Branch News Arlene Csornán, Louis Krajcz and Louie Krajcz Jr. Hope you are all bet­ter real soon. Congratulations to John Blazo on making the Dean's List. John is also a recipient of a WPA scholar­ship grant. We are so proud of our wonderful student members. I received a phone call from Fa­ther Barnabas of Holy Cross Hun­garian Parish. He informed me that the June 23 concert and dinner was cancelled. I was so disappointed. Please, let's all remember to sup­port every Hungarian event we can. If we don't, they will cease to exist. That would be a shame. Here are two wonderful events I hope you will mark on your calen­dars:- Toledo will host its annual St. Stephen's Day celebration Aug. 17 and 18. Hope to see you all there.- Hiram, Ohio, also has a festival on Aug. 18. The Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeast Ohio is sponsor­ing a village wedding. The time is noon to 7:00 p.m. I received the lat­est newsletter from the HCC. Wow! That is a super newsletter! They cover every event in the area. Check out their website: www.hungarianclub. org. I sure am glad I am a member. Joe Gall, his son Jay and grand­son Tyler were here in Michigan recently. We did everything, includ­ing a Tigers-Pirates game. (We won that one.) Thanks, brother; we had a great visit. Thank you, Rose Antal, for their visit to Greenfield Village. Thank you, Steve Szatmári, for your generosity and super meal (as usual) at the wonderful Hungarian Rhap­sody restaurant. (The Rhapsody is open Tuesday through Sunday.) Our Join Hands Day project was completed on June 1. We had 35 members help out. We began at the Hungarian American Cultural Cen­ter at 10:00 a.m. Then, we went to St. Michael's Church. We ended with a pizza party at the church. Thank you to all who helped. That many hands made the work so easy. Everyone was so grateful, we will probably do the same next year. Remember: we always do it the first Saturday in June. Mark your calendars. Hello to Chef Béla. It was nice to talk to you. Hope you had a wonder­ful vacation. You were missed. 18 0 August 2013 0 William Penn Life Thank you, Judy Chakey. I hope everyone in Branch 18 gets their William Penn Life. Judy worked hard on revising our list. If you prefer to read our magazine online, just let us know. Branch 18 lost a wonderful, sup­portive member and a true Hungar­ian. Julius Sabo, better known as "Deac," died on June 17. We'll miss you Deac. Please remember also Al­lan Debozy, Nancy Buckner, Joseph Martin, Martha Mayoros and Helen Papp. May they all rest in peace. Our bus trip to the picnic is filled. But, I have been known to add when called. Check with me. Our next branch trip is Oct. 14 and 15 when we will visit Soaring Eagle Casino. The cost to you is $75. That price includes bus ride, hotel and various casino perks. The hotel has a five-star rating. Please let me know as soon as possible. This is always a fun trip. We resume our branch meetings at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Sept. 4 at 7:00 p.m. Please plan on joining us. We always have a fun meeting. At our last meeting, Ursula Markovitz won the Charity­­of-the-Month. She chose the Hun­garian Arts Club Scholarship Fund as her recipient. Please remember to bring your pet food to our meeting. We continue to support Basil's Bud­dies all year. Just one month until the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest and, shortly after is our trip to Hungary and "Dracula Country." I can't wait.

Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Hoping everyone has been enjoy­ing all the events offered during the summer months. There are so many local area fairs and church festivals to choose from. My first visit to the Hungarian festival in New Brunswick, N.J., was wonderful. Lots of pride in our Hun­garian heritage was shown there. By the time you read this, the golfing event will be another WPA memory. More details of the event will be shared in my next article. Remember to reserve your seat on Branch 28's bus traveling to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest. Call Steve at 330-746-7724 or Frank at 330-549-2933. Make sure you still have Aug. 11 marked on your calendar to join the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation as they host the annual Magyar Nap at 2219 Donald Av­enue. The music will be provided by The Hungarians, a group from the Akron area. The day's events start at 1:00 p.m. Congratulations to the Check family on receiving the Judges' Award at the Greater Cleveland Gulyás Cook-Off held Father's Day, hosted by the Hungarian Cultural Garden of Cleveland. The People's Choice Award went to one of the other contestants. Thank you to the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C. They did a wonderful job presenting their Folklife Festival and sharing our great Hungarian heritage. My family experienced the festival during the last weekend of June. We were im­pressed with the displays, perform­ers and art work. Happy retirement to Helen Dinda. She is giving up her career as an elementary teacher with the Diocese of Youngstown. Her dedication has touched many lives throughout the years. Get well wishes to Tibor Check Sr., Evelyn Horvath, J.J. Tollas, and all those not up to par these days. Many happy and healthy birth­day and anniversary wishes go out to all of members celebrating their
