Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit Ganchuk Each November, we remember Vet­erans Day and honor veterans who are alive and not currently serving in the military. We pray for all those in harm's way, especially the fam­ily of our branch's secretary, Janet Sparico. Her granddaughter, Aman­da Reichert, and her husband, John, are serving in the U.S. military, and their family is stationed in Hawaii. We extend our sympathies to WPA members and their families who have lost a family member or friend; it is never easy to lose a loved one. We're sending prayers for the family and friends of Pearl Pavelko, Dorothy Balawajder and Melinda Ashbaugh. May they rest in peace. Happy birthday wishes to all our members sharing their special day this month! Happy anniversary to all those celebrating this month! Sending warm hugs to Sally Pe­tras, former branch auditor. We send get well wishes to Mar­garet "Manci" Király and our other branch members who are coping with illnesses. Congrats to first-time parents Ju­lia and Dylan Shipton on the birth of their beautiful daughter. We know the family is proud and happy! Congrats also go out to my sister, Noémi, and her family in Texas on their new bundle of joy, Augustus (Gus for short, pictured left). Our branch's juvenile Christ­mas party is in the works. Keep a lookout for your family's invitation in the mail. The William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers are always looking for more singers and danc­ers in the Pittsburgh area to join us. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact us! Branch members please note that our November meeting will not be on the normal third Thursday at 10:00 a.m. time slot. As of this print­ing, the time was not set, so please call the number below to get the updated time. Do you have good news you'd like to share with us? Are you volun­teering somewhere for the holidays? Please call Branch President Mal­­vene Heyz at 412-751-1898 to spread some cheer and let us know about your charitable projects! Finally, at Thanksgiving this year, keep up an attitude of gratitude and go around the dinner table telling everyone what you are thankful for; it may surprise you how thoughtful even your youngest relatives can be! Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt November is here with all its wind, rain, snow and cold weather; but I don't care. Maybe it's a leftover sug­ar high from Halloween candy, but in any case, the holidays are upon us, and I feel full of the holiday spirit. Lots of planning to do; Thanksgiv­ing, shopping for Christmas and New Year's. Why do we cram all of this in basically one month? This is exhausting. And just as exhausting was last month. With many fairs and festi­vals, I don't know how we made time for the Gulyás Fest on Oct. 21. Branch 249 and the Hungarian Club of Dayton & SW Ohio jointly held a well-received dinner of authentic gulyás, cabbage and noodles and all the fixings. Violinist Steve Green­­man, a member of the Cleveland ethnic band Harmonia celebrated Hungarian ethnic pride by play­ing all the old favorites. The food and desserts were fantastic, and the strolling violinist made for a won­derful evening. This was the third Gulyás Fest, and it gets bigger and better each year. I hope to see you at next year's. The next Branch 249 meeting is Saturday, Nov. 11 at 1:00 p.m. in McAuley Hall at Queen of Martyrs Church on Cedar Ridge Road off North Dixie near the traffic circle. We will finalize plans for the annual children's Christmas party. Also on this day, Nov. 11, please remember all our veterans. They have given so much, some gave all, to preserve and protect you and this country. May God bless them and this great nation. Thanksgiving is coming up Nov. 23. May everyone give heartfelt thanks for the blessings God has bestowed on you and yours. I know I will. And try not to eat too much! You still have Christmas and New Year's to go. Please mark your calendars for the annual Branch 249 children's Christmas party on Sunday, Dec. 10. Please make note that the time has been changed from past years. Please arrive by 11:30 a.m.; we WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 November 2017 0 29
