Branch News Members of Branch 18 who attended the recent White Rose Ball in Michigan. Branch 8 Johnstown, PA by Dorothy Kedves Spring had finally decided to give us a day with sunshine. The flowering trees are absolutely beautiful, with vibrant colors of pink, white and purple. The dark hillsides are now turning green. It is such a beautiful time of the year. Our meeting this month was held May lwith the pleasure of having Endre Csornán, national vice president-fraternal, and his lovely wife Arlene as guests. Endre discussed upcoming WPA events: the annual golf tournament in July and the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest in September. A special committee meeting was held May 24 at Penn Scenic View for suggestions and comments for the picnic. For Join Hands Day, members of Branch 8 decorated St. Emerich Cemetery in Johnstown by adding two large urns with flowers along side the entrance stone of the cemetery. The cemetery is located off Edgewood and Keiser Street and is quite large and is well maintained. Also in the cemetery is a small stone chapel with the original cross and two long benches and two Sanctuary lamps (candles) from the church for prayer and meditation. St. Emerich Church was founded in 1913 and was taken down in 2003. Members are now associated with St. Casmir-St. Emerich's church. With the month of June fast approaching, we want to congratulate all members who will graduate and wish them the best of luck in their new adventures. On June 17 we wish happy Fathers Day to all fathers, grandfathers and godfathers. We welcome Alexis Yuhas Kozak (Sándor Yuhas' sister) as our new branch coordinator. Alexis will be available to help all members with life insurance and annuities. We also welcome David M. Kozak and David J. Kozak as new members. Plans are in the works to have a Branch 8 bacon roast and picnic this summer. Members who are interested can call Ernest Kedves at 814-479- 7502 or Alexis Kozak at 814-255- 5286. For all your life insurance and annuity needs please call Alexis Kozak at 814-255- 5286. Branch 14 _ Cleveland, OH by Dawn D. Ward Even though Branch 14 meetings are in summer recess, branch members continue to do philanthropic deeds. The branch participated in Join Hands Day Saturday, May 3rd by delivering approximately $1,500 worth of toys to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital. We hope the new toys will brighten the days of these critically ill children. We were all saddened by the death of Vera Levi, wife of Branch 14 Vice- President Tom Levi. Vera was very active in the branch, and she loved attending the picnics at Penn Scenic View because of her love of Hungarian music. Everyone at Branch 14 who knew her will miss her vivacious personality and beautiful smile. Our sympathy goes out to her family. Branch 14 welcomes the following new members: Parker Doan, Christopher Doan, Emily Graven, Jayne Growley, Kristyn Mulhall and Matthew Mulhall. Call the Ward Agency at 440-838-1200 with the names of any potential new members and earn Recommender Bucks. Have a safe and enjoyable summer. The next Branch 14 meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bethlen Hall of the First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills, Ohio. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Spring has finally sprung. We thought it was never going to get here, but it has. I hope you are all having super weather also. I hope the weather is still beautiful on June 7 at 9:00 a.m. That is when we will participate in our annual Join Hands Day project. Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us at St. Francis Xavier at 4250 W. Jefferson. That is just one block north of Southfield. Refreshments will be served. We will have 50 flats of flowers to put in. Many hands will make very quick work. June 7 and 8 are also the days of the Holy Cross Hungarian Festival at the Yack Center in Wyandotte. Hope to see you there. Remember: the Hungarian American Cultural Center is open every Friday and Sunday for dinner. Happy 22nd wedding anniversary to Irene and Rudy Korpák. Happy 62nd wedding anniversary to A1 and Olga Wansa. Hope you all have many more. You are all sent such love. 14 William Penn Life, June 2008
