He has been in the insurance business for a long time and has a vast knowledge of all phases of insurance. At our Christmas party, the children were entertained by a clown, “Mr. Giggles” for an hour. His antics kept them laughing! After the entertainment was over, all present joined in the singing of Christmas carols. To the tune of ‘Jingle Bells’ Santa Claus (Steve Klics) made his grand entrance, greeted by the cheers of all the children. Santa then questioned each child what they wanted for Christmas and gave them a gift afterwards. It was very heartwarming to see how the children reacted to Santa, especially the very young ones. Many thanks to the adult members who gave of their time to make our Christmas party the success that it was. It is people like these who will see to it that Branch 51 is around for a long, long time. Many thanks again. Santa and Branch 51 children Vice President Sándor Lakatos, Santa and Mrs. F. Zimmermann and grandaughter. Branch Manager Ernest Mozer, Santa and Branch 51 children.

Branch 59 held it’s annual Christmas Party December 9, 1979. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The children came at 3:00 P.M. They were happy to see each other again. The parents came with the little ones. We had refreshments of sandwiches and soft drinks for everyone. Our President Mr. Joseph Totsky passed out the Christmas Carol Books and the 1980 calendars furnished by the Home Office. Each child received a bag of goodies. We always try to add a small toy in our bag of goodies so the children have something to play with. The children always look forward to this small gift. We also had door prizes for all the children. The following members helped with our Christmas party this year: Joseph Totsky, John Gardy, Mary Miller, and Joan Korch. We wound up the party by taking pictures for the William Penn Life. Until next year we wish you all a Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Mary Miller Branch Secretary Branch 76 Philadelphia, Pa.
