Think thoughts of spring. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak How wonderful it was to have National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán serve as the guest speaker at the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation's commemoration of the Hungarian 1848 War of Independence. As always, he spoke on several interesting subjects. Another familiar face participating in the program was Joseph Fabri who recited the famous poem, "Nemzeti Dal." Returning to this gathering to offer a speech in the Hungarian language was Kalman Molnár. Rounding out the program were: William Kolosi, who performed several folk songs on the guitar; Andrew Check, who performed traditional songs on the cimbalom; Joe Loscancy, who entertained the gathering with melodies on the keyboard; and the Hungarian dance group, who performed several dances. This event seems to offer more entertainment from performers of all ages to the pleasure of an everincreasing audience each year. Our heartfelt thanks are extended to all those who helped in any way with this event. This event is so important in maintaining our Hungarian culture and history. It's not too early to mark your calendars for more Hungarian events in the Youngstown area:- Sunday, Aug. 10, Magyar Nap sponsored by the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation;- Sunday, Sept. 7, Heritage Day sponsored by the Youngstown Flungarian Club; and- Saturday, Sept. 13, the WPA Branch 28 bus trip to the WPA Picnic- A Great Fraternal Fest at Penn Scenic View. Best wishes to all those celebrating birthdays this month and to all those marking another anniversary. Happy belated anniversary wishes to our own William Penn Association, which recently celebrated 122 years of fraternal service. Get well wishes to everyone not feeling up to par lately, especially Joe Taylor, Helen Kaluczky, Mary Rose Purton, Irene Tomory and Irene Devlin. We extend our sincere sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one, especially retired National Director Michael Tomcsak on the loss of his sister Veronica Weingart.
