Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Wishing a most blessed Christmas season to all. Branch 28's annual family Christ­mas party will be held Saturday, Dec. 2, thanks, in part, to the wonderful financial support and items for distribution from the Home Office. Details of this event, along with the names of the winners of our holiday scholarship raffle, will be in the January issue. We thank the Home Office for all of its support and generosity as well as for allowing the branches to host such wonderful fraternal gatherings for members of all ages to enjoy. Our branch presented several Holiday Baskets and gift certificates to several local families and chari­table organizations during the holiday season. This was made possible through the support of the Home Office and contributions from our branch. We wish the best of luck to all the new WPA scholarship recipients. It was especially nice to see the thoughts on fratemalism written by Branch 28 member Caitlin Tarcy. It's so nice to see Alex Fodor, Mary Rose Purton, Evelyn Horvath and Helen Dinda back in circulation again after their extended recupera­tion from recent surgery. Get well wishes go out to Brother Reginald Antal, Irene Devlin, Irene Tomory, Frank Tobias and Mrs. Badvary. We also extend special get well wishes to Maria Valley who recently underwent a kidney transplant at the Cleveland University Hospital. A number of Branch 28 members enjoyed a bit of celebrity recently after they were interviewed by many local publications for stories about the 50th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. A big thank you goes out to Endre Csornán and his committee for arranging the gala celebration held at Penn Scenic View to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the revolution. Our own Frank and Mary Schauer were responsible for creating the Branch News lovely booklet distributed at the gala honoring this great part of our Hungarian history. Great job! A very special note of thanks goes to Frank Schauer and the Young­stown American Hungarian Federa­tion for arranging and sponsoring the bus trip allowing Youngstowners to attend the gala celebration. At our November branch meeting we acknowledged the 50-year mem­bers of our branch with a special dinner meeting. Happy retirement to Helen Werling of the Home Office staff, and con­gratulations to Dora McKinsey who was recently named secretary to the National President. With all the holiday festivities taking place, we can't forget to send special greetings to all those celebrat­ing a birthday or anniversary this month. Enjoy your special day. The loss of a loved one is always hard to accept, but especially so during the holiday season. We offer our sincere sympathy and prayers to all those who recently experienced the loss of a loved one. May this joyous season and the forthcoming new year bring us all good health, happiness and many blessings. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis Sorry that it has been quite some time since we have had an article, but I haven't received any news from our branch members to share. Please call me if you have any news, and I will be more than happy to share it with everyone. Well, the summer is officially over after the Penn Scenic View picnic is held. As in the past, it was great! Many, many thanks to all of the volunteers, the Home Office and last, but certainly not least (couldn't do it without you) Endré. It's always great to see our friends from Magyar Park and around the country.
