Branch 800 Altoona, PA By Vincent Frank Branch 800 President Members attending the February branch meeting approved a mo­tion that the branch again make its annual donations to the mini­stries at the Huntingdon Correc­tional Institution and Blair Coun­ty Prison. This is our branch’s way of lending a helping hand and looking after the inmates’ spiritual needs. Many religious items and books have been pur­chased for the inmates, thanks, in large part, to our branch’s annual donations. Branch 800 congratulates Chairman of the Board Michael J. Hrabar on being selected as a recipient of the 1996 Distinguish­ed Service Award presented by the American Hungarian Founda­tion. After reading of all his accomplishments over the years, we certainly agree that he is a most deserving recipient. Are you ready for the arrival of spring on March 20? Everyone here in central Pennsylvania cer­tainly is. After a hard winter with loads of snow, blizzards, low tem­peratures and terrible floods in which so many people lost much of their property, we will wel­come spring with open arms. We hope the parents and grandparents of our young mem­bers will encourage them to apply for one of our Association’s 1996 scholarship grants. Remember: The deadline for applications is May 15. Please see the notice concerning the scholarship pro­gram on Page 3 of this issue. We wish all our members and their families who are of Irish descent a Happy St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. Many couples in our branch have at least one partner who is Irish. We wish all a nice day. Our branch meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the social hall of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 2700 Broad Ave., Al­toona. All members are encour­aged to attend.
