Branch News The case was considered remarkable due to the unusual size of the tumor and the uncomplicated recovery of the patient. Branch 90 Allentown, PA Branch 98 Bethlehem, PA Branch 216 Northampton, PA by Nancy Kovach Our annual WPA children's Christmas party was held Saturday, Dec. 4, at the McDonald's Restaurant in Emmaus, Pa. We welcomed a large group of guests this year, and the weather cooperated. We all enjoyed lunch and fellowship together. After eating, the children headed to the play area. This gave the adults time to visit with each other. Then Santa arrived with gifts for everyone. The children liked the lighted wands and the candy and fruit. We want to thank the WPA Board of Directors and the Home Office staff for their assistance in helping to make our party another successful one.

Branch 249 held its family Christmas party at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 19. It was one of the largest we've had yet, with a total of 90 people and 35 children. St. Stephens Church undercroft was the site of a delicious buffet and Christmas cookies, which included what was officially voted by the Dayton Daily News as the "Best Holiday Cookie in the Dayton area" in 2010-Hungarian Butter Cookies. But, of course, we already knew that! As the children sang "Jingle Bells," Santa Claus made his annual appearance. He invited the children to sit on his lap and tell him their wish list and to take a picture. Gift bags filled with candies and toys were distributed to all the children. We appreciate the financial assistance from the Home Office, and a big thank you to the branch officers and members who made this year's party a success through planning, Mark your calendars now!
