Branch News come out and support them. We continue to make plans for a chicken paprikás dinner to be held in March. We would like to serve dinner, offer takeout and raffle off some authentic Hungarian embroidered tapestries donated by Carolyn Slaugh. We still have some gulyás and kolbász for sale. Please call Mark Maskarinec at 412-398-2078 or email Mark at mark.maskarinacl836@comcast.net. Price is $6 per quart for the gulyás and $5.50 per pound for the kolbász. On March 23, Tom Kazar, owner of Dorothy 6 and a WPA member, will be having another Hungarian Night at his restaurant, complete with the musical accompaniment of George Bátyi. It promises to be a great night, with good food and great music. Come out and check out Dorothy 6 on 8th Avenue in Homestead. The food is always great, even if it's not on one of the Hungarian Nights. At the last Hungarian Night, the menu featured kolbász made by Chef János and Endre Csornán. How great is that? Both Branch President John Toth Jr. and Branch Coordinator Lisa Toth-Maskarinec attended Hungarian Night along with members from other WPA branches. The food and entertainment were extraordinary. Once you enter Dorothy 6, eat the wonderful Hungarian food and hear George Bátyi, you won't be in a hurry to leave. Dorothy 6 has a terrific brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. You don't want to miss out on that. Tom has also added live jazz music for his Sunday brunch. For reservations, call Tom at 412-464-9023. On Feb. 17, our branch provided the dessert and helped serve dinner at the semi-monthly dinner at Eighth Avenue Ministries. This is a wonderful program run under the auspices of Rev. Keith Kaufold and his wife Monica and benefits many of the less fortunate members of our area who may not get a hot meal or are tired of dining alone. It feels good to attend one of these dinners and the church service which follows. If you don't feel good after one of these evenings, then something is definitely wrong. We will also be baking for Easter. Deadline for orders is March 11. All orders are to be picked up on Saturday, March 31, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. Relax and leave your Easter baking to us! See the next page for more information. Get well wishes continue to go to branch members Fred Gabocy, George Rostival, Janet J. Phillips, Jim Findlay, as he battles cancer, and Patricia Walochik, who spent her Christmas holidays battling pneumonia in the hospital and recently joined the ranks of pacemaker recipients. Take care and make every day count. Do something nice for someone and see how good you will feel. It takes more energy to complain about something than it does to correct the problem. Fraternalism is the key! Let's make it count. We wish everyone a Happy Easter! Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Greetings to all from Columbus, Ohio. After having a mild winter the last couple of years, we have had plenty of cold weather and snow this year. Can't wait for spring weather to get here. We welcome our newest branch member, Camden Lawson. Special days this month include: • the start of Daylight Saving Time on March 11-don't forget to turn your clocks forward one hour; • the anniversary of the 1848 Hungarian War of Independence on March 15; • St. Patrick's Day on March 17; • Palm Sunday on March 25; and • Good Friday on March 30. I attended the 60th Annual White Rose Ball on Feb. 3 at the beautiful Dearborn Inn. I would like to thank the members of the Hungarian Arts Club of Detroit for all of their hard work in hosting and preserving this wonderful Hungarian event. We had a great time and look forward to next year. Branch 89 Vice President Mark Maskarinec explains the benefits of belonging to WPA to Vikram Katona, the great-grandson of the late Geza and Yolan Katona, who were both members of Branch 89. Our next branch meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 6, at Plank's Café, located at 743 Parsons Ave., Columbus, beginning at 4:00 p.m. Please plan on attending to discuss activities for the coming year. The Hungarian Cultural Association invites you to join them for the Kossuth Commemorative Dinner on Sunday, March 18, at St. Ladislas Church, located at 277 Reeb Ave., Columbus. The program will start at 11:30 a.m., followed by dinner. Reservations are required. Please call Erzsi Wagner at 614-738-4415 by March 11. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families. Get well wishes go out to all who have been ill or hospitalized. We hope all have a speedy recovery. We also extend our sincere sympathy to all those who have recently lost a loved one.
