Can you believe it is already September? Back to school; back to branch meetings; back to our regular schedules. I really enjoy fall and winter more than any other time of year. I hope your summer was great. Here in Michigan, we had a few days that were very warm, but actu­ally, we were cooler than we should have been. Yay! Our branch trip to the Quad Cities was another success. It was a long ride, but most of us saw things we have never seen before. The best parts were the togetherness we shared and the dinner cruise down the Mississippi. I am already book­ing for next year. We will be travel­ing to Traverse City on Sunday, July 27, 2014, and returning on Wednes­day, July 30, 2014. Please mark your calendars and reserve with me as soon as possible. I hope to see all of you at the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 7. Every year gets better and better. Please pray for great weather. Remember to bring us your Chinese auction prizes. All we col­lect from the auction goes straight to our Scholarship Foundation. Speaking of scholarships, what can we do to get our scholarship recipients and other young members to stay active in WPA? We email, we send magazines, we text, but we still do not hear from them. So, recipients, how about this: after you graduate and get settled, why don't you get in touch with us? If not physically, how about mon­etarily? Donate to keep the Scholar­ship Foundation going for others after you. Tell us what we can do to keep you interested in WPA. We'll give it a try. I promise. Last month's William Penn Life was super. Most of your National Directors and Officers wrote beauti­ful articles and sent some beautiful pictures. Nice to have Chef Béla back from vacation. Teresa Toth wrote such a lovely historical article. Nice to hear from her, also. Great pictures, Joyce Nicholson and Kathy Novak. I really enjoyed the Join Hands Day pictures, too. That's what we're all about. Thanks to the Cseh family for all they do. Cute article, Gerry D. Clown. Thanks for taking the time to stay active with us. Get well wishes go out to Ethel Farkas, Helen Molnár, Janet Totsky, and the Wansas and Antals. I had a pretty "ucky" summer, also, but I felt like a celebrity. Thank you to all of you for the food baskets, flowers, fruit, baked goods, Mass cards and get well cards. I'm not quite there yet, but I will be soon. Thank you so much. You don't know how good it feels to be thought of. Special hello to Mary Jane Molnár. You send the best newletters ever. Happy birthday to Kathy Novak, Toni Garafalo, Mrs. Judit Borsay, Sheile Gall, Wanda Gall, Krista Broderick and Mary Ann Deri. Hope William Penn Life 0 September 2013 0 21
