Branch News Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Wishing a blessed Easter to everyone and a wonderful spring season. We really hope old man winter is ready to hibernate until next winter. In keeping with tradition, the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation hosted a very nice program commemorating the 1848 War of Independence. The program included a recitation of the poem, "Nemzeti Dal," a presentation in English and Hungarian by Leslie Polgar Sr. and music provided by Andrew Check and Joseph Locsancy. The Youngstown Hungarian Dance Group also performed, under the guidance of instructor Paula Horvath. I had the honor and pleasure of serving as emcee for the afternoon. Following the program, a social was held featuring Hungarian pastries. We are so looking forward to helping WPA celebrate its 125th anniversary. It is so wonderful to be a part of this dedicated fraternal insurance association. Get well wishes go out to all those recuperating, especially National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán, John Panigall, Steve Novak, Mary Foor, Julius Fedor, Irma Polgar, Frank Tobias and Frank Schauer. Best wishes to everyone celebrating a birthday or anniversary this month. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one. May they rest in peace. Changes are taking place within the Catholic Church, and Youngstown's Hungarian churches will not be excluded from change. St. Stephen of Hungary, Our Lady of Hungary and Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Churches will be merging. Worship sites have not been changed as of yet. But, the parishes have been meeting and hosting joint social events. A Mardi Gras mixer was held and provided a most enjoyable afternoon of food, fun, music and fraternalism.

I think everybody from around here is ready for spring. If the weatherman is right, we might get some warm days soon. St. Patrick's Day is over. Did anyone find their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Everyone came to the Penn in their green to celebrate. The band was very good, and the food was, too. Brenda and Terry Court just celebrated an anniversary with us. Cake and pizza were served. Terry even sang for his lady. Jim and Sharon's wedding was a grand affair. The bride was beautiful, and the groom was very lucky to finally tie the knot. They have been married for a month now, and she hasn't hurt him yet. Our steak and fish fry is going very well. We have only two more until summer break. The steaks were very good last month. Easter is coming soon. We hope everyone has a good holiday and enjoys lots of food and good company. We also hope every little child gets to go look for some Easter eggs. That was always fun for my grandkids. Happy birthday to all our members celebrating their day this month. Get well wishes go out to all who are feeling sick. To all our branch members: have a very nice Easter. Stay happy and healthy and take the time to share a smile with someone. © Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Patty Balia Branch 296 will host a special meeting on Thursday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m., at King's Family Restaurant in New Kensington. This will be the Delegate District Election meeting during which we will elect two delegates and two alternate delegates to represent our branch at the WPA's 37th General Convention. We encourage all those eligible to participate in this election to please join us for this important meeting. The big fraternal event for the month of May is Join Hands Day. We are asking our fellow branch members to get out and lend a hand to those in their community who need some assistance. Give of yourself. Make it a family event. Represent our fraternal association. You CAN make a difference. Congratulations to Jimmy Charles, grandson of Irene Charles, who is engaged to be married to Katrina Fajbik on June 4. We wish the happy couple all the best. Our condolences to Mary Ann Kelly-Lovasz, her husband John and family on the passing of her father, Joseph Kelly. Thank you to Branch 18 and its officers and members for hosting a beautiful dinner for WPA members attending the White Rose Ball. Your hospitality makes us want to visit more often. Congratulations and best wishes to Helen and Boris Gosciejew on their 56th wedding anniversary. Helen is 84 and Boris is 86. We send out special blessings and get well wishes to National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF, at 412-821-1837.
