Branch 129 Columbus, OH By Arpad Sibrik Branch 129 Coordinator A beautiful cool morning greeted 90-plus golfers at the WPA 14th Annual Golf Tournament held at the Culbertson Hills Golf Resort in Edinboro, Pa. Branch 129 was rep­resented by 11 golfers. A little rain in the afternoon didn’t dampen the spirits of the players. Congratulations to Dolores Slivka whose gross score of 98 was the lowest among the women ages 18-59, and to Bill Wood who had the lowest net score among the men ages 18 to 59 with a 72. Both are from Branch 129. They each re­ceived a $100 gift certificate from the golf course’s pro shop. Friday night’s reception was great with lots of good food, past­ries and liquid refreshments. The putting contest was lots of fun for everyone who participated, but no one sunk three putts on three balls to win $50. However, many did win WPA water bottles, golf balls and coffee mugs filled with candy. After the beautiful banquet Sat­urday night, there were many door prizes handed out and the raffle drawing for the benefit of the schol­arship fund. The big event was the auction raffle for a set of Ping golf clubs. Congratulations to the win­ner, Steve Pronai. All in all, everyone had a good time, old and young alike. Matthew Isabel, my (almost) 9-year-old grandson, played with the big boys and didn’t do too bad, considering his age. Thanks to the Home Office and staff for all their efforts to make sure everyone had an enjoyable time. Charlie Boso is home from the hospital after skin grafts on his foot. Get well, Charlie. Acy Blair and John Dobos are still in the rest home. We hope you will get better, too.
