All members are welcome to attend our meetings. To all, a big Happy Valentine's Day on Feb. 14. Valentine's Day is one of the world's oldest holidays and is celebrated as a wonder of love. Loads of money is spent each year on candy, flowers and cards to celebrate this day. Our branch Christmas party in December was a big success. The good food was plentiful, and the 23 kids and 58 adults in attendance were treated with gifts delivered by Santa Claus himself. A big "thank you" to the Home Office for the gifts and monetary assistance for the party. The holy season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 9. It is a time set aside for Christians to fast and pray in preparation for the Feast of the Resurrection on Easter. Your branch has approved that a $500 donation be made to St. Dismas Parish, located inside the State Correctional Institute at Huntingdon.
