Branch News Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis The groundhog said six more weeks of winter, but we really can't complain so far. We have been spared this year. Please take a moment and pray for all our service men and women, especially those in harm's way. The White Rose Ball in Michigan was beautiful. It was nice to see so many beautiful young women and handsome young men participating in this event again. Thanks to everyone for the great hospitality, especially since we didn't have to come home to snow! The dinner at Rhapsody was delicious, as usual. It was great to see Endre walking so well. Missed you Arlene. A special "Happy Birthday" to branch members Mitzi Berei, Carmella DeBlasio and Becky Williams. May you have many more. Extra special birthday wishes go to my husband Andy. Love you very much. Birthday wishes go out to all branch members celebrating their birthdays. We hope that you all are happy and healthy.

Rakoczy-Przywara What can I say-old Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Feb. 2, Ground Hog Day in Pennsylvania. So, we were supposed to have six more weeks of winter! However, it has been most pleasant here in Windber, and I think Phil must have seen someone else's shadow. Maybe it was Gov. Corbett's; he was at the Ground Hog Day festivities. However, whatever kind of weather we will have until Spring finally arrives, tried and true Pennsylvanians know how to deal with it. I am writing this on Feb. 5, a Su-Among those attending Branch 88's Founders Day party were: (front, l-r) John Toth, Joseph Chobody and Endre L.

I'm sure most of the country was glued to their television sets for the big game between the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and the New York Giants and Eli Manning. I was hoping to see a great game. Well, Super Bowl XLVI is now history, and the New York Giants won the game—and if you were watching, I'm sure you will agree it was a GREAT game! Don't forget to send me those items you would like to see included in our Branch 59 new reports in upcoming issues of William Penn Life, and don't hesitate to call me with any questions about the Association and its life insurance and annuity plans. My number is 814-509-6190 in Windber. Please remember in your prayers all those with afflictions. Also, please remember to pray for all of our military personnel, that one day they will all return home safely. God is listening. Finally, to all those celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, I wish you a great and happy day. My only granddaughter turns eight on Feb. 16. She is a sweetheart in every sense of the word and a juvenile member of WPA. Happy Birthday, Sammie!
