Branch News Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Mary A. Kelly-Lovasz Hope each of you have been tolerating this hot summer we've been having. Whatever you're doing outdoors, don't overdo it! Keep drinking plenty of fluids, and don't forget the sunscreen. WPA's 29th Annual Golf Tournament and Scholarship Days is a memory now, and I am amazed that we're on the cusp of our third decade of this fun, fraternal event. I remember our first tournament, and it only seems like yesterday! Happy belated anniversary wishes to Diane and John Torma and heartfelt belated birthday greetings to my daughter, Leanne. Our next branch meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at King's Restaurant in New Kensington. Looking forward to seeing you. As always, contact me if you have any branch news that you would care to have me write about, at: makelly367@verizon.net or at 724-274- 5318. Until next month, stay cool! Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey It's hard to believe that it's August already and that the kids will soon be going back to school. Shopping for school clothes and supplies keeps families busy this month. Some schools even start classes in August. Did you know that August is "National Picnic Month"? Hope you get a chance to schedule a picnic or two this month and enjoy the lazy, hazy last days of summer. The annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest will be held on Sept. 8 at Scenic View. Plan on attending this fun, food-filled event. There's something for all ages, including children's activities, a fishing contest at the lake, music, dancing and, of course, the best Hungarian food around. Congratulations to Branch 352 member Wilburn Roby for winning Puzzle #83 of our monthly puzzle contest. More than 350 entries are received each month. Best of luck to all who enter. Remember to let me know if you participate in any type of charity event or volunteer anywhere so that we can report it in William Penn Life and can all applaud your willingness to give of yourself to help others. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month! May you have many more, and may all of them be healthy. Our condolences to those who have lost a loved one. May your memories sustain you through this difficult time. If you have any questions or need assistance with any of your insurance needs, please contact me at 412-319-7116 or e-mail at dmckinsey@ hotmail.com. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank Labor Day will be observed on Monday, Sept. 3. It's the last summer holiday, in which we honor all workers. What's so nice about it is that we have a three-day weekend to celebrate. Make your plans with your friends to have an outside grill ready to cook some good food in celebrating this workers' holiday. Branch 800 officers congratulate all branch members celebrating a birthday or anniversary during this month of August. Good health to all of you. Let us never forget that tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001. Some of you may have had a friend who perished in the devastation in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. May they all rest in peace with the Lord, as we remember. Our men and women in the military are always in need of our prayers as they protect us. What a big sacrifice they make in leaving their homes so that we may live in our homes back here in the US. Do you have children or grandchildren who are in need of good life insurance? Call Bob Jones at 814-942- 2661. He can give you the different plans and payment options available through WPA. Are your beneficiaries up to date? That’s a question you may not have asked yourself very often, if ever. But, it’s one you should ask yourself at least once a year. We can’t stress enough the importance of regularly checking the beneficiaries listed on your life insurance certificates. It is the only way to ensure that the people you want to receive the benefits of your life insurance are the ones who will receive it. Think about the changes that have occurred in your life since you purchased your life insurance. Getting married, having children, losing a loved one, getting remarried--all these life changes affect your responsibilities. In some states, divorce may make your beneficiaries null and void. Do the beneficiaries currently listed on your life insurance certificates reflect such changes? If you think you need to update the beneficiaries listed on your certificates—either primary or secondary beneficiaries-contact your WPA representative. Or, call our Home Office toll-free at 1-800-848-7366. William Penn Life 0 August 2012 0 21
