Branch 159 Phoenixville, PA by Nancy & Bob Kovach We held our "Spruce Up Day" at Parkside United Church of Christ in Phoenixville on May 21. Our volunteers gathered at the church at 9:00 a.m. First, we pulled weeds in the front and side of the building, then we trimmed all the shrubbery. After that, Gerri Serdy and Vicky Saville planted a dozen red geraniums beside the church sign. Then the rest of the group of 15 volunteers spread two yards of mulch. What a beautiful job! The church Next Deadline July 10 really looked nice when we were finished. At noon, we went inside to have lunch. We enjoyed a time of fellowship together. It was a good feeling for a job well done. Next time we hope to have more volunteers. A special thank you goes out to all our special volunteers. We could not have done it without your help.

Culleiton. Good job, Noreen Fritz! You always help and give our members your undivided attention when helping them with the retirement or life insurance planning. Thank you! Once again, I must say William Penn Life has just become one of my favorite magazines. The last issue was so interesting with articles about Hungary's "peaceful revolution," recipes, Hungarian political news and the letter from the scholarship recipient. I was impressed by that beautiful letter and by Lizzy Cseh of Branch 28 Youngstown, Ohio. Wow! She is only 16. How ingenious was she with last month's puzzle contest? Good job.
