For more information about the picnic, call the Home Office at 1-800- 848-7366, ext. 136. It will be a good time. The Philadelphia Hungarian Club had an unusually large turnout for its Memorial Day celebration. The program was directed by Tibor Pavianski from the Hero Monument in front of the club. The monument honors heroes from America's wars, from the Revolution to the present day. Our thanks to all the ladies who baked their popular retes and sutemeny. The Club has been sold, but there are plans to continue our activities in another location after the transfer of ownership. We hope that all those who enjoy Hungarian food, music and culture will continue to support the Club's activities. We want to welcome back Gyöngyi Harta and Aranka Mezei from their trips to Hungary. We also want to wish a happy birthday to Kalman Fogarasi, to Gyöngyi Harta's father, and to all those who are celebrating birthdays this month. Congratulations to all those successful students, especially those who are graduating. A special "hello" goes out to Kady and Shirley DeMaria. We want to welcome Armand and Laura DeVoe back from their winter in Florida. We hope you will have an enjoyable summer at the New Jersey shore.

Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Congratulations to Luke Edward Kantoski, this year's recipient of Branch 800's annual monetary award. This award is given to the graduating male senior student who earns the highest grades in religion class at Bishop Guilfoyle High School in Altoona. Luke is the son of James and Kathryn Kantoski of Altoona. Along with our branch award, Luke also received the Lucy Zangrilli Burns Memorial Award and the Nocti Governor Certificate. Bishop Guilfoyle High School forwarded Luke's name to our branch secretary in a letter announcing the selection of the winner. The school is very appreciative of our branch's sponsorship of this annual award. Luke is a member of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona where he was an altar server and member of the choir and scouts. He completed his elementary education at the Cathedral and St. Mary's. Graduation ceremonies were held May 23 at the Cathedral, with the Most Rev. Joseph V. Adamec, bishop of the Altoona/Johnstown Diocese, as celebrant. Outside of school, Luke enjoys weightlifting, camping, fishing, volleyball, watching Altoona Curve baseball games, delivering the Altoona Mirror, working with computers and repairing electronic problems. Luke will begin classes this fall at Penn State University/ Altoona, where he will major in electrical engineering. Best of luck to all graduating seniors.
