Branch News basis. Contact Branch 14 Coordina­tor Violet Sarosi at 440-248-9012 to check on available space. It has been a sad time for many WPA officers, employees and mem­bers. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to:- National Vice President-Sec­retary Richard W. Toth and Home Office employee John Toth on the passing of their mother, Elaine Toth;- National Director Dennis A. Chobody and the Chobody fam­ily on the passing of Dennis' sister Sylvia A. Smith;- Retired Home Office employee Gerry Davenport on the passing of her husband, Glenn Davenport; and- The family of Branch 59 Presi­dent/Coordinator Shirley A. Rakoc­­zy-Przywara whom I met on my first WPA trip to Hungary in 2008. May they rest in peace, and may God bless and keep their families in his loving care. As we wind down our very hot summer on the North Coast, many branch families are preparing for the new school year. Whether it's the first day of school for a five-year old or the senior year for a college stu­dent, the year is usually filled with anticipation and promise. Good luck to all our future leaders who are still in school. WPA has always supported its members' academic pursuits, and this year is no different. Our Schol­arship Foundation has very gener­ously approved grants for a number of Branch 14 members. First-time recipients who have already submitted their require­ments are Kelly Klecan, Michael Lott, Nathan Polgar, August Scarpelli and Joseph Zupán. Scholarship renewal recipients include Kevin Corrigan-Mook, Gerald Hiteman, Maranda Keeney, Amy Koehler, Tiffany Kovach, Irene Moeller, Victoria Polgar, Hannah Rohrer, Taylor Üveges, James Wher­­ley, Tess Wright, and Brian Haynes. We will have more to report next month as soon as remaining poten­tial recipients submit their outstand­ing required documents. Congratulations to all of the re­cipients. These young adults are the future of our organization, and we are proud to have them as members. After summer recess, our next branch meeting will be held Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bethlen Hall of the First Hungar­ian Reformed Church, located at 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills. All adult members are welcome and encouraged to attend. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Summer is almost over. I know many of us are very happy. This one has been a scorcher. Think of fall and sweaters. I can't wait. Something else I can't wait for is our annual Hungarian Picnic. I am looking forward to seeing all of you. I hope you have us on your schedule. Our bus will have 34 overnight at­tendees. My brother Joe and his wife Wanda are coming from Mississippi to be on our bus. Hmmm. What can we do to initiate them? I'm sure I'll think of something. We promise you the time of your life. Later in the month, some of us lucky ones are going to Europe. We didn't go last year, and I was so sorry. This year we are visiting Prague as well as Hungary. I'm told Prague is as lovely as Hungary. I'll let you know, but I doubt it. We are so looking forward to this trip and seeing old and new friends. Branch 18 will resume our meet­ings on Sept. 5, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hungarian American Cultural Cen­ter on Goddard Road. We welcome your input for our "Charities of the Month" and future trips. Please plan on joining us. Branch 18 will sponsor an over­night junket to Soaring Eagle on Oct. 15 and 16. Cost per attendee is $75. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you would like to join us. Our annual family Christmas party will be held Nov. 25 at a new location. Watch your mail and fu­ture branch articles for more infor­mation. Congratulations to all our schol­arship winners. You all make us so proud. Among the recipients selected this year from Branch 18 are Jacob Atnip, Ashley Haas, Samantha Jackson, and Kyle Molnár. We are looking forward to all the wonder­ful things you are going to do and report back to me, so that I can share them with all our members. Good luck! Our prayers and love go with you. Happy birthday to E.E. (Al) Vargo, Bishop Wolfe, Toni Garafalo, Kathy Novak, Mrs. Judit Borsay, Chef Béla (Bill Vasvary), Krista Broderick and Wanda Gall. Happy anniversary to Jason and Kristin Wolfe. You are all such special people. May you all celebrate many more. Get well Art Antal, Julius (Deac) Sabo and Emma Poliska. Get well real soon. A special WPA welcome to Ann Morich. Great to have you on our team. Okay, Bob, you're next. Remember all our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially Margaret Mada­ras. May they rest in peace. WPA was well represented at the Kalman Balogh Trio concert at the Rhapsody Restaurant. This was one of the very best groups we have ever heard. The meal, as usual, was super. If this trio will be in your area, be sure to see them. You will be so glad you did. Remember the annual pig roast at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Sept. 15. This is always a fun event. The Hungarian Arts Club White Rose Ball will be held on Feb. 2, 2013. The Club is searching for girls of Hungarian descent to be debutantes. Male escorts are also needed. WPA National Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán will be the guest of honor. Call Linda Enyedi for more information at 248-352-0927. If you ever find yourself feeling a little down or discouraged, re­member this: just when the caterpil­lar thought her life was over, she became a butterfly. Tommy and I have an anniver­sary this month. We are thrilled to be celebrating it in Europe on Sept. 24. Happy 46th (OMG!) anniversary, Tommy, and much love. Have a wonderful month. If you need me for anything, you only have to call me at either 313-418-5572 or 734-782-4667. William Penn Life 0 September 2012 0 23
