Information and an application form can be found near the back of this issue. Please make note of all the deadlines. Our wonderful trip to Europe is filling rapidly. Please reserve as soon as possible. We really prefer to travel with a small group. As always it's first-come/first-served. I believe it will be our best trip ever. I urge you to also make your Hungarian Heritage Experience reservations as soon as you can. We will be doing many new things this year. I will be home and in therapy all winter. Call me anytime at 734-782- 4667. Hello and love to my mom, Irene Korpák. She still reads and critiques my article every month. She will soon be 96. My thought for the month: What does love look like? It has a hand to help others. It has feet to hasten to the needy. It has eyes to see want, and ears to hear the sighs of men. That is what love looks like. (As always, thank you, Father Barnabas.) Stay healthy; avoid the flu if possible. Check on those who are alone, and bring your furry family members inside. by Paula Bodnar The snow in our area is pretty, but we have had enough of it. We're tired of being locked up in the house because of the cold and afraid of getting the flu. We hope all our branch members have been lucky and have not been affected by the flu. Our next branch meeting will be on March 10 at 1:00 p.m. at the American Family Restaurant on Wheeling Street. We will be putting our Easter baskets together. If anyone has anything to donate for the baskets, please bring to the meeting. We will take non-perishable food items, personal hygiene items, coloring books, crayons and bubbles. We also want to remind everyone to make sure the beneficiaries on your WPA insurance and annuity certificates are up-to-date. If anybody has any questions, just give me a call at 419-460-7214. Branch 28 Youngstown, OH by Kathy Novak Wishing all our readers the luck of the Irish as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Hoping all those who experienced the great blast of winter a few weeks ago have returned to normal routines and are looking forward to the arrival of spring, along with everyone else. The Youngstown American Hungarian Federation will host its annual March 15 commemorative event on Sunday, March 18, at 2:30 p.m. at the Aut Mori Grotto Hall, 563 N. Belle Vista Ave. I will share the details of this event next month. What a wonderful weekend the Hungarian Arts Club of Detroit provided for all those attending the 60th White Rose Ball in February. A great deal of detail was put into the preparation for the debutantes and their escorts for this memorable event. The guest of honor was Hungarian Ambassador László Szabó, who was most cordial as he spoke to many attendees individually. He shared many of his personal experiences with us. The dinner was excellent, as was the music provided by Harmonia. We thank the committee for all their hard work and dedication in preserving this Hungarian tradition. As in the past, many of those attending the ball from outside the Detroit area joined with members of Branch 18 the previous night at the Rhapsody Restaurant, where a delicious Hungarian dinner was served. In spite of the snowfall that weekend, many of us attended Mass the Sunday after the ball at Holy Cross Hungarian Roman Catholic Church. It was so nice to see the Rev. Barnabas Kiss, as well as the dear friends we have made over the years. Special thanks to two special friends, Tamás and Ursula Markovits, for all their involvement with this wonderful event. We also thank WPA and Fraternal Director Barbara House for promoting and supporting such a grand Hungarian tradition. Be sure to read the rest of this issue for information on upcoming WPA fraternal events and mark the dates on your calendars. We give special recognition to Steve Szabó and David Szabó as 18 0 March 2018 0 WILLIAM PENN LIFE
