Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Branch 800 meetings will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 4, at 7:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Religious Education Center, 873 - 21st St., Altoona. As we have said before, all members are Branch News invited to attend. If you are unable to attend all the meetings during the year, please try to attend at least a few of them. We hope you enjoy the beautiful summer weather while it lasts. The weeks are flying by, and we will soon be celebrating Labor Day, the last unofficial weekend of the summer season, on Sept. 3. Most schools will be back in session by then as the new school year in many districts begins the last week of August.

Branch 8121 St. Marys, PA by Mary Lou Schutz Because of previous commitments, our branch changed the date of our June meeting to the 14th of the month. We received tickets for the benefit raffle to be held at the Annual Golf Tournament and members purchased them, proudly offering their support to the WPA's Scholarship Foundation. Branch Secretary Margaret Marconi is still at the Elder Care Home. Members present at the meeting signed a "Thinking of You" card and sent it to her. We send Margaret our best wishes. We had to change the date of our July meeting as well because of the Fourth of July holiday. So, our meeting was held on July 9. More information from that meeting will appear in an upcoming report. All articles and photographs for the September issue of the William Penn Life are due in our office by August IO, 200JT. 20 William Penn Life, August 2007
