Branch News A golden family Congratulations to the members of the Lorenc family who are all 50-year members of WPA Branch 27 Toledo, OH: Rose and William Lorenc (top) and their children (from left) Mary Nusbaum, William J. Lorenc Jr. and Agnes Nardone. You can read more about the meeting in the Magyar Matters section on page 13 of this issue. I am sad the conference will now be held every two years. We must try to get together before the next one. The Bethlen Communities will be celebrating their 95th anniversary in October. We will be there with bells on. Congratulations! Congratulations also go to WPA's Vice Chair of the Board Anne Marie Schmidt on her much deserved retirement. You are a special friend. I hope you do only what you want to do. Enjoy! Branch 18 is now on hiatus for the summer. We will resume our meetings in the fall. A special thank you goes out to Kathy Megyeri and Abbie. Our branch's Charity-of-the- Month for May was won by Joan Wanat, who selected Angel's Place. Thank you for choosing a truly worthy recipient. We hope our contribution helps. Get well wishes go to all our members feeling under the weather, especially George Schvarckopf, Lee Kosaski, National Director Albert Frate, Doug Truesdell, Joe Csereklye, retired National Director Marge Boso and Arlene Csornán. Hope you are all feeling better soon. Happy July birthday wishes go to Pammy George, Danielle Iorio, Emma Borsa and my dad in Heaven. Dad and I shared our birthdays, and it sure is not the same now. May you all have many more. Please remember in your thoughts and prayers our deceased members and their families, especially Assunta Marco, Rosemary Janashousky and William Crist. May they rest in peace with our Lord. Please contact me if you plan on attending the WPA Picnic in Hiram, Ohio. Our branch's package includes round trip bus transportation, all you can eat and drink at the picnic and fantastic fraternalism...all for just $65 per person. How can you beat that? So, mark your calendars for Aug. 27 and call me at 313-418- 5572 to make your reservations. You can also call me to reserve your seat on our branch's annual trip to Soaring Eagle Nov. 1 and 2. Cost is $159 per person. You all know what a great trip this is. Call me as soon as possible. Enjoy summer and spend all the time you can with loved ones. Hope to see you all at our golf tournament. My thought for the month: How well you do in your life depends on you being sweet and tender with the young, truly compassionate with the old, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak, because one day you will have experienced all of these. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Members of Branch 28 helped to spruce up the grounds around the St. Stephen of Hungary worship site of Holy Apostles Parish on June 4 as part of the branch's Join Hands Day project. Members weeded, planted and mulched the floral areas around the church. It was so nice to attend the two dinners held in conjunction with the Calvin Synod Conference. Both events were well attended. It's always nice to reconnect with familiar faces. Fraternal Director Barbara House presented donations at both events on behalf of WPA, and the donations were greatly appreciated. Visiting the Ohio area for her summer break is Rachel Schauer. She will be spending time with her grandparents, Frank and Maria Schauer. Just a reminder for some of our upcoming events: • Sunday, Aug. 14 - Magyar Nap (Hungarian Day), Youngstown, sponsored by the Youngstown American Hungarian Federation, at the Aut Mori Hall on Belle Vista Avenue, from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. Music by Steve Pal; food, beverages and pastries available for purchase. As an added treat, this event is now being held in an air conditioned hall. • Saturday, Aug. 27 - WPA Picnic, Hiram, Ohio. For more information, see page 12 of this issue. We're looking forward to having some fun in the sun at the 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days. This event is always a good time with our WPA friends as we support the WPFA Scholarship Foundation. The Monte Carlo Night and Chinese auction are always so much fun, and the food on both nights is delicious. Happy days of celebrating are wished to all those marking birthdays or anniversaries this month. Get well wishes go to everyone not feeling up to par, especially National Director A1 Frate, retired National Director Marge Boso, Alex Nagy, the Rev. Joseph Rudjak and Branch 28 President Steve Novak. Enjoy all the summer activities WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 July 2016 0 21
