Toth-Maskarinec Hard to believe we're now well into fall. Golf season has ended for the year, and we can only think ahead and imagine all that will be for next year. Branch 89 sends get well wishes to Betty Rubinsak, wife of branch member Ron Rubinsak, who recently fell and broke her arm while shopping at Kohl's. Betty is a very vibrant person who is always on the go. We hope this injury won't sideline you for too much longer. You're in our thoughts. We are pleased to announce that our newest branch member, Rev. Lisa Kerestesi, recently accepted the position as permanent part-time minister at the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. Congratulations, Rev. Lisa; we know you will be a perfect fit for our church and will be a valuable member of Branch 89. We are also pleased to welcome Rev. Kerestesi's two sons, Miles and Alec, to our branch. Welcome! We have plans for you both. Belated birthday greetings to Debra and Edith Zamberry. May you have many, more happy and healthy birthdays to come. We thank Branch President John Toth Jr., Rev. Kerestesi and branch members Edith, Debra and Michelle Zamberry; Fred Schneider; and Dianne Schneider who recently attended the performance by the Hungarian National Dance Ensemble at West Mifflin High School on Oct. 21. Branch 89 will be donating Holiday Baskets to those less fortunate for Thanksgiving and will be supporting the Coins for Charity Collection recently established by Rev. Kerestesi. This quarter's donations will go to the Rainbow Kitchen. It is important to remember, as we approach the holiday season, those less fortunate than we are and try and do something to brighten someone's day. Arrangements are being made for our annual branch Christmas party to be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 12:30 p.m. at the Brunswick Playmor Bowl. We are also in talks to have Mr. Balloon Man come and make balloon creatures for all of the children in attendance. This will be new to our party, but we think it will be well received. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis November has arrived and so has cooler weather. This is my favorite time of year: the fall weather, the leaves changing colors, Thanksgiving spent with family and friends, and Christmas just around the corner. Remember, especially on Thanksgiving, to give thanks to the people who are important to us. Reach out to those who may be alone on this day, as we all could use a friend in our lives. Important dates for November include: • Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, Nov. 6. Turn your clocks back one hour. • Election Day finally arrives on Tuesday, Nov. 8. • We mark Veterans Day on Friday, Nov. 11. • Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, Nov. 24. We congratulate three branch members selected as new recipients of WPA scholarship grants for the 2016-2017 academic year. They are Reed Abahazie, Leah Conway and Alison Hinton. Good luck as you continue your education. On Sunday, Nov. 13, at 10:45 a.m. there will be a Soup and Learn Program at the Hungarian Reformed Church located 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus.
