Congratulations to all. We had another successful Christmas party attended by about 160 members and guests. We started off with a magician to entertain the children. That was followed by a delicious Hungarian meal, catered by the Hungarian Cultural Association. After the meal, Santa arrived and visited with the children. Each child received a toy and cash from the branch as well as a McDonald's gift card and bag of goodies provided by the Home Office. Door prizes were given out to 25 adult members. We thank everyone who helped set up for the party and all who stayed to help clean up. Also, a big thank you to the Home Office for all its help. The Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus, will have a program on Sunday, Jan. 8, following the 10:00 a.m. service. Soup will be served at 11:15 a.m. followed by the program. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families.
