Branch 18

Lincoln Park, MI

by Barbara A. House Happy Holidays to all you wonderful members and your families.

Special thanks to my William Penn family for helping to make our General Convention a wonderful and best ever event. I certainly felt like a special person at the Convention.

Thank you to the best Board a

chair ever had. The dog for our Tree of Knowledge was the most thoughtful thing you could have done. I can't wait to see her under the tree.

Thank you to all our super National Officers for all your hard work. It truly showed through the entire Convention.

Thank you to our dedicated employees. No company has any better than William Penn Association. Each and every one of you hold a special place in my life and heart.

Last, but certainly not least, thank you to my Branch 18 officers. I am always proud of you, but you all worked extra hard to become delegates, and you are the best.

Thank you, again, to Kathy and Les Megyeri for the suit from Hungary. I truly love it, as did so many others.

I am looking forward to the next four years, and I wish this wonderful new Board of Directors all the best. Andy McNelis and his Board have wonderful plans for us.

Speaking of plans, we are working very hard on our September 2016 trip to Europe. We are going to Vienna, Croatia and Hungary. Home Office employee Judit Ganchuk, National President George S. Charles Jr. and I are in constant contact with each other as we plan this trip. The itinerary is looking marvelous. Prices and departure cities are being finalized as I write this. Please call Judit at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 149, or me if you would like to be part of this wonderful trip. We already have a list of travelers started. I can't wait to see you all.

Special hello to Julia Maslanik.

She was born in 1921 and has been a WPA member since 1938. Now that's loyalty.

Speaking of loyalty, we are planning a 50-year member banquet for June 2016. We have not had one for a couple years, so we will catch up with all of you now. You may contact me if you feel you qualify. Invitations will be sent to all those we are able to get in touch with. Read William Penn Life as plans progress.

Thank you, Steve Stoltz, for thinking of WPA and me when adding to your insurance. You are always a super member.

Thank you, John and Emily Solosy of John K. Solosy Funeral Home, for donating our Christmas party raffle tickets. You are truly appreciated.

Special hello to Tammy and John Yuhasz. What a wonderful way to meet again.

Get well wishes go to Joe Csereklye, Olga Wansa, Helen Molnár, George Schvarckopf, Mike Adorján and Doug Truesdell. We send you lots of love and get well prayers.

Happy December birthday to Dennis Chobody, Debra Lewis,

Dave Chakey, Albert Frate and Nick Kotik. May you all celebrate many more.

Thank you, Branch 18, for all your animal food and rug/ towel donations. We have such wonderful members. Please bring your donations to our next branch meeting and Christmas party on Dec. 9. We will meet at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Goddard Road in Taylor at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you all there. This will be our last meeting until April 2016.

Abbie is doing her best to fill some very big paws. She is 28 pounds at 4 months old. Did you ever think of adopting a furry friend? They sure fill your time and heart with lots of love.

Please remember our deceased members and their families in your prayers, especially Rose C. Antal, Rosemary Lewandowski and Georgiám Ohannesian. May they rest in peace.

It is with great joy and thanksgiving that I wish you a wonderful holiday season. I hope you are surrounded by those you love. We ask God to continue blessing our beloved William Penn Association and you, our wonderful members.

Please help at your branch. Become an active member. We are the only Hungarian American fraternal society. We need you and your suggestions. All ideas are welcome.

"Enthusiasm may not solve all your problems, but it sure will annoy enough people to make it worthwhile." Thanks, Marie Riedl. I really think that is true. Great!

Remember, life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and
