Branch News Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit I. Borsay Happy birthday and happy anniver­sary to all our members celebrating their special day. Don't forget: Labor Day is Sept. 2. Please keep those who have lost a loved one in your thoughts and prayers. A special event we enjoy in our area is McKeesport's ethnic food fest, 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. On Sunday, Sept. 15, we're go­ing on a trip to Hiram, Ohio, for the Hungarian Cultural Center Of Northeastern Ohio's Annual Fall Festival/Szüreti Mulatság. Admis­sion is $2.50 per person. The bus cost is $30 per person plus $10 for dinner. That means the total cost for this trip is only $42.50 per person. Please call Malvene Heyz at 412-751-1898 or Judit Borsay at 412-672-1906 as soon as you can to get on this bus! Deadline is first week of August. Our bus will leave McKeesport's Hungarian church at 9:00 a.m. and will arrive at the festival around noon. The bus will leave the festival around 4:00 p.m. so we can return to McKeesport by 7:00 p.m. Please call Malvene Heyz if you have news you'd like to share here. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt We hope everyone had a wonderful time at the 30th Annual WPA Golf Tournament and Scholarship Days last month at the Quicksilver Golf Club. Thousands of dollars were again raised for the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation to benefit our youth as they persue a higher education. Con­gratulations to all the winners. It's always good to see old friends and make new ones. See next month's William Penn Life for more about the golf weekend. Several local members attended the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. They thoroughly enjoyed the distinctive folk tradi­tions of our small European nation while enjoying the dance, music, crafts, dishes and wine straight from Hungary. I hope everyone is making plans to go to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest, Sept. 7 at Scenic View. This is a full day of all-you-can-eat Hungarian food, live music, dancing, raffles, activities, crafts, hay rides and fishing. The WPA Picnic is a not­­to-be-missed opportunity to social­ize with fellow Hungarians and to just have a really enjoyable day in the beautiful Laurel Highlands. Branch 129 Columbus has char­tered a bus to drive to Scenic View and has invited our members to join them. Cost is $30 per person. Con­tact Mark or Anne Marie Schmidt at 937-667-1211 for further information on the bus trip. See you at the picnic! There are lots of activities here in Dayton, too. On Aug. 25, Branch 249 celebrates St. Stephen's Day at St. Stephen's Catholic Church with a meeting at noon and a delicious chicken paprikas dinner at 1:00 p.m. There is no charge for members, and guests pay only $8. Please call Mi­chele Daley-LaFlame at 937-278-5970 for your reservation. On Sept. 1, the local Magyar Club of Dayton will host a bacon fry at 1:00 p.m. at Sinclair Park on Shoup Mill Road at Riverside Drive in Harrison Township. Please bring a covered dish to share. The club will supply the fixings for the bacon fry. Ladies, I especially like any pastries. Then, on Sept. 26, we'll hold the Branch 249 Annual Cabbage Roll Sale. Price is $2 each. Look out, McDonalds; 30,000 cabbage rolls sold! To place your orders, call Anne Marie Schmidt at 937-667-1211 or Michele Daley-LaFlame at 937-278- 5970. Rolls are sold in packs of 2,4 or 6. Order now. We always sell out. We send congratulations to all celebrating birthdays and anniver­saries this month, and we hope you enjoy many more. We extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one. Please keep them in your prayers. If you have questions concerning annuities, life insurance or rollovers, please call Michele Daley-LaFlame at 937-278-5970 or Anne Marie and Mark Schmidt at 937-667-1211.

Kelly-Lovasz Hello to each of our Branch 296er's. Hope that each of you is enjoying your summer. Our branch volunteer project of assembling the breakfast/snack bags for the Pittsburgh-based Ronald Mc­Donald House went quite well. Fra­­ternalism abounded when we met at King's Family Restaurant with our snacks, bags and decorating items and went to work. In no time, we had assembled several dozen bags for Diane and John Torma to take to the Ronald McDonald House where they were greatly appreciated. Not only did we do a good deed, but we had fun in the process. Happy birthday greetings to Irene Charles, Marie Charles, Toni Koshe­­ba and all of our members having their special day in August. Get well wishes to all of our members who are under the weather ,and condolences to those who have recently lost a loved one. We're looking forward to seeing you on Sept. 7 at the 13th Annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. It's always nice seeing familiar faces and new folks, as well. For the past several years, I've enjoyed helping in the kitchen area "stirring the pot," so to speak, with Muncie and Joe Király and Frank Petohazi, who are great company. Please stop by and say "hi" to us as you're spending your day. As always, please take care, and we hope to see you at our next meet­ing on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7:00 p.m. at King's Family Restaurant in New Kensington. You can depend on our friendly and knowledgeable agent, Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF, for all of your in­surance and annuity needs. Noreen can be contacted at 412-821-1837 or noreenbunny.fritz@verizon.net. 20 0 August 2013 0 William Penn Life
