Branch 132 South Bend, IN by the Branch 132 Officers The officers of WPA Branch 132 wish all our members and their families a happy, healthy Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for, espe­cially family and friends. Our Lady of Hungary Catholic Church was filled with parishioners and friends for the recent installa­tion of the church's new pastor, the Rev. Kevin Bauman. More than 200 people were in attendance as Monsignor Michael Heintz installed Father Bauman, who was appointed to serve by the Most. Rev. Kevin Rhoads, bishop of the Fort Wayne- South Bend Diocese. Father Bauman graduated from Our Lady of Hun­gary grade school in the summer of 1974. The WPA Branch 132 children's Christmas party will be held on Sun­day, Dec. 4, at 3:00 p.m. at Barnaby's Restaurant, 713 E. Jefferson Blvd., South Bend. If you plan to attend, please call Anna Horvath at 232-9451 and let her know how many will be attending. Our branch meetings will be changed to the first Tuesday of the month and will begin at 6:30 p.m. The meetings will be held at the Martin's Supermarket Café on Ireland Road. During our December meeting, we will be electing branch officers for the coming year. Please plan on attending this important meeting. Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora McKinsey Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It's hard to believe that the holidays are upon us. Time certainly moves quickly, too quickly for me. November is the month when we are reminded to give thanks for all that God has given us. I am espe­cially thankful for my family and the close bond we have. I thank God every day for the good health we all enjoy and pray that it continues. My prayer is that all of us stay healthy especially now that cold and flu season is starting. We also celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11. Let us remember those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Remember to thank a veteran for his or her service to our country. Branch 352 will be holding its Christmas party for branch juvenile members on Sunday, Nov. 20, at Sports Haven Bowling in Bridgeville, Pa., beginning at noon. All juvenile members should try to attend and enjoy a day of bowling fun. We are also conducting a food drive as we have done in the past. Please be generous in donating non-perishable food items for the local food bank. Your help is much appreciated. Happy Birthday to all those who are celebrating a birthday this month. May you be blessed with many more and may all of them be healthy. If you have any news to report or need help with any insurance questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 412-319-7116 or email at dmckinsey@hotmail.com. Branch 525 Los Angeles, CA by Sarika Gotz On Sept. 2 my granddaughter and I flew to Pittsburgh for WPA's 125th Anniversary Gala and the General Convention. We were the two dele­gates from Branch 525. On Saturday evening, we at­tended the 125th Anniversary Gala. It was great seeing so many friends and being with Ilona and Paul Mar­tincsek. Ilona cooks for the Hungar­ian Heritage Experience at Scenic View, and Paul used to work with my husband. We have been friends since 1959 when we lived in Hazel­wood. Also at our table were good friends Barbara and Bob Kapinus. Barb and I tried to learn Hungarian at the first Hungarian Language Camp at Scenic View. I am still learning. Maybe there is hope yet! I would like to congratulate all who worked on the DVD presenta­tion at the Gala. It was fantastic see­ing all the familiar faces from times past. A lot of those people are gone now, but it was as if they were there celebrating with us. On Monday, the Convention was called to order by Chair Barbara House. She did an excellent job. Congratulations, Barbara. As I looked over all the delegates and officers, I realized so many of us are getting older. We really need to encourage the younger generation to get more involved in William Penn Association and our Hungarian heri­tage. I came back to California and had some great news: I am going to be a great-grandma. Speaking of getting old! Our branch Christmas party will be held on Sunday, Dec. 4, at the Bloomington Hungarian Club. Please contact me if you have any news to share or if you need help with your life insurance or annuities. You can reach me at 909-350-1620. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Americans are ready to enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving Day. The U.S. Department of Agriculture tells us that 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the U.S. at Thanksgiv­ing. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird? Happy holiday to all this Thanksgiving Day. Keep in mind our branch's 74th annual memorial Mass for our deceased members. It will be cel­ebrated on Thanksgiving Day at 8:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Altoona. Hope to see you William Penn Life 0 November 2011 0 21
