Branch 8 Johnstown, PA by Dorothy Kedves We held our annual Christmas party Nov. 27 in Oratory Hall in Cambria City. The weather was good; there was no snow, but it rained later in the day. The party was open to all members, especially the children. Santa arrived on time. Goodie bags were handed to all the children as they told Santa all their requests for Christmas. A monetary gift also was given to each child. A delicious lunch featuring kolbasi, hot dogs, pizza, soda, cookies and candy was enjoyed by all. A special thanks to the Home Office for the nice calendars and the usual items they send. The members really look forward to them. Hope Santa was good to all. We all look forward to a healthy, happy new year. Please contact Alexis Yuhas Kozak for all your life insurance and annuity needs at 814-242-0000.

Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 248 Monaville, WV Branch 349 Weirton, WV Branch 8164 Steubenville, OH by Joyce Nicholson Happy New Year from the WPA branches of Barton, Martins Ferry, Weirton, Steubenville and Monaville! This is a very busy time of year for everyone, when the new year signifies a new beginning. We have been able to do so much throughout 2011 and have much to look forward to in 2012. Once again, our branches participated in the WPA Holiday Basket program. The baskets were delivered by branch volunteers the week before Christmas. It's a humbling event when we deliver the baskets. With each delivery, those who receive the food baskets are so very thankful for the generosity of William Penn Association. We had our Christmas party on Dec. 4 at Perry's Glo-Putt mini-putt golf course inside the Ohio Valley Mall. Santa even played a round of mini-golf with everyone this year. The following Saturday, we donated a gift basket to the Red Cross and Literacy Council for their holiday auction fund raisers which help both local chapters. To all members at all WPA branches, to their families and to everyone at the William Penn Association Home Office, our sincere wishes for a happy new year go out to you.

Radvany Branch 13 held its annual meeting and family Christmas party on Dec. 11 at the Hungarian Reformed Church auditorium in Trenton. Branch President Frank J.
