Branch News Members of Branch 129 partnered with volunteers from the YMCA in Urbancrest, Ohio, to work on a Join Hands Day project together. members from Florida come up to golf in this event. We have hole sponsors from as far west as Iowa, as far south as New Orleans and Atlanta, and as far north as New York City. Which golfer will come the furthest this year? It promises to be a very fun event and will benefit many. If anyone has any questions about the event, please call Golf Coordinator Mark Maskarinec at 412-872-5022. We're also looking for hole sponsors and volunteers for this event. As a highlight to the golf banquet, we are planning to honor the two oldest members of Branch 89. We have found the two oldest members, a male and female, and will be contacting them to make all of the arrangements for them to be honored at this banquet. Thanks also to those members and guests who attended our First Annual Night at the Ballpark. It was a nice night despite the rain, and a good time was had by all. Plus, the Pirates won! We extend get well wishes to Branch President John S. Toth Jr., who was under the weather, and to Branch Secretary-Treasurer Ruth Toth, who suffered a fall in her home. Both are recovering. We also extend a belated 4th of July birthday wish to our very own Rudolph F. Phillips. May you have many more happy and healthy birthdays. Also, belated anniversary wishes to my husband, Mark, who is also the events coordinator for our branch. Hard to believe it's been 7 years. How time flies. Branch 89 continues to collect 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. Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to Mark at maskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. Please contact the branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we will try and do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412- 872-5022. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Summer has been wonderful so far this year. The weather has been really nice with low humidity and not too much rain. We hope that will continue throughout the rest of the summer. Labor Day, which marks the unofficial end of summer, will be on Monday, Sept. 1. Fall will be here before we know it. We would like to wish a warm welcome to our newest branch member, Robert Seifert. On Sunday, Aug. 10, after the 10:00 a.m. service, there will be a program at the Hungarian Reformed Church, 365 E. Woodrow Ave., Columbus. Soup will be served at 11:15 a.m., followed by a program. Since April, there have been 15 Hungarian college student interns in various cities studying Hungarian life in the US. Two will be here in Columbus to discuss their experiences. Our next branch meeting will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at 5:00 p.m. It will be at the Hungarian Reformed Church, 365 Woodrow Ave., Columbus. Hope to see you there. Don't forget to make plans to attend the WPA Picnic to be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. Mark your calendars for our annual Christmas party to be held Saturday, Dec. 6. We will mail out more information in November. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families. Get well wishes go to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery. We also extend our sincere sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one. For all your life insurance and annuity needs, or if you have any news you would like to share, please contact Debbie Lewis at 614-875-9968 or e-mail DAL9968@aol.com. Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt As I write this, the WPA Golf Tournament is only days away. I most likely won't be getting a hole-inone, but you can bet that if I did hit the big cash prize, there would be the nagymama of all bacon fry's in Dayton! In any case, I know I will get what may be more valuable than cash at the golf tournament—the pleasure of meeting old friends and making new friends, both at the welcome reception before and at the barbeque after golfing. Too bad my golf game doesn't bring more pleasure. Locally, there will be a pig roast at St. Stephen Catholic Church on Aug. 17 at 1:00 p.m. Contact Michele Daley-LaFlame at 937-275-5970 for more info and reservations.
