Let the fireworks begin to celebrate our freedom. Thanks to Endre Csornán and his volunteer staff for preparing the Tri- State Picnic. The weather never seems to cooperate for this event, but it doesn't stop WPA members from enjoying a great day of fraternalism and great food. The bacon fry fire served a dual purpose this year: good food and added warmth. Congratulations to Maria Valley on being awarded the Golden Apple Award from the Diocese of Youngstown. The award is given to teachers for their excellence in education. Mrs. Valley is a first grade teacher at Holy Family School, Poland, Ohio. Lots of luck to all those attending this year's golf outing. The two-day event not only provides fun and fraternalism but also serves as a great scholarship fundraiser. Monte Carlo night will be returning for the Friday night reception as well as the Chinese auction. Looking forward to seeing a lot of WPA friends. Happy 100th anniversary to Branch 88. What a wonderful job the officers did providing a very nice banquet and program for their members and guests. Rachel Schauer spent time with her grandma and grandpa before she left Florida to return to England then Germany for her college studies. Branch 28 supported both the Youngstown Streetscape Project and Join Hands Day May 31 by helping Holy Apostle Parish with their spring clean up. Members of Branch 28 joined with fellow parishioners and the Rev. Joseph Rudjak, pastor of St. Stephen of Hungary Church, to spruce up the church grounds. Reminder: Sunday, Aug. 10 is Magyar Nap (Hungarian Day), sponsored by the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation. New location is Aut Mori Grotto Hall, 563 North Belle Vista Ave. (formerly Our Lady of Hungary Hall).
