Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday. It reminds me of warmth, love and peace. May each of our days be blessed with the contentment that comes from laughing, loving and finding new joys in all the old familiar comforts of our lives. Branch 8114 monthly meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend. The officers will be making preparations for the successful and wellattended Christmas party. The monthly meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Immaculate Conception Church, Main Street, Clarion. We hope to see you at our next meeting. Tax-deferred annuities make a great Christmas gift. They teach children thrift and how to save.
