Our hotel was wonderful with lovely rooms and meals. Bowling lanes in the Meadows Casino were the best ever. Everyone bent themselves backwards to insure WPA members had a magnificent weekend, and we did. Thank you to all Home Office employees, National Officers and National Directors who gave their time, treasure and talent. We had a magnificent time. Our buffet had everything from lobster, tenderloin steaks and ribs to chocolate suicide for dessert. The appetizers were the best I have ever seen. We are already working on next year's Family Fun Bowling Weekend. It will all be done William Penn Life 0 June 2012 0 17
