2013-06-01 / 6. szám
Branch News try on Memorial Day. Please remember in your thoughts and prayers those currently serving in our armed forces and all veterans, as well. Well, April and May were certainly busy months at William Penn. On April 27, the Magyar Club of Dayton, Ohio, celebrated its 50th anniversary. I had the opportunity to attend the celebration with my parents, Violet and Ernie Sarosi, WPA Vice President-Fraternal Endre Csornán and his wife Arlene, and National Director Kathy Novak and her father, Steve Novak. We would like to thank the officers and members of The Magyar Club of Dayton for a wonderful night celebrating our Magyar heritage. The WPA bowling tournament was held on May 3 and 4 at the Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Washington, Pa. The Home Office did a great job organizing this event, and the increase in participants was tremendous. We hope to see even more bowlers next year. Branch 14 participated in Join Hands Day on Saturday, May 11. We supported the Hattie Larlham Foundation by purchasing two Hill- Rom Vest Airway Clearance Systems that can be used by residents with respiratory ailments. Hattie Larlham is a facility for severely handicapped children and young adults, located in Mantua, Ohio. It is so rewarding to know that our purchases can have an impact on someone who is facing difficulties with natural functions, such as breathing, that most of us take for granted. Hungarian Heritage Night at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio with the Lake Erie Captains takes place on Saturday, June 8. Ticket information will be announced soon. I wonder who will be throwing out the first pitch? Many more fraternal activities will be taking place in 2013 for our members to enjoy: • The 30th Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days, July 19 and 20 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa. See page 26 for information and a registration form. • The 75th Anniversary of the Cleveland Hungarian Cultural Garden, Saturday, July 20, 2013. • The 12th Annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest, Saturday, Sept. 7. Branch 14 will have a bus going from Cleveland to Rockwood, Pa. Seating on the bus is limited, so call Branch Coordinator Violet Sarosi at 1-440-248-9012 as soon as possible to reserve your seat. Please check William Penn Life for updates on all 2013 activities. Branch 14 would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the Yambor family on the recent passing of William B. Yambor and to those WPA members who have recently lost a loved one. We would like to send get well wishes to all Branch 14 members who might be feeling under the weather. We were happy to see Joan Parete at our May branch meeting. She is doing great. We would like to send get well wishes to the Rev. Peter Toth of the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Lorain, Ohio. Rev. Toth suffered severe injuries to his right arm in a tree trimming accident. He has undergone many surgeries and faces a lengthy rehabilitation period. May God bless him as he recovers. We also send get well wishes to Arlene Csornán as she recovers from a recent fall and broken upper arm. Please keep all of our members in your prayers and wish them a speedy recovery. Happy birthday and anniversary wishes to all our branch members celebrating a June or July birthday and/or anniversary. The Rt. Rev. Dr. Csaba Krasznai had a busy month of May as he celebrated his 10th anniversary of serving the congregation of The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Cleveland (located in Walton Hills, Ohio), his 40th birthday and his wedding anniversary. We send best wishes to our high school and college graduates. Congratulations on a job well done. All the best to you in your endeavors. Our next branch meeting will be held Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills, Ohio. Adult branch members are encouraged to attend. Branch 14 members having news to share about themselves or family members can reach me at RichSaro@ att.net or at 1-440-248-9012. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Welcome June and summer and everything that makes us happy to be alive. We here in Michigan are still riding the weather roller coasterfrom 40 to 70 degrees in a 24-hour period-but each dip gets shorter and shorter. We have had some terrible events here in America, but we always bounce back stronger. We are so lucky to live here in America. Remember to thank a vet. Special thanks to Gerry D. Clown. Wow, your pages are wonderful. You are such a great member and fratemalist. Get well wishes to Eileen Gonzales, Arpad Antal, Tillie Balogh, Mike Adorján, Janet Totsky, and Julia and Steve Danko. We hope you're better soon. We wish a happy birthday to Tamas Markovits, Anne Marie Schmidt, Richard Sarosi, Joey Gall, Anna Kopicko, Kerri Kramer, Gerry D. Clown and Debbie Evans. May you all have many more. Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially Mariéi E. Bandii and Elizabeth Forintos. May they rest in peace. I received glowing reports from the attendees at our national family bowling event. I was unable to attend, but everything I heard was wonderful. Many thanks to our officers, employees and directors who worked so hard to make it a success. If you have suggestions, please don't hesitate to call me. We do this for your enjoyment. We will be back at the same place next year. Congrats to all the winners. Special hello to Ethel Fodor; sorry I missed you. Thank you, Kathy and Les Megyeri, for all your kind words and unwavering support. Thanks to Richard Sarosi for all his hard work and expertise. Welcome and thanks to new members Judy Schonek and Skyler Schonek. Thanks also to Ursula Markovits for her faith in William Penn Association and me.
