Branch News Kyle and Kyra Beke at the Branch 13 Christmas party. Clown and balloon-making. Special thanks to the dedicated branch members who helped Santa distribute gifts and those who worked in the kitchen. And speaking of Santa, many members commented that he bore a striking resemblance to branch member Richard Jacob. It was remarkable to see the number of families with as many as four generations of WPA members in attendance. So many people expressed how the annual branch party has become a tradition in their families, fostering strong family ties and fraternalism. This is just another example of how the WPA provides a venue for promoting family values and great financial products. The branch welcomes the following new members: Memphis Bregitzer, Dewayne Smith and Jessica Serafino. Contact the Ward Agency at 440-838- 1200 with names of potential new members and earn Recommender Bucks! The 2008 branch meetings will be held March 5, April 2, Sept. 3, and Dec. 3. All meetings commence at 7:30 p.m. and are held at the First Hungarian Reformed Church at 14530 Alexander Road in Walton Hills. All members are welcome to attend and assist in planning branch activities. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy New Year to all our wonderful WPA families.
