Are your beneficiaries up to date? That’s a question you may not have asked yourself very often, if ever. But, it’s one you should ask yourself at least once a year. We can’t stress enough the importance of regularly checking the beneficiaries listed on your life insurance certificates. It is the only way to ensure that the people you want to receive the benefits of your life insurance are the ones who will receive it. Think about the changes that have occurred in your life since you purchased your life insurance. Getting married, having children, losing a loved one, getting remarried--all these life changes affect your responsibilities. In some states, divorce may make your beneficiaries null and void. Do the beneficiaries currently listed on your life insurance certificates reflect such changes? If you think you need to update the beneficiaries listed on your certificates-either primary or secondary beneficiaries-contact your WPA representative. Or, call our Home Office toll-free at 1-800-848-7366. Branch News Noreen Fritz, our friendly and helpful agent, is ready for 2013 with the answers to all of your life insurance and annuities needs. Noreen can be reached at: 412-821-1837 or noreenbunny.fritz@verizon.net. Until next month, please take care, and I hope to hear from you. Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey Happy New Year to all! May the new year bring us all good health and happy times with family and friends. The thrill of the holiday season is now behind us. Now, it's time to hunker down and get through the winter as best we can. We need to keep our eyes on the promise of spring—renewal of life. Our branch Christmas party was held on Nov. 18, 2012, in conjunction with Branches 34 and 71. Once again, the food and fellowship was enjoyed by all who attended. We requested that attendees bring nonperishable food items to be distributed to a food bank. A total of 168 food items was collected. That is a record number of food items collected since the three branches have been doing this. A great big "thank you" to all those who donated. This year, the food was delivered to the Northside Common Ministries Food Pantry on Brighton Road, just a few blocks from the Home Office. This ministry is a non-profit, community based organization established in 1982 to meet the increasing needs of the homeless population. They operate an emergency shelter for men, the food pantry and a permanent housing program for men with disabilities. Their needs are great, so our donations will be put to good use. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month. Please remember to keep in your prayers those who have lost a loved one.

Branch 8121 St. Marys, PA by Mary Lou Schutz Our annual branch Christmas gathering was held on Dec. 5 at Hoss's Restaurant in St. Marys, Pa. Members enjoyed a delicious meal of their choice. The table favors and surprise gifts from the Home Office were appreciated and added to the evening of good food and renewing fellowship. A short business meeting was held before our dinner. All forms for our annual reports had been received. For our branch Holiday Baskets, monetary donations were sent to the Christian Food Bank of St. Marys for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our members also sent an additional donation to the Food Bank for Christmas. During our meeting we also signed Christmas greetings to former Branch Secretary Peggy Marconi, who now resides at Pine Crest Manor. All present officers were re-elected for 2013-2014. We wish a happy new year to all. All articles and photographs for the February 2013 issue of William Penn Life are due in our office by January 10, 2013. 26 0 January 2013 0 William Penn Life
