Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Happy spring! It's so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors again. Youngstown Hungarians gathered on March 13 to commemorate the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence at a special event hosted by the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation. As always, it was a well-attended and enjoyable program. For Branch 28's Join Hands Day project, our members decided to support the Youngstown Cityscape event. On Saturday, June 4, volunteers will gather to clean up designated areas throughout the city and plant flowers. A reminder to our travelers: Call Steve Novak at 330-746-7704 or Frank Schauer at 330-549-2935 for more information about and reservations for our trip to the WPA Picnic - A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 17 at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. Plans are in the works for Branch 28's dinner celebration to commemorate William Penn Association's 125th anniversary. Our branch's dinner is scheduled to be held in October, so watch future branch articles in William Penn Life for more information. Best wishes to everyone celebrating either a birthday or anniversary this month. Many blessings for a great day. We hope everyone remembers their mother as we celebrate Mother's Day this month. Our deepest sympathy to all those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Take a moment to reflect on the fallen heroes of our country on Memorial Day this month. We continually take our freedom for granted, and it is important that we remember the sacrifices so many men and women have made so we can enjoy our freedom. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Kathy at 330-746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis The past winter seemed as if it just wouldn't go away. Spring supposedly has sprung, but it couldn't have happened soon enough. Hope that everyone had a blessed Easter. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harms way. I would like to personally thank William Penn Association for being a sponsor of the Steel City Classic DanceSport competition March 26. My niece and Branch 34 member, Gábriellé Kelley, participated in the competition (see photo on Page 23). She and her partner, Zach, won first place in the Open 4 Dance segmentfor Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Jive and also first place in Gold Paso Doble, Jive and Cha Cha. Way to go guys! Gábriellé is also president of the student council, is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and is a varsity cheerleader. Keep up the great work, Gábriellé. Your family is very proud of you. Congratulations and best wishes go out to Joe and Mitzi Berei as they celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. God bless.
