Branch News sun. The groundhog has told us that Spring is right around the corner, so hang in there. Think Spring. Many thanks to all who sent me congratulations and good wishes on becoming Chair of the WPA Board of Directors. I promise to give it my all and do the best job I can. I have always put our members and their welfare first, and I always will. As I write this I am scheduled to fly to Detroit tomorrow to attend the Hungarian Arts Club's Feher Rozsa Bál (White Rose Ball). This is always such a wonderful event. If you have a teenage daughter who would like to be a debutante, now is the time to plan to take part in the 2012 event. It is a memory that will last a lifetime. Call me for information. Get well wishes to Deac Sabo, A1 and Olga Wansa, Ann and Steve Nagy, Clara Varga, Helen Sryniawski and Tillie Balogh. Get well soon. Remember in your prayers our deceased members and their families, especially Margaret E. Cady. May she rest in peace. Branch 18 continues to support Basil's Buddies. We collect food and monetary donations for people who can't afford to feed their pets. You may bring your donations to our next member meeting on April 18. We meet at 7:00 p.m. at the Hungarian Reformed Church on Allen Road in Allen Park. I'm looking forward to getting back on schedule. I've missed seeing you. We have a full year of activities planned. We hope you plan to join us and participate. We are also working on our 50- year member banquet, to be held in conjunction with the 125th anniversary of William Penn Association and the 105th anniversary of Branch 18. This event will be held on June 18. Special invitations will be mailed to our 50-year honorees. Call me for information. My cell number is 313- 418-5572. My number in Florida is 321-752-0375.1 am always available to you. Plan to take part in your branch delegate elections. We value your participation and your suggestions. We couldn't do all we do without you. Special prayers and love to Jason Wolfe, our grandson, who is leaving for the Navy at the end of March. Enjoy the rest of the winter as much as you can. Stay warm and stay healthy. Believe it or not, soon we'll be wishing for cooler weather. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Hoping for the sunny days of spring to appear soon. I am sure everyone has had enough of the winter siege this past season. Congratulations to the WPA on its 125th anniversary of fraternalism and fellowship while providing wonderful insurance opportunities. We look forward to the special Gala planned for Sept. 3. Branch 28 wishes the new Chair of the WPA Board, Barbara House, much success with this great honor. We know she'll do a wonderful job. Best wishes always. The Youngstown American Hungarian Federation will once again be hosting a program to commemorate the events of the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence. The event will be held on Sunday, March 13, at 2:30 p.m. at the Youngstown American Flungarian Club, 2219 Donald Ave. The program will include two guest speakers, musical and dance performances and poetry recitations. Working on the theory that it's never too early to plan ahead, Branch 28 is planning to host a bus trip to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 17. Several travelers from prior years have already inquired about the trip, so, if you are interested in joining us, call Steve Novak at 330-746-7704 or Frank Schauer at 330-549-2935. Best wishes to all those celebrating a birthday or anniversary this month. Get well wishes to Frank Tobias, Betty Check, Pam Beers, Irma Polgar and Irene Devlin. We extend our sincere condolences to those who recently lost a loved one. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Andy McNelis I certainly hope that the groundhog is right. We can't wait for winter to be over. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. The White Rose Ball in Michigan was beautiful. It was nice to see so many beautiful young women and handsome young men participating in this event again. Thanks to everyone for the enjoyable time, especially since we didn't have to come home to snow. Thanks, Helen, for the shopping. The Rhapsody dinner was delicious as usual. A special "Happy Birthday" to branch members Mitzi Berei, Carm DeBlasio and Becky Williams. May you have many more. Birthday wishes go out to all branch members celebrating their birthdays. We hope that you all are happy and healthy. Special get well wishes go out to Joe Berei. Take care of yourself. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone that is experiencing health issues.
