See you there! Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Mary A. Kelly-Lovasz As we enter July, Branch 296 welcomes all of our new members. We want to send out birthday greetings to all of our members, most especially to Joseph Wislie, who is looking forward to celebrating his 97th birthday on July 24. Undoubtedly, Mr. Wislie has seen and experienced quite a bit throughout his lifetime, which is amazing. We certainly wish him—and the entire Wislie family—a happy day and a happy year ahead. On a personal note, I wish my daughter Leanne a terrific 21st birthday. Wlrile I write this, she is preparing to travel to Taiwan and China for several weeks on a community service project with the Saint Vincent College Campus Ministry. Come back safely with lots of stories to share! On May 12, Branch 296 participated in our annual Join Hands Day project for the Ronald McDonald House, located near Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. It was a great success, and we really enjoyed ourselves while doing it. Like last year, we packed snack bags for the residents of the Ronald McDonald House. Toni and Marge Kosheba once again volunteered to shop for us and did a great job of choosing snacks. They seemed like they really had fun during their shopping excursion. Once we got our supplies into King's Family Restaurant, the bag decorating and packing began. We packed even more bags than last year and were happy to do so. Diane and John Torma then took the snack bags to the Ronald McDonald House, where they were received with smiles and open arms. Participating in this Join Hands Day project is very satisfying, and we thank everyone who lent a hand. We're looking forward to having YOU join us next year! Bacon Roast Update: We've looked into several venues for our roast/ picnic and will make a decision soon about where and when it will be. Most likely, it will be in late September or early October, while the weather is still pleasant. Look here for more details next month. Branch 296 is still on its summer recess. Please plan to join us at our next regular meeting, Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7:00 p.m. at King's Family Restaurant in New Kensington. Maybe we'll see you at the golf tournament that's just around the comer. Remember our awesome agent, Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF, at 412- 821-1837 or at noreenbunny.fritz@ verizon.net for your life insurance and annuity needs. Have a safe and happy Independence Day, and take good care. Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey Happy 4th of July! Hope you all witness amazing fireworks this year. We need to reflect on the real reason for our celebrations, though. Too often, we take our independence for granted, not even thinking about the rights and privileges we enjoy here in America. Let us not forget the sacrifices made in the past and those still being made today to keep this great country the "Land of the Free." The 31st Annual WPA Golf Tournament and Scholarship Days will be held July 18 and 19 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa., with hotel rooms at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. A miniature golf tournament is being held this year 22 ° July 2014 ° William Penn Life
