will be held on March 17 at St. Stephen's Church Hall. The cost is $1.50 per roll. Please place your orders as soon as possible with Michele LaFlame at 937-278-5970, Anne Kertesz at 937-William Penn Life, March 2005 17
