We celebrated the 125th anniversary of William Penn Association and the 108th anniversary of Branch 18 while honoring those branch members with 50 or more years of membership in our Association. First, I must thank the set-up people: Helen Molnár, Carol and Doug Truesdell, Rose Antal, Mike Oberg, Tom House, Mike and Loretta Adorján, Kay Momtsios, Amy Polakowski, Annie Kopicko, Pauline Kulcsár and Rose Wickers. What a great job you did. Our tables looked beautiful. Every table was named after a county in Hungary. Thank you, Karen Vance and Michele Daley-LaFlame, for making our beautiful favors. Thank you to Gerry Davenport for our invitations. Thank you to Tom House for our programs, prayer cards and table names. Thank you to the Rev. Barnabas Kiss for the lovely greetings, grace and blessings. Thank you to Pauline Kulcsár and Victoria Haas for tending bar. Thank you to Erzsi Krajcs and her crew who prepared and presented our wonderful dinner and scrumptious diós törte for dessert. Thank you to George Bátyi and his orchestra for the wonderful music. Thank you to National Vice President-Secretary Richard Toth, National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán and his wife Arlene, Vice Chair of the Board Bill Bero, National Director Charlie Johns, National Director Nick Kotik and his wife Shirley, and National Director Ron Balia and his wife Patty—you have always been strong supporters of anything Branch 18 has done. Bill also won our 50/50 raffle and handed his winnings to Rose Wickers as a donation to the Hungarian American Reformed Church. Thank you to all who donated to our raffle. We had such wonderful prizes. Thank you to Jim Robertson, Violet, Ernie and Richard Sarosi and Tibor, Mary Ann and Charlotte Deri for coming a distance to our event. Thank you to the officers of Branch 18 for the beautiful flowers. They lasted two weeks. As you can see, it takes a great deal of work and planning to have such a wonderful event. We can’t wait to plan and host the next one. Thank you to all who attended. William Penn people are the best. George Biltz Rose P.
