Branch 8057 Verona, PA By Betty Tuccillo Branch 8057 Secretary Branch 8057 met for its regular business meeting on May 11 at St. Joseph’s activity hall. Attend­ance was lower than usual because many members were busy prepar­ing for their children’s first com­munions, graduations or other ceremonies. All our hearts lit up when we saw two special guests walk into our meeting — Dominic La Verde and Lee Ann Shively of the Pitts­burgh-East sales agency. It is always a great pleasure to have them with us. The women were treated with belated Mother’s Day flowers and birthday wishes were extended to our members born in May — Josephine Ciorra and Rose Cine­­ffe — and those bom in June — Vera Geiser, Carmela Esposito and Connie Bonorata. Our members also wish a speedy recovery to all our shut­­ins. May God restore them to good health again. Our next meeting will be held at noon Wednesday, June 8, at the home of Branch President Mary Dialoiso, 633 Second Ave., Verona. After the business por­tion of the meeting, we will have a covered dish lunch. There will be no meetings in either July or August.

The meeting began with mass at St. Anthony Church, followed by a breakfast served by Matilda Maier and Julia D’Aurora. Branch President Peter Buffone presided over the meeting. Re­ports were given by Fannie Cipol­­la, Albert DiFalco and Michael Vecchione. In honor of Mother’s Day, the refreshment committee served special heart-shaped cinnamon rolls. The Rev.
