Branch News Branch 9 Hazleton, PA by Sara McKinsey-Barra Happy New Year to all Branch 9 members! May the new year hold much hope and promise of good things. Happy Valentine's Day, also. Spend it with the ones you love. The branch held a Christmas party at St. Peter's United Church of Christ in Pine Grove, Pa., on Dec. 16. Branch members Lilly and Julia Barra had a great time putting together the Christmas stockings that were passed out to those in attendance. Many thanks to William Penn Association for supplying the funds and gifts that made it all possible.

Branch 14 Cleveland, OH by Richard E. Sarosi I hope everyone had an enjoyable and blessed Christmas and a New Year's celebration filled with memories and dreams for the future. Happy Valentine's Day! May you, your family and friends have a wonderful celebration. I decided to take it easy on our readers this month and limit my thoughts and words for the Branch 14 article. Yes, it is a slow time for news from Cleveland, but I expect it to pick up as events are being scheduled for 2019. So, best wishes for a great 2019. Stay healthy and enjoy the good fortune that may come your way. Branch 14 meetings will resume in March and will be held in the Bethlen Hall of The First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills.

More Hungarian activities in the Cleveland are being planned, and I will share dates and information about these events with you as soon as it becomes available. Remember to check William Penn Life each month for information on these and other events of interest in both the Association and the American Hungarian community. Please support the clubs and organizations in your local communities that still continue our Hungarian customs, activities, traditions, music and food. We welcome Thomas K. Szélpál to our William Penn Association family. At this time, we remember those WPA members who have passed away or may have recently lost a loved one. May they rest in peace. Get well wishes are being sent to all of our Branch 14 and WPA members and friends who might be feeling under the weather, dealing with health issues or recovering from a surgery. We send out get well wishes and prayers of healing to Branch 14 members Robert "RJ" Chamberlain Jr., Margaret Molnár, Mary Jane Molnár, Ernie Sarosi and Branch 14 President Caroline Lanzara for their continued healing, recovery and return to good health. Get well wishes to Elmer E. "Al" Vargo, former National President. Please keep them and all of our WPA members in your prayers and thoughts. Happy birthday and happy anniversary wishes are being sent out to all of our branch members, Home Office staff and WPA members who are celebrating a birthday and/or anniversary this month. Happy February birthday to Robert "RJ" Chamberlain Jr., who will be celebrating his first birthday. How quickly he is growing up. May all our members be blessed with many more birthdays and anniversaries. Your continued donations and support of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation is very important and much needed, as it provides the funds distributed to our student members for their college studies. If you were a recipient of a WPA scholarship, please support education and our students by donating to the scholarship fund. 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/or plan a visit. Also, remember those who are in the hospital, rehabilitation facilities and extended care facilities. They like to have visitors. Remember, Branch 14 members 14 0 February 2019 0 WILLIAM PENN LIFE
