Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 248 Monaville, WV Branch 349 Weirton, WV Branch 8164 Steubenville, OH by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches from Barton, Martins Ferry, Weirton, Steubenville and Monaville! The end of 2010 was very hectic but great fun. The food baskets distributed before Christmas brought much thanks and some heartfelt tears from the recipients. Our branch friends collected more than 50 pairs of mittens, socks and scarves for those in need served by Reverend Hitchcock of the Urban Mission in Jefferson County, Ohio. It certainly has been a very cold winter this year. We look forward to this year full of activities and funfilled outings and can't wait for good weather to arrive. Happy birthday to branch members with birthdays this month, and best wishes to members with anniversaries. Our prayers go out to those who may have lost loved ones recently. Please keep in your prayers the members of our armed forces who are far away from their families. For information about branch activities, call me at 740-264-6238. Branch 14 Cleveland, OH by Dawn D. Ward Branch 14 is in winter recess until Wednesday, March 2, at which time we'll meet to plan the 2011 branch agenda. Congratulations to first-time WPA scholarship recipients Alexander Aloi, Kevin Corrigan-Mook, Justin Glass, Taylor Jeromos and Victoria Polgar. High school seniors interested in receiving a WPA scholarship must request, in writing, an application from the Home Office. Refer to the eligibility rules found on Page 12 of this issue for additional information. The WPA scholarship program is one of the many fraternal benefits offered to our members. Many of the young students who receive grants recall the wonderful branch Christmas parties they attended as children. It is always gratifying to publish the accomplishments of WPA's scholarship recipients. Please contact the Ward Agency with information regarding these fine young people. They are the future of William Penn Association. Branch 14 welcomes the following new members: Gary Fougerousse, Diane Fougerousse, Aaron Vangilder, Kaleb Vangilder, Denise Feller, Dominic Moccia, Mary Jane Oliver, Robert Slanina, Zane Chernick and Renee MacGregor.

I hope you spend it with everyone you love. I want to thank my wonderful daughter and son-in-law for all their hard work and love. When we arrived here in Florida, our home was decorated inside and out for the Christmas holiday. We even had a super dinner waiting for us. Now, that's what I call love. Thank you again. We love you. Branch 18 held its election of officers for 2011 at our December meeting. Helen Molnár is vice president; Rose P.
