Former Branch Vice President Anthony Digiulio and his wife Eleanor have moved to Windber, Pa. to be close to family. We wish them the best and want them to know we miss them. We have received thank you's from the five recipients of our branch's Holiday Baskets. We had so many requests for baskets that we distributed five baskets instead of our usual three. We thank the Home Office for its help in making this program possible. Plans for this year's branch Christmas party are still being made. We will contact our members when everything is finalized. Happy birthday to all those celebrating their special day this month. Happy anniversary to all celebrating couples, especially A1 and Olga Wansa, who are celebrating their 70th anniversary.

Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank After a winter of bitter cold and large amounts of snow, we have the arrival of the baseball season. Here in central Pennsylvania, we are fortunate to have the Altoona Curve, the AA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. My wife and I will be looking to see the many Branch 800 families attending games throughout the season in a most beautiful baseball stadium. It is handy and easy to get to. Good luck to the Curve. The annual Join Hands Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 1. It's a day when young and old get together to pick a project that makes a noticeable difference in their community. This is real fraternalism. At our branch's May meeting we will set aside time to honor our new 50-year members. The Home Office will be notifying our branch which members qualify for this honor. The WPA is accepting applications from life benefit members for grants through its scholarship foundation for the year 2010-2011. Please read the eligibility rules found on Page 21 to see if your son or daughter is eligible. Applications must be postmarked by May 31. Please remember in your prayers all our deceased branch members, especially Phyllis Aiken, wife of Branch Auditor Bob Aiken. May all rest in peace with the Lord. It's springtime now, and that means Pennsylvania anglers are ready for April 17, the beginning of trout season. So, get all your fishing equipment ready and have a big catch. Enjoy the pleasant and quiet outdoors while casting on the banks of rivers or lakes. Good luck to all. Call Bob Jones in Altoona at 814- 942-2661 for all your life insurance and annuity needs.
