Branch News you all have many more. Please remember in your prayers our deceased members and their families, especially Steve and Julia Danko, who passed away just days apart, George Deac Sabo, Louis Pete Jr. and Sophie Szyndlar. May they all rest in peace. Branch 18 resumes its branch meetings on Sept. 4. We meet at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Goddard Road in Taylor at 7:00 p.m. Please remember your food donations for needy animals. We do that all year round. Please plan on joining us. Happy anniversary to my very supportive husband, Tom. I will be in Hungary on Sept. 24, but I will celebrate, probably at the Mattyas Pince. Can you believe it's been 47 years? I love you. Take care of Gabby. I will miss you both terribly. I can always be reached at 313- 418-5572. Have a wonderful fall. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Where did the summer go? Schools are back in session, leaves are changing color and holiday items are starting to appear on store shelves. I hope you made a lot of good memories over the vacation days of summer. What a wonderful event the WPA Golf Tournament proved to be. The weather started out a little wet, but by the time everyone was teeing off, the showers had moved out of the area. As always, the Home Office and its key people planned and provided a wonderful two days of great activities. The reception on Friday night included many fundraisers, all for the Scholarship Foundation. Then, after the golfers were done on the course, a wonderful barbeque was shared in the club house. Visiting with fellow WPA members is always enjoyable. Remember, on Sunday, Sept. 8, the day after the WPA Picnic, the Youngstown American Hungarian Club will be hosting its annual Hungarian Heritage Day at the club house, 2219 Donald Ave., from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. There will be plenty of food, pastries, refreshments, enter-Mary Ann and Tibor Deri share a dance during a dinner cruise on the Mississippi River attended by members of Branch 18. tainment and artifacts to enjoy. Looking forward to the Fraternal Fest at Scenic View. I'm sure it will be as fantastic as past WPA Picnics have been. Grandpa John Morey is very proud of his 9-year-old grandson whose team advanced to the semifinals in the Little League World Series. Margie Sams is extra proud of her granddaughter who recently spent some time in Hungary as part of a Habitat for Humanity program. Happy birthday to all those celebrating their special day this month, espcially Branch President Steve Novak and Sándor Tollas Sr., who is celebrating his 90th birthday. Many special wishes go out to Margaret Kuty on her 100th birthday. She has been involved with WPA her whole life. Her father was a sales agent for the former Verhovay Aid Association. Congratulations to all those couples celebrating an anniversary. Get well wishes go out to all those not feeling up to par, especially Barbara House, Elizabeth Cibulas, Evelyn Horvath, Maria Goda and Joan Mauerman. We extend our sincere condolences to all those who recently lost a loved one, especially to the Steve Takacs family on the passing of his son, Stephen Takacs Jr. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Kathy at 330-746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis Can't believe that summer will be over and fall is right around the comer! Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. The golf tournament at Quicksilver had a great turn out. It is a challenging course, but everyone seems to enjoy it. It rained pretty hard on the way to the course, but once everyone arrived, the weather took a turn for the better. Thank goodness! The food served at the golf course was delicious. The Hungarian Heritage Experience was sold out again this year. Fantastic! It certainly is a great fraternal activity. You learn or brush up on Hungarian at a pretty location, meet new people and enjoy great food. What more can you ask for? A special "thank you" to all the attendees, the great teachers, the cooks, and, of course, Endre and staff. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the WPA Picnic on Sept. 7. Special birthday wishes go out to my daughter-in-law Valerie, my nieces Nicole and Gabriella, and everyone celebrating their birthday in September.
