Branch News I would be remiss if I did not congratulate the new Branch 296 recipients of William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation grants: Nathan Dinzeo, Tara Grossman, Zachary Middleby and Gregory Varga. Our renewal recipients are: Sydney Blankenship, Leanne Lovász, Courtney Mager, Lauren Ratkiewicz, Nicole Reynolds and Elise Zavadak. We wish you all a tremendous 2012- 2013 academic year. We're proud of you, and we'd like for you to keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Just a reminder, if you're continuing with your undergraduate education next fall, look in William Penn Life or on the WPA website to request another WPFASF scholarship grant. The rules and guidelines will be published in both places in January 2013. Welcome to our newest Branch members Niko Casagrande, Willow Lott and Tyler Weismantle. We hope to see you at our upcoming branch Christmas party and other WPA events. Happy birthday and anniversary greetings to my husband, John. I cannot forget those special days because they are so close together! Love you. Our annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest is now a "damp" memory. The rain fell, but it was still amazing to see the wonderful turn out. Our volunteers did a tremendous job, and we very much appreciate how they help time and time again. Remember, our branch meetings are always held on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at Kings Family Restaurant in New Kensington. The dates of our next two meetings are Oct. 11 and Nov. 8. We hope to see you there. Please let me if you have any news that you would like for me to share in our monthly branch news articles.

My only hope is that we do not have an early winter. Fall weather is so pleasant, and you can't beat the beautiful colors of the changing leaves. God paints such a scenic picture for all of us to enjoy. Unfortunately, we all know what comes after that. The 12th Annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal-Fest is now history. The rain did not deter anyone from having a wonderful time. Many comments were overheard that the food this year was particularly delicious. A lot of time and love goes into making all of the food from scratch. Many thanks to the hands who worked so diligently to prepare and serve the food. I know you worked long and hard so that others might have a good time, and everyone certainly appreciates it. It's hard to believe that it's time for Halloween already. Make sure all the little ones have bright costumes that can be seen at night. WPA will again be sending out a safety gift for all of the juvenile members to be used on Halloween. We send our best wishes to Arlene Csornán who is recovering from surgery. Arlene, take good care of yourself and get well soon. Just remember that it takes time for your body to heal, and that's something you can't rush. God loves you, Arlene, and so do we.
