Tamandl Branch News Continued from Page 3 Miller, the recipient of this year’s religion award. He expressed his deep appreciation for this monetary award. Fall is a beautiful season of the year with all the trees decked out in their autumn colors. If you love scenery, then take a drive anywhere and see the fall foliage. Mother Nature is giving us a show of beauty to enjoy before the winter season. Don’t miss the display. It will refresh you. Branch Auditor Paul Masic is very appreciative of those members who are helping him by sending in old photos of the branch’s past spiritual and social affairs and many other photos of interest to the branch. The photo album is filling up. Do you have anything that you would like to be placed in this book? The album is brought to social affairs so people can reminisce over the pictures. I am sure that a lot of our members have special events going on in their families’ lives which other members would like to read about. Don’t hold back from calling me at 695-0213. We will put your story in the next issue of the William Penn Life. All branch meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. sharp. We hope to see you at our next meeting.
