Our branch continues to collect codes from Coke products. These codes will be turned into points which can then be redeemed for various merchandise and prizes which we will award at our branch outings. We have collected and redeemed over 8,000 Coke Rewards points. Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to me at maskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. We are also collecting Kellogg's Family Rewards Points. Look for boxes of Kellogg's, Keebler, Sunshine and Morningstar Farms products with the special insignia. Just cut out the code, mail it to us and we'll do the rest. As we approach the 4th of July, we encourage all to celebrate responsibly. Most importantly, take time to remember all those brave men and women who gave so much of themselves to keep our country safe. We truly do live in the land of the free and brave and should take time to appreciate what a wonderful country we live in. May God truly bless America. Please contact the branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests.
