For Starters In Brief Member earns doctorate in dental surgery We always enjoy hearing about the accomplishments of past recipients of William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation grants. Most recently, we received word that one of our past recipients, Andrea Rose Onderdonk, graduated this May from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry as a doctor of dental surgery. Starting this month, Andrea will begin a one-year general practice residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pa. Andrea, a member of Branch I Bridgeport, Conn., was a WPFA Scholarship Foundation grant recipient from 2003 through 2006 while earning her bachelor’s degree from Keene State College in Keene, N.H. She is the daughter of WPA member Barbara M. Onderdonk. Congratulations, Dr. Onderdonk! Join Hands for Hunger Update We are pleased to report that another WPA branch has joined our effort to fight hunger. Branch 8 Johnstown, Pa., recently made a donation to the St. Vincent de Paul family kitchen in Johnstown. With this donation, a total of 32 WPA branches have made donations of nonperishable food items, household supplies and/or money to community food banks and other charitable organizations in their local communities. We thank the members of Branch 8 and all participating branches for opening their hearts to those in need and spreading the Fraternal Spirit.
