Branch News have on their shelves to purchase for this special night. Remember it will be time to turn back our clocks soon. Yes, Eastern Standard Time starts Sunday, Nov. 7, at 2:00 a.m. At the same time, remember to change the batteries in all your smoke detectors. The branch's annual memorial Mass for our deceased brother and sister members will be held Thanksgiving Day at 9:00 a.m. at St. Mark's Catholic Church in Altoona. This has been a tradition for our branch since the early 1940s. Make a special effort to be with us. Please bring a non-perishable food item for the poor. It's time to start thinking of our upcoming branch Christmas party, which has been scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 5, at 6:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express, 3306 Pleasant Valley Blvd., Altoona.

Branch 8114 Clarion, PA by Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF (in Pittsburgh) Everyone at William Penn Association and all the members of Branch 8114 extends their deepest sympathy to Gordon and Dottie Rice and their family on the loss of their son William G. Rice. May God be with you at this time of great sorrow and pain. The branch steak fry was successful as usual. Many thanks to branch officers Kevin Slike, Bob Donahue and Art Aaron. Thanks for hanging in there and planning this event that so many people enjoy every year. The 50/50 prize was won by Frank Bauer. We missed Clair Bauer at the steak fry. He was fishing in Canada with friends, and we welcome him home. Member Ed Steiner and wife Miriam recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to this happily married couple and every good wish to both of you for health, happiness and many more years of togetherness— each year happier than the last. Last month, I was a little too busy to meet the deadline for the September issue so I am sending a happy belated birthday wish to branch members that had a September birthday. I hope that you were treated special as the special person that you are. The WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest was really a fun blast! I was so happy to see E)on and Louise Schmader and their family at Scenic View for the picnic. Don and Louise's son-in-law Gary Rhoads won the second place door prize. Diane and Gary have three sons: Adam practices physical therapy in Florida; Gabe works as a first line manager; and Donald is an airplane pilot. Every year the picnic draws more and more people. Hoping to see more of our Clarion members at the picnic next year. Branch members celebrating October birthdays include Barbara Bauer, Julie Schill, Carl Beckwith, Rochelle Beckwith, Ryan Hartle, Art Aaron, Richard Petrotte, Edward Steiner, John Kuzilla, Myles Callihan, Edward Dechant, James Bauer, Kurt Huefner, Carl Helper, Christopher Black and Joseph Groner. Wishing you a happy birthday and a happy everyday after!

We hope our fellow members and guests at the picnic took a chance on winning the basket filled with products from St. Marys.
