Branch News on being named one of 2013's Top Doctors by Pittsburgh Magazine. Many of us who are lucky enough to be Dr. Finikiotis' patients know he is one of those rare doctors who actually cares about his patients and spends time getting to understand their lifestyles and their interests. He wants to understand the entire picture before rendering treatment. He has been responsible for extending the lives of many of our members with his thorough knowledge and expertise. Branch 89 is proud to have not only Dr. Finikiotis but his entire family as members in our branch. We are glad to see that Dr. Finikiotis is getting some well-deserved recognition. The 2nd Annual Branch 89 Golf Outing and Dinner was held at the Westwood Golf Club on Saturay, Aug. 17, a little too late for this issue's deadline. However, we will have a full report in the next issue of William Penn Life. In keeping with the spirit of fratemalism and giving back to the community, all proceeds from this outing benefited the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. Branch 89 is also collecting codes from Coke products. These codes will be turned into points which can then be redeemed for various merchandise and prizes to be used at our outings. The points add up fast for valuable prizes, such as gift certificates and tote bags. So far, we have collected and redeemed more than 5,000 Coke Rewards points. Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to our Golf Outing Coordinator and Branch Auditor Mark Maskarinec at maskarinacl836@comcast. net. Or, you can mail your points to Mark at 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. Branch 89 continues to thank WPA and its officers for their continued support and hopes everyone will be able to get out and truly enjoy the last days of summer. Upcoming events for our branch include dinner at Dave & Buster's in Homestead. Talks are also in the works to have a branch trip to Las Vegas next year. We also are working on plans to honor our 50-year members. The time, place and further details will be announced soon. Watch future issues of this magazine for details of our upcoming branch activities. Please contact our branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities. We'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412-461-5812. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hope everyone has been enjoying the warm weather of summer. Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 2, and with it comes the unofficial end of summer. While fall doesn't arrive until Sept. 22, kids are already back in school and summer vacations are over. Watch your speed and drive safely in school zones. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 3, at Plank's Cafe, 743 Parsons Ave., Columbus. We are still in the process of organizing a bus trip to the WPA Picnic on Sept. 7 at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. It is really a great time of fun, food and fratemalism. The cost of the bus trip will be $30 per person. Admission to the picnic for our group is $12 for adults and $5 for students. Children under 12 are admitted free. If interested, please contact Marge Boso at 614-875-5068. On Sunday, Sept. 8, there will be another Soup and Learn Program following the 10:00 a.m. service at the Hungarian Reform Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave., Columbus. Soups will be served at 11:15 a.m. followed by a 90-minute program featuring the life stories of two local Hungarians, Tamas Csajka, who was born in Kassa, Slovakia, and Frank Birinyi, M.D., who was born in Pennsylvania. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this month and all who have new additions to their families. We also extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one. Keep all in your thoughts and prayers. For all your life insurance and annuity needs, please contact Arpad Sibrik at 614-231-8024 or Debbie Lewis at 614-875-9968. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Branch Coordinator Debbie Lewis at 614- 875-9968 or e-mail me at DAL9968@ aol.com. Branch 226 McKeesport, PA by Judit I. Borsay By the time you read this, McKeesport's International Village will have come and gone. Our local Hungarian church sponsored the Hungarian booth, and the William Penn Association Magyar Folk Dancers put on a great show for the audience of more than a thousand people! We're going to pick up where we left off and continue our monthly branch meetings after our summer break. Every Branch 226 member is invited! Join us Thursday Sept. 19. at 6:00 p.m. at Malvene Heyz's home. Call 412-751-1898 for directions and information. Soon we'll be finalizing details for our annual Christmas party. Keep an eye peeled here for more info. Feel free to call Malvene if you have news you'd like to share here. Happy birthday and anniversary wishes go to all our members celebrating their special day. On a more somber note, please keep the victims of 9/11 and their families in your thoughts and prayers. That day's events hurt so many people; let us hope that those events renew a sense of patriotism in us as well as a sense of improving ourselves and our own communities. God bless America. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Anne Marie Schmidt This summer is going way too fast and has been plenty busy. Mark is taking a much needed vacation this month, fishing in Canada. I hope the weather is good, the walleye are biting and the blueberries are ready for picking. Don't worry: he'll be back in plenty of time to run the children's fishing activity at the WPA Picnic with plenty of bait and even some new fishing poles.
