Branch News selves or family members can reach me at RichSaro@att.net or at 1-440- 248-9012. As always, please remember to keep in touch with someone you haven't seen or talked with in a long time. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. Pick up the phone and plan a visit. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Spring has sprung here in Michigan. In February, I cleaned my garden area and trimmed bushes. But, in March, Tom came home from Florida, and winter came back with him. I think God was telling him he could not avoid the season, even though he tried. In March, I attended the Paprika Ball in Cleveland. I took Linda Enyedy, Branch 18 Vice President, with me. Also in attendance were Vice Chair of the Board Anne Marie Schmidt and her husband Mark; National Director Richard Sarosi; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Sarosi; Caroline Lanzara and Jo Anne Sedensky from Branch 14. It was a lovely event, and we are looking forward to next year. The next morning, we attended services at the First Hungarian Reformed Church in Walton Hills, Ohio. The members and Bishop Krasznai sure made us feel welcome. What a lovely congregation they are. We even were able to buy my favorite, hurka. It was delicious. The year 2018 marks the 60th White Rose Ball in Michigan. Yes, it's not until February, but it is not too early to plan to attend. It will be a wonderful celebration. If you have any questions, please call Ursula Markovits at 734-718-5105 or Linda Enyedy at 248-374-1010. They are making some special plans. Attention all WPA scholarship applicants: your completed application form and essay must be mailed and postmarked by May 31, 2017. There will be no exceptions. Don't let this wonderful fraternal benefit pass you by. WPA is in full activity mode for the year. April brought our national bowling tournament. Our golf tournament is scheduled for July. We have our Hungarian Heritage Experience the first week in August, followed by our wonderful WPA Picnic on Aug. 26. Then, on Sept. 6, some of us will fly to Hungary for 15 days. In between, there are many activities to entice you: St. Stephen's Day events, picnics, baseball games, branch activities and festivals. Keep reading William Penn Life for all the information you need or please feel free to call me anytime. The March issue of William Penn Life was wonderful. Thank you all for your submissions. I know it takes time to do an article, but it is the only way we can reach you and hopefully catch your interest with an event or two. Invite your relatives, neighbors and friends to our events. That encourages growth and perhaps new ideas for new events. I will always welcome hearing from you. Tell me what you like and would love to do. Yes, Tibor, I remember the Golden Books and still have a few. Judit, your article on our Hungarian forefathers was wonderful. Did you like "Just 4 Kidz"? Isn't it great? Thank you everyone for all the time you spend making the magazine great. The 10th of the month sure comes around fast, doesn't it? A special hello to member Lovel Jamison. Hello also to Cheryl Talamonti; it was nice to talk with you. Welcome new members Darlene Venaleck and Bruce Edwards. Thank you also to Aladar Nemes and Mary Sipos for calling WPA and me for your financial needs. Remember, our Guaranteed Issue plan is available only for a limited time. Congratulations to Anne Marie and Mark Schmidt on their wonderful news. Their daughter Cassie and son-in-law Greg Heitman will be welcoming a new family member in September. Grandma Anne Marie is absolutely glowing. I can't wait to find out if it is a girl or boy. Our very best wishes to the happy family. Happy birthday to all our members, especially Tamas Markovits, Judy Chakey, Elsie Kantor, my wonderful right hand Judit Ganchuk and, last but certainly not least, the Rev. Barnabas Kiss.

We hope the nice weather gets you moving to better days and good health. March brought us some very sad news. Branch 28 President Steve Novak passed away in the early part of the month. He was a very special friend. Our love and support go to his daughter Kathy Novak, Vice Chair of the Board. We all love you Kathy. He will be deeply missed. Irene Charles, mother of National President George S. Charles Jr., passed away in the middle of March. All our love and support to Pete, his wife Dianne and son Steve.
