Branch News and allow them to continue enjoying fraternal benefits — such as this magazine — and full eligibility and participation in our fraternal functions. The officers of Branch 14 extend our sympathy to those Branch 14 and WPA members who have recently lost a loved one, especially the family of Margaret Jacob who passed away on Aug. 17, 2016. Marge Jacob was a dedicated member of The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Cleveland (Walton Hills), and the church's Noodle Makers Group. May God bless all our members and their families at this difficult time, and may their departed loved ones rest in peace. Get well wishes are being sent to all of our Branch 14 and WPA members and friends who might be feeling under the weather. We send out special wishes for quick healing to Violet Sarosi, who suffered a kitchen fall on Aug. 6 and who is now in rehab. My mom should soon be able to place a little weight on her leg. We continue to send supercharged get well wishes, prayers and God's healing power to National Director and Branch 14 Auditor Albert Frate who continues his rehabilitation at his home. It is a tough road. Please keep them and all of our members in your prayers. Happy birthday and anniversary wishes are being sent to all of our branch members and Home Office staff celebrating an October birthday and/or anniversary. Branch 14 members having news to share about themselves or family members can reach me at RichSaro@ att.net or at 440-248-9012. As always, please remember to keep in touch with someone you haven't seen or talked with in a long time. Pick up the phone and/or plan a visit. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Wow! Is it really October? This has been such a wonderful and busy year. I will be in Hungary when this article is due, so this is being written very early. I am also writing this before the WPA Picnic, but I know that, with all your help, it was and will always be a great fraternal fest. I will express all my thanks and write about everything when I get home. Branch 18 is back on schedule with all our meetings and events. Our meetings for the remainder of the year will be held on Oct. 26, Nov. 16 and Dec. 14. All begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Hungarian American Cultural Center on Goddard in Taylor. We would love to have your input in planning our events. Please feel free to bring a guest to our meetings. They may like us and what we do and decide to join. Our annual Christmas party is Sunday, Nov. 20, at 1:00 p.m. at the P.R.C.U. hall on Oak Street in Wyandotte. Admission to the party is a donation of food for homeless pets. Our Hungarian Heritage Experience was another success. Thank you to Audit Chair Ursula Markovits, Auditor Tamás Markovits and Vice President Linda Enyedy for all your help and support. We were at the Sequanota Lutheran Conference Center & Camp in Boswell, Pa. It was a totally new Experience, and all the participants came with open hearts and minds. I thank you all for your hard work in making this another WPA success. Branch 18 also has a trip planned to Soaring Eagle on Nov. 1 and 2. Cost is $159, which includes the bus, overnight accommodations, dinner and other perks. Please let me know soon if you want to join us. This is always a fun overnighter. Don't forget your bathing suit for the hot tub. On Oct. 20, the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble will be appearing at the Dearborn Center for the Performing Arts, Michigan Avenue, Dearborn. Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under. This promises to be a wonderful performance, commemorating the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Many of our members came from Hungary at that time. I hope you plan to attend. For tickets, call the box office at 313-943-2345. Very special thanks to George Sabo, Michelle Pokorny and Judy Schonek for remembering all those tabs. They are greatly appreciated. I can't believe you actually did that for me. Much love and thanks. Thank you to Joan Fiiak and Emma Borsa for the handmade toys. They will be given to an orphanage in Hungary. What special members we have in Branch 18. Thank you so very much. Get well wishes go to Violet Sarosi, "Santa" Schvarckopf, Lee Kosaski, Albert Frate, Doug Truesdell, Joe Csereklye, Beata Császár and Arlene Csornán. Sure hope you are all better soon. Happy October birthday to WPA National President George S. Charles Jr., my friend and Branch 18 Treasurer Carol Truesdell and William Penn Life Managing Editor John E. Lovász.
