Branch News of members William Rubinsak. Bill was a lifelong member of WPA and could be seen at our golf outings. He was a staunch supporter of WPA and Branch 89, and his presence will be missed. In lieu of flowers, Branch 89 will sponsor a hole at the upcoming golf outing in Bill's name. He truly loved the game of golf, and we know he would love this gesture. We extend our deepest sympathies to Bill's wife Connie, his daughter Reine, his brother Ron and their families. Bill may be gone but his presence will live on forever. We will have fond memories of him hitting those little yellow golf balls. Speaking of golf, mark your calendars for our branch's golf outing, which will be held Sunday, Aug. 7. We'll be teeing off at 12:30 p.m. at Butler's Golf Course in Elizabeth, Pa. To make our outing even more successful, we need your help. Our motto for this year is: "A lot of people each doing a little bit." You don't need to do a lot; a little bit is all we're asking for. You can do a number of things, including: 1. Attend. Even if you don't play golf, you can attend the dinner and participate in the auction. 2. Be a hole sponsor. For $50, you get a sign on a hole saying whatever you want it to say. Many people use this as a way to honor and remember loved ones. 3. Be a donor. We can always use new golf items, wines, gift cards and Pennsylvania lottery tickets. 4. Buy 50/50 tickets. Last year's 50/50 payout was about $700. This year, we are shooting for a payout of $1,000. 5. Get the word out. We have brochures available in paper and PDF. We'd be glad to get them out to you. 6. Keep the Coke and Kellogg's codes coming. Anyone with any codes can email them to me at maskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. Thanks to all who have already given. Once again, we plan on honoring our senior members of the branch. Who will that be? Come find out. I understand there's talk of honoring a woman this year. We are hoping to do an outing to the ballpark and night at the movies. We look forward to meeting a lot of our members in the upcoming year at some of these events. Please contact the branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your life insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412-872-5022. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hope everyone is having a fun and exciting summer. We have been having great weather so far this summer. We welcome our newest branch member, Paul Grucza. Our branch participated in Join Hands Day again this year. Flowers were planted and flower beds were mulched at the Hungarian Reformed Church in Columbus. We had several of our members participate in this project. This activity is a great way to give back to the community. Independence Day, which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, will be celebrated on Monday, July 4. Many of us will be attending parades, picnics and fireworks displays over the holiday weekend. This day is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends. Good luck to all who will be participating in the annual WPA Golf Tournament to be held on July 15 and 16 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa. This is a great way to meet old friends and make new ones. Also, save the date Aug. 27 to attend the WPA Picnic. It will be held at a new location: the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram, Ohio. Please plan on attending this fraternal event. A Taste of Hungary Festival will be held at the Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus, on July 16 from noon to 6:00 p.m. Enjoy Hungarian foods, musicians from Cleveland and a performance by the Dayton Dancers. There will also be Hungarian items for sale. Our branch is a sponsor for this event. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and Congratulations to Branch 89 member Dr. Richard J.

Get well wishes go to all who have been ill or hospitalized, especially Branch President Margaret Boso. Hope all have a speedy recovery.

Branch 132 South Bend, IN by John E. Burus We had a very short spring and went right to summer, and the weather has been just beautiful since the last issue.
