Happy anniversary and birthday to all those celebrating their special day, especially Branch 28 President Steve Novak. Our sincere sympathy to all those who recently lost a loved one.

We have had a bad stretch of summer weather. We had a storm come through on June 29 which left many people in the state without electricity for up to 10 days. In the first week of July, we had many days of record setting temperatures reaching into the high 90's to the low 100's. We hope the rest of the summer will be better. We would like to welcome our newest branch members, Benjamin Irelan and Emmett Relle. We wish to thank the Home Office for its donation to our two Join Hands Day projects. We were able to participate in this program because of your financial help and the help of some of our members. On Sunday, Aug. 12, there will be another Soup and Learn Program after the 10:00 a.m. church service. Soups are served at 11:15 a.m. and the 90-minute program starts around 11:40 a.m. The program will feature a presentation on the Kodály method of teaching choral music, followed by a performance by the Columbus Children's Chorus which sang at the White House in December. The next Soup and Learn Program will be Sept. 9. The topic will be: "Why did so many Nobel Prize winners graduate from Fasori Gimnázium in Budapest?" Labor Day is observed on the first Monday in September, which this year is Sept. 3. This is a federal holiday that was established in 1894. It celebrates the economic and social contributions of our American workers. To many, it also signifies the end of summer. Our next branch meeting will be Tuesday, Sept. 4. Meetings are held at 4:30 p.m. at Plank's Cafe, located at 743 Parsons Ave., Columbus. We are hoping to get more members to attend. Hope to see you there. Don't forget we are in the process of organizing a bus trip for the WPA Picnic on Sept. 8. at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. It is a great time of fun, food and fraternalism. We will be working with the Dayton branch to fill the bus. We will be keeping the cost at $25 per person for the bus. Also, the admission to the Picnic is $10 for adults, $5 for students and free for children under 12. If you are interested, please contact Marge Boso at 614-875-5068. We extend congratulations to all those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this month. Congratulations to all that have new additions to their families. We would like to send get well wishes to all that have been sick or hospitalized, especially to member Linda Albert. Hope all have a speedy recovery. We wish to extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one, especially the Deri family on the loss of member Michael Deri. Keep all in your thoughts and prayers. For all your life insurance and annuity needs, please contact Arpad Sibrik at 614-231-8024 or Debbie Lewis at 614-875-9968. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Branch Coordinator Debbie Lewis, at 614- 875-9968 or email DAL9968@aol.com. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt We've been having hot fun in the summer time in Dayton, Ohio. Once again, WPA outdid themselves by sponsoring a very successful and fun golf tournament. Congratulations to the winners, and to all who participated in the weekend festivities, and especially to the workers who made the event so enjoyable. We look forward to meeting William Penn Life 0 August 2012 0 19
