William Penn Life, 2016 (51. évfolyam, 1-12. szám)

2016-04-01 / 4. szám

Branch News congregation be blessed by God's grace on this special occasion. I recently saw the film Son of Saul (Saul fia), which won this year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The movie deals with a Hungarian Jewish man named Saul Ausländer who wanted to give a proper Jewish burial to a young boy, whom he claimed as his own son, and who was a victim of the holocaust at the Auschwitz- Birkenau Concentration Camp. It is a unique movie with interesting camera angles and many questions left unanswered. Many languages were spoken during the movie, including Hungarian, German, Yid­dish and Greek. English subtitles were provided. Good luck and best wishes to all of the WPA bowlers at the bowl­ing tournament on April 29 and 30. I hope all participants have a fun weekend with strikes for everyone! Preparations are taking place for the 2nd Annual Branch 14 Red, White and Green Raffle to benefit branch activities. We will have 400 tickets printed with four prizes be­ing offered. The drawing will take place at the Branch 14 Christmas party in November. Check future branch articles for ticket availability.

Remember that any scholarship recipient who has an interesting story to tell and who would like to share it with our members, or who wants to report on their scholastic activities, should send their story to William Penn Life. Our students can be a great source for interesting articles. The officers of Branch 14 extend our sympathy to those Branch 14 and WPA members who have recently lost a loved one. May God bless their families at this difficult time, and may the dearly departed rest in peace. Get well wishes are being sent to all Branch 14 and WPA members, as well as our friends, who might be feeling under the weather. Please keep all of our members in your prayers.

House I hope all our wonderful members and friends enjoyed a happy and blessed Easter. Happy 130th anniversary to Wil­liam Penn Association. Thank you, our wonderful members, our Na­tional Officers, employees and Board of Directors. Thanks to your loyalty, dedication and hard work, we have stayed strong. Not many fraternal insurance companies are as strong as we are. We are the only Hungari­an fraternal, and I am so proud to be an active member. Our future looks wonderful. Congratulations, and I wish you many more. I have some wonderful news for all our Hungarian Heritage Experi­ence attendees. We have booked the Sequanota Lutheran Conference Center and Camp in Boswell, Pa., for this year's Experience. It is a short 15-minute ride from Somerset, very close to where we have been before. The Experience will be held July 30 to Aug. 5. The camp is a beautiful facility that meets our needs per­fectly. I am so happy to have found it. Many thanks to Dora McKinsey, Judit Ganchuk and David Kozak. Your help was priceless. I can't wait for you to see it. The Hungarian Arts Club White Rose Ball was another huge success. Thank you to WPA for all your sup­port. The girls and their escorts were wonderful and did a magnificent job. Thank you again to Linda Enyedy, Ursula and Tom Markovits and the Arts Club Board for all their hard work. I am already looking forward to next year. Young ladies may con­tact Linda Enyedy anytime if you are interested in 2017. Yes, Zachary Haas, she has your name already. Our branch's 50-year member banquet has been booked at the Hungarian American Cultural Cen­ter in Taylor. Invites will be mailed soon. Remember to get your bowling teams together. We have a wonder­ful time planned for all of you. It is not too early to start thinking about our golf tournament. The time just seems to be flying by. Our annual picnic plans are mov­ing along. We are looking forward to working with the Hungarian Cul­tural Center of Northeastern Ohio. Their facility is lovely and will work wonderfully for us. Our annual trip to Europe follows our picnic. I hope you are making plans to join us. Vienna is a new area that we have never been before. I'm sure you will enjoy our trip. Very special get well wishes to George Schvarckopf, Lee Kosaski, Joe Csereklye and Doug Truesdell. We hope you are all better soon. William Penn Life 0 April 2016 0 25
