Branch News WPA Chair of the Board Andrew W. McNelis participates in the Honor Guard during a Memorial Day service held at Calvary Cemetery in Pittsburgh. Jeffrey Jenkins, Justin Toth and Mark Maskahnec prepare for the Branch 89 golf outing to be held Aug. 7 in Elizabeth, Pa. Branch 44 Akron, OH by Elizabeth Darago This year, Branch 44 has been blessed with overwhelming compassion and caring from our members through gracious donations made to several different organizations:- Personal care items and early spring garden items went to the Haven of Rest in Akron, which supports the poorest of the poor.- Food was donated to The Peace House, a program run by a nun in Akron for South American immigrants.- Medical supplies went to Educate the Congo in Barberton, which builds and supplies village clinics.- Toys and enhancement items were donated to Happy Trails Farm Animal Rescue in Portage County.- Food also went to the Akron/ Summit County Food Bank through the Sanctuary, the largest food donation center in the City of Akron.- Members have also contacted me about donating clothes to ACCESS Inc, a temporary housing program for homeless women and children. Such awesome acts of kindness! It takes a Hungarian village...and that's exactly what our members are. Thank you all so much for your heartfelt generosity. We've also contacted Alan Szabó (call him for your insurance needs) to pick up our Branch 44 donation for the WPA Golf Tournament Chinese auction. We try to donate a nice item each year for the raffle. Branch officers Bob Chula and George Naswadi donated extra funds during the Easter season, which allowed us to donate a spiral ham and a leg of lamb for the Easter basket donations. We congratulate all graduates and those celebrating happy occasions this month. We also extend our condolences to those who have experienced a loss. Please contact me if you are interested in traveling to Hiram for the WPA Picnic on Aug. 27. If enough people sign up, maybe we can get a bus! Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Mark S. Maskarinec Get well wishes continue to go to Branch member Fred Gabocy on his recent lung surgery. Hurry up and get better, Uncle Fred; we need you. Our first monthly Dine Out Dinner was held at Lydia's in the Strip District May 14. It was a big success with 14 people in attendance, and, boy, were the food and atmosphere terrific. Next month's dinner may be on Friday, July 29, at the Darlington Inn in Ligonier, Pa. Since many of our branch members will be golfing in the Bethlen Communities Golf Outing, why not arrive the night before and enjoy a good Hungarian dinner. Another suggestion is for dinner at Dorothy 6 Blast Furnace Café in Homestead. Please let us know which you prefer and how many people will be coming. Branch 89 congratulates branch member Richard J. Toth on becoming a doctor. Richard graduated from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) at Seton Hill May 29. Dr. Toth earned his bachelor's degree at Grove City College. He is the son of former National Vice President-Secretary Richard W. Toth and his wife Nancy, and the grandson of the late John and Elaine Toth and Joseph and Frances Vaskó. He is the brother of Christopher, Matthew and Zachary. We couldn't be prouder. We know his Uncle Elmer and grandparents are smiling down from heaven and bursting with pride. On a somber note, we were sorry to learn of the sudden death WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 July 2016 0 23
