At our November meeting, we held the election of branch officers and the following were elected: David M. Kozak, president; David S. Kozak, vice president; and Dorothy Kedves, secretary-treasurer. On Dec. 2 we held a great Christmas party. Santa Claus gave out a bag of goodies to all the children and listened to their requests. Our guests enjoyed pork and sauerkraut, hot dogs, pizza, wings, chicken dippers, salad and sweets. Janel Kozak was there to do crafts with the children. A special thanks to the Home Office for all the wonderful supplies, calendars and gift cards to McDonalds. The only thing missing was snow. We wish more members would attend this nice party. Don't forget to keep in your prayers our servicemen and women, members of WPA who have passed away and members who are home bound.

Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 248 Monaville, WV Branch 349 Weirton, WV Branch 8164 Steubenville, OH by Joyce Nicholson Happy New Year from the WPA branches of Barton, Martins Ferry, Weirton, Steubenville and Monaville! The beginning of a new year offers a blank canvas on which we can start to paint a beautiful picture of what we expect to see and do for the upcoming year. We've accomplished so much in 2012, but we can only grow and continue to do more in 2013. Never rest on what you've done, but strive to do more. We will continue to look toward having more fun and doing more with our local branches through this year. Once again our branches participated in the WPA Holiday Basket program. Branch volunteers delivered food baskets the week before Christmas. Those who received the food baskets are very thankful for the generosity of William Penn Association. We had our Christmas party on Dec. 2 at the Pizza Hut party room in St. Clairsville, Ohio. Santa saw many new faces this year, including Ashton Bethel's brand new baby brother. His name is Cole, and he was only seven weeks old. On Dec. 1, we donated a gift basket to the Red Cross and Literacy Council for their holiday auction fundraisers, which help both local chapters. To all WPA members, their families and everyone at the William Penn Association Home Office, we extend our sincere wishes for a happy new year. For information about our branch activities, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. We will also continue to post our branch activities in these monthly news articles.
