Several of our branches got together to participate in Join Hands Day on May 7 and the days surrounding the event. The Steubenville branch project was to spruce up the Sam Donaldson Park in Wintersville. We planted flowers, three new trees (White Oak, Redbud and Black Walnut), mulched and weeded. The neighborhood children and parents helped to beautify the park. Our project from the Martins Ferry branch was to visit residents in Rosewood Manor Nursing Home in Yorkville, Ohio. Our volunteers had a lot of fun talking and laughing while we baked. We also took a basket of fresh fruit when we visited. The nursing home residents were thrilled to have visitors bringing good food and conversation. Weirton's branch decided to donate children's stuffed toys and blankets to A Caring Place, a local child advocacy center which provides a child-friendly environment to interview and examine child witnesses and victims of abuse. Don't forget Flag Day is June 14, a day to commemorate the adoption of the flag of the United States. So, fly your flag proudly and remember to pray for all who fought for our rights to live freely. We are planning a local picnic to celebrate WPA's anniversary. Additional information will follow in next month's edition of William Penn Life, so check back!
