Branch 132 member Jack Vukovits shows his grandchildren a 1953 Studebaker for which he helped build the engine. Continued from Page 18 dren some of the vehicles he helped build. For all who took part, it was a memorable day. The branch once again voted to provide food and baskets and gift certificates to those in need. So, on April 10, Ann Horvath and Helen Pécsi spent the day buying food and filling and delivering seven food baskets. Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Diane M. Torma Hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Members of Branch 296 are now looking forward to the upcoming bowling tournament in Toledo. We once again decided to sponsor a lane for $25, which will benefit the WPFA Scholarship Foundation. Speaking of the Scholarship Foundation, we remind students that the deadline for scholarship applications is May 31. Our branch was pleased to welcome Helen Gosciejew back to our meetings following a long illness. It was wonderful to have you back with us, Helen. Many thanks to Nick Koricich for your donations to Operation Christmas Child and the Scholarship Foundation. You are very thoughtful and generous. We were sorry to hear about all you have gone through in past months. Hope you don't have anymore "bad hair days." Glad you are feeling much better-Bo must be taking good care of you. Welcome new member Delaney Mazur, who is the great niece of Ron Balia. We hope to see you at WPA fraternal events. Happy May birthday wishes to George Charles, Jim Charles, Frank Fritz and all our members celebrating their special day. May your day be filled with all that you love. Get well thoughts and prayers go out to Mickey Wislie and Joe Wislie. May you return to good health soon. Branch 296 is planning to celebrate the WPA's 115th anniversary this year in conjunction with our annual bacon roast. Details on this special day will appear in future articles. We were delighted to welcome Endre Csornán, the WPA's new membership activities coordinator, to our April meeting. Endre shared information with our members regarding upcoming fraternal activities, including a picnic at Penn Scenic View Sept. 15. Our members are anxious to attend this day of fraternalism. Thank you, Endre, for your ideas and offers to assist us. We appreciate your attendance and insight. For your life insurance and annuity needs, call Noreen Fritz at (412) 821-1837.

Branch 336 Harrisburg, PA by Charles Johns Will winter never end here? We're all awaiting spring with its warm winds so we can work in our gardens. The Annual Bowling Tournament is just around the comer. Our members are looking forward to seeing other bowlers and renewing old friendships. Our branch has room on our bus for anyone from Pittsburgh wishing a ride to Toledo. We will pick up riders at the Cranberry / Mars exit of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Cost is $70 roundtrip. If interested, call (717) 236-3516 and leave a message. We wish to welcome aboard new branch members Matt O'Donnell and Harry Nye III, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Russell Walton and their daughters Amanda and Ashley. We hope to see them at our branch meetings. We thank them for choosing the WPA for their financial needs. We're sorry to report that old-timer "Si"—also known as John Sinkovits— is having a slight health problem and will probably miss this year's bowling trip, breaking his record of 50 straight tournaments. We pray for your speedy recovery, Si. You will be missed on the bus. Now is the time to start making golf plans as the WPA Annual Golf Tournament will be hosted by Branch 336. The tournament will be held July 14 at Dauphin Highlands. Call Bob Harbison and Lou Gingrich, branch captains, at (717) 564-9833 and leave a message if you want to play.
