Donated supplies give homeless pets hope ON BEHALF of the shelter staff and pets, I would like to thank William Penn Association for your generous contribution of pet and office supplies on July 25, 2013. Your gift helped us help pets like Hope, a stray dog who came to us with severe mange that resulted in painful open sores and major hair loss. You helped us give Hope a second chance—after months of healing in a foster home, we are happy to tell you that Hope has found her new home. Hope is just one of the 11,000 homeless pets that came through our doors this past year who received compassionate care, medical treatment and a chance to find a new home. I'd also like to share with you some of our successes during 2011- 2012: • More than 5,600 pets found their new home. • We saw 6,458 appointments and performed 6,320 surgeries in our low cost animal clinic. • Our four humane investigation officers investigated more than 1,100 cases of animal abuse and neglect, rescuing 357 of them. • Our humane educators visited 3,000 children teaching them compassion, kindness and empathy. • We trained 1,600 pets in obedience making happier and healthier pets and owners. Because we do not receive financial support from the government, we appreciate your thoughtfulness towards the animals in our care. Your kindness truly helps us to make this region a better place for people and their pets. Thank you again for your support.

Your donation allows us to continue our ministries of feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, clothing the naked and so much more. The Urban Mission is the largest charity in the upper Ohio Valley providing food assistance through two monthly distributions, shelter for homeless families through our Hulton House, hot meals through our Unity Kitchen and many other seasonal programs. All our programs are provided free of charge. Thank you again for your donation. Together we can make an impact on a community in need. May God continue to bless you. Sincerely, Rev. Ashley Steele Executive Director Urban Mission Steubenville, OH (Editor's Note: This letter was written in appreciation for donations made by WPA Branches 10, 40, 248, 349 and 8164.) WPA support made youth camp possible ON BEHALF of Calvin Synod, I would like to express our thanks and appreciation for the generosity you have shown in supporting the Hungarian Reformed Youth Camp. We would not be able to realize camp without your support for the young people. The annual Hungarian Reformed Youth Camp [was] held at the Laurelville Mennonite Center July 21 to 27, 2013. Youth camp is one of the most successful joint ventures of Calvin Synod, UCC and the Hungarian Reformed Church in America. Youth camp provides young people with an opportunity to grow in their faith, learn about their Hungarian heritage, develop and be strengthened in moral principles, and have Christian fellowship with one other. Hungarian Reformed Youth Camp is a life changing experience and the highlight of the year for many of our youth. Camp helps to nurture and provide a strong foundation for the future generation. Many pastors and lay leaders work hard and dedicate their time to provide the campers with a valuable and memorable week. Calvin Synod is committed to providing a quality camp experience for our youth. May God bless you, Rt. Rev. Béla Póznán, Bishop Calvin Synod Conference of the United Church of Christ THANK YOU so very much for all William Penn Association has done to help and encourage the youth camp. Words alone cannot express our gratitude for the funding and the awesomely, wonderful dinner you prepared for us. Our hearts were especially touched to find out that William Penn stepped in to cover the deficit we encountered in funding this year. May God continue to bless you all. In Christ, Kathy Smith Via Email ab Q W William Penn Life 0 September 2013 0 3
