Wukovits, Jr. National Director Our thanks to members Ann Horvath and Helen Pécsi for their efforts in carrying out the branch’s Easter food basket program. This year they delivered four large food baskets. South Bend Silver Hawks Baseball Night will be Friday, July 31. We are ordering a limited number of tickets for the game which we will make available to members at a discount. Each member will be entitled to buy an additional ticket for a non-member guest. The branch is sponsoring two little league baseball teams this year. They will play at the Southeast Little League Park. We will have the schedule of their games at the office in case you want to attend. The branch picnic will be on Sunday, Aug. 16, at Potowatomi Park, Pavilion P-1. More details will be announced soon. Branch 189 Alliance, OH________ By John Myers Branch 189 Secretary-Treasurer The steak fry on April 17 was enjoyed by the many who attended.

If you missed this one, you can give your taste buds a treat at our next steak fry on May 8. There are still plenty of openings for our golf scramble to be held Saturday, June 6. Tee off time will be 1:00 p.m. If you are looking for a great way to cool off this spring and summer, come to the club for air-conditioned comfort, refreshments and intriguing conversation. Until next time .... Branch 800 Altoona, PA By Vincent Frank Branch 800 President Happy Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day will be celebrated this year on Sunday, May 10. It sure is good that America has set aside this day each year to honor our mothers. Only as we grow older do we fully realize how many sacrifices our mom has made for us. A mother shares so much, cares so much, and gives so much. May the good Lord shower all of you mothers and your families with many blessings. The branch will pay special honor to 15 members who will receive their 50-year membership pins at the May meeting. A social hour will follow. It will be a pleasure to meet some of our dedicated senior citizens who have stayed with the branch all these years. The branch is saddened by the death of longtime active member Robert D. Seymore, 79, who died March 23, 1998, at his residence following an extended illness. Mr. Seymore was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Altoona. He represented the branch through his work for the prison ministry at Blair County Prison. Bob was a member of the Legion of Mary, Third Order Secular Discaled Carmelites, and Nocturnal Adoration Society. He was also a foster grandparent with senior services. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated at Sacred Heart Church with interment at Calvary Cemetery. May his soul rest in peace.

For your life insurance needs, please call either me or Branch Coordinator Robert Jones at (814) 942-2661. Memorial Day will be observed on Monday, May 25. As we go to the cemeteries and pay honor to our loved ones, let us also remember those men and women in all past wars who have made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. We should be grateful to them for they gave up so much. Branch 8121 St. Marys, PA By Mátéjáét Mäteöni Branch 8121 Secretary Our branch held a regular business meeting on April 1 at St. Marys Parochial School annex. It was our first meeting of 1998, and the members were very happy to see each other again. Plans were made for our Communion Mass which was to be held Sunday, April 26, at 8:15 a.m. We also set Dec. 6 as the date for this year’s Christmas party. The date for our picnic will be announced at our next meeting. We also did a lot of praying because we have a lot of sick members. We wish them all speedy recoveries. A social and lunch followed the business portion of the meeting. We hope everyone enjoyed a blessed and happy Easter. Branch 8321 Windber, PA________ By Edward T.
