Branch News Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey What an exciting time of the year, especially for the little ones. The anticipation of Christmas morning is almost too much to bear for the children (and some adults as well). May you have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. I hope we all remember the real reason for the season-the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. May we all give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. I am especially thankful for my family's two new granddaughters, both of whom are new members of the WPA family. They join our other two grandchildren who have been members since birth. The Special Juvenile to Age 25 plan of insurance can't be beat~$20,000 of term life insurance for only $25 a year. Please consider this plan for your children and grandchildren. Let us not forget that the holiday season is especially difficult for those who have lost a loved one. Brighten their day by writing them a short note, letting them know you are thinking of them. A report on our branch Christmas party will be published in the January issue of William Penn Life. Happy New Year! It's hard to believe that another year is almost done. May the new year bring good health and happiness to all. For those celebrating a birthday this month, we wish you a happy birthday. May you have many more and may all of them be healthy. Don't forget that if you have any news to share or if you need assistance with any insurance question, please do not hesitate to contact me at 412-319-7116 or by email at dmckinsey@hotmail.com. Branch 400 Charlotte, NC by Cindy Smith Charlotte is home to many organizations that provide people with answers and assistance when they find themselves in a life changing crisis. One of these organizations, Pregnan-Young members of Branch 400 help prepare the branches gift basket to be donated the Pregnancy Resource Center in Charlotte, N.C. cy Resource Center in downtown Charlotte, is open to women and couples seeking answers and help. PRC has served nearly 50,000 people since opening its doors in 1982. With services provided free of charge, PRC will answer questions and provide much needed items that can be used by the women and couples who enter their doors. As a nonprofit, its resources are greatly affected by the economy, and they rely heavily on community donations and assistance. Branch 400 provided a few items for this much needed cause. In the picture above, some of our littlest William Penn members help prepare the basket of donated items.
