Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Branch 800 members who will be celebrating 50 years of membership in the WPA will be the guests of honor at our branch's May meeting. We thank you for staying with the branch and the WPA all those years. If you qualify for this honor, the branch will notify you by mail. After a long, hard winter, we are ready for the baseball season to start. Opening day for the Altoona Curve (the AA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates) will be here on April 16 against Erie. The Curve's season includes 71 home games and 71 away games for a total of 142 games. After having cabin fever, it's now time for fun and enjoyment at the ball park. The annual Join Hands Day is set for Saturday, May 2. This is a nationwide event that brings young and old together to conduct projects that will improve their communities. Thousands of Pennsylvania anglers will cast their lines during the first day of trout season. There is a high level of enthusiasm among all those fishermen who are ready and waiting to kick off the fishing season. I wish everyone a happy and successful first day with many more to follow as the season continues. Trout season begins on Saturday, April 18. Do you have a student in your family who is a life benefit member of the WPA and is planning on attending a college, university or school of nursing this coming fall?

Why not have your young scholar apply for this financial help? Deadline for applications is May 31,. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Bob Jones in Altoona at 814-942-2661. Branch 8114 Clarion, PA by Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF The WPA is proud of its history of fratemalism with various activities and educational opportunities. All our members are special to us. In addition, the Association offers very affordable life insurance and high-interest paying annuities. Most CD's are earning peanuts, and with the stock market devouring more and more investments, members and their friends are taking control of their finances with a WPA taxdeferred annuity because of the safety and also because no one-and I mean no one-can predict the market. Branch members celebrating a birthday in April are: Bob Donahue, John Beckwith, Frank Schill, Annette Sunderland, Stanley Bauer, Michael Dale, Albert Fiscus, Kasey Martin, Erin Steiner, Seth Justice, Nick Bagileo, Eugene and Evelyn Seitz, Ann Hartle, Gerry Ochs and Mary Jane Gatesman. All I can say is happy birthday and.. .where's the cake! I am available to help you by reviewing any WPA or commercial life insurance policy or annuity you may have, free of charge. You may end up with a lower premium or no premium. If you have branch news to share or questions on IRA Transfers, 401-K direct rollovers, any pension plan or just need a beneficiary change, please keep in mind that there is no sales charge, and I work in any area. I can be reached at 412-821- 1837 or P.O. Box 15060, Pittsburgh, PA 15237-0060. Or e-mail me at noreenbunny.fritz@verizon.net. Welcome to our Fraternal Family EDWARD Y.
