Our branch picnic will be on Aug.18, so put that date on your cal­endar. It will be held at Potawatomi Park, Pavilion 1, across from the zoo. Congratulations to all celebrating a birthday, anniversary or gradua­tion this month. Our condolences to the family of Mary Waldvogel. May she rest in peace. Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit I. Borsay Happy birthday and happy anniver­sary to all our members celebrating their special day! Don't forget, Flag Day is June 14. Please keep those who have lost a loved one in your thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you at the annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 7. The picnic is one of our favorite events! Another event we enjoy in our neck of the woods is McKeesport's annual ethnic food fest, the Inter­national Village. One of our local Hungarian churches sponsors the Hungarian booth. They'll be selling chicken paprikás, palacsinta and other favorites Aug. 13 to 15 from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. each day. Also, we are planning a trip to Hiram, Ohio, to attend the Hungar­ian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio's annual Szüreti Mulatság (Fall Festival) on Sunday, Sept. 15. Call Branch Coordinator Malvene Heyz at 412-751-1898 or e-mail Judit Borsay at juditbwpa@yahoo.com to reserve your spot on the bus. We want to stay active through­out the fall, so we are also planning a bus trip in October to Cleveland. Both trips are open to members and future members. Spread the word! Lastly, congrats to our William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers on their first performance of the season at the Pittsburgh Interna­tional Children's Festival on May 18. If you have news you would like to share, please call Malvene at 412- 751-1898. During the Magyar Club of Dayton's 50th Anniversary Dinner- Dance, the club honored Branch 249 member Anne Kertesz (seated) as the only surviving charter member of the Magyar Club. Celebrating with Airs. Kertesz are (l-r) Gail Sloboda-Robi­­son, Viola Dúsak, Karen Vance and Michele Daley-LaFlame. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt Spring flowers are gone along with the sneezes and allergies. Summer time is here! Car washing, garden planting, mowing, painting...maybe allergies aren't so bad after all. We had a full spring schedule in Dayton. We had the Dayton Drag­on's baseball game and the success­ful Magyar Club of Dayton's 50th Anniversary Spring Dinner Dance. Branch 249 member Anne Kertesz was honored as the sole surviving charter member of the Magyar Club. Several WPA officials attended the gala event: National Vice President- Fraternal Endre Csornán and his wife Arlene; National Director Rich­ard Sarosi and his parents, Violet and Ernest; National Director Kathy Novak and her father Steve Novak; and National Director Anne Marie Schmidt. We are all still talking about the delicious food and wonderful music. Several Branch 249 members who also serve as Magyar Club officers were instrumental in organizing the dance. Thank you for all the hard work, Karen Vance, Michele Daley- LaFlame, Viola Dúsak and Gail Robison. Join Hands Day on May 11 was a success as many hands made the work lighter and quicker. We weeded and mulched the rose garden and Blessed Mother Shrine at St. Stephen's Catholic Church. It was a full week­end at the World A'Fair held May 17 to 19 at the Dayton Convention Center. During this annual event, 30-plus ethnic groups offer eth­nic foods, drinks, crafts and entertainment. Of course, Hungary was well represented with kolbász, töltött kápo­szta and delicious pas­tries. Our own Dayton Festival Club Dancers performed many times. Several teams from Dayton at­tended the WPA Bowling Tourna­ment at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino in Washington, Pa. The team of Anne Marie, Mark & Cassie Schmidt and Greg Heitman placed third, and I know A1 and Linda Kertesz had a great time. The staff of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel out­did themselves with shrimp, chicken, braised ribs and lobster tails. On Memorial Day, we remem­bered and honored the brave men and women who gave their final measure in the service of our coun­try. We also want to thank those current and past members of our nation's military for all they have done to keep this land free. Special congratulations to member Jesse Ste­fanies for being appointed a Director to the National Disabled Veterans Board and on receiving a special award for his 34 years and 8,000 hours as a volunteer at the Dayton VA Hospital. We send congratulations to all those celebrating birthdays and an­niversaries. We hope you have many more. Get well wishes to those who have been ill. And we extend our sincere sympathy to those who have recently lost a loved one. Remember dear oT dad on Fa­ther's Day, June 16. 22 0 June 2013 0 William Penn Life
