Branch News Branch 249 celebrates St. Stephen's Day with our annual branch dinner at 1:00 p.m. at the American Czechoslovakian Club, 922 Valley St., Dayton. The ladies will be hard at work cooking the delicious, traditional chicken paprikás dinner, ending with pastries. WPA members are free, and guests are $10. Please call Michele Daley-LaFlame to make your reservations so we can plan the amount of food needed. There is a branch meeting at noon, so come early and hungry. The Magyar Club of Dayton will have an annual bacon fry Sept. 7 at noon, tentatively scheduled for Sinclair Park located at Riverside Drive and Shoup Mill Road. Please bring a covered dish and beverage. The club will supply the bread, bacon and trimmings. I hope I see you at the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest Sept. 6, at Scenic View. There will be all-youcan-eat pörkölt, dumplings, gulyás, kolbász, bacon fry, beverages, beer and hot dogs. There also will be live music, dancing, a huge Chinese auction, raffles, hayrides, children's games and, of course, fishing. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and new additions to their families. Get well wishes go to all who have been sick or hospitalized, especially Annie Kertesz. Please keep her in your prayers. We extend our sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Mary A. Kelly-Lovasz Our Branch bacon roast has returned! Please join us on Sunday, Sept. 28, at 1:00 p.m. at Riverside Park in lovely Oakmont. We'll be directly behind Riverview High School, located at the end of the Hulton Bridge. You may park in the school parking lot and walk down Congratulations to Branch 249's newest couple, Greg and Cassie Heitman, who were married May 17, 2014. to our pavilion (it's a short walk), where we'll be waiting for you with smiles and great food. Our branch will provide the bacon, hotdogs and fixings, and we ask you to bring a side dish or dessert to share. I've already decided to bring a crock of my homemade baked beans. Call me at 724-274-5318 or email me at mkelly@williampenmssociation. org to RSVP by Wednesday, Sept. 24, so we'll know how many to plan for. You'll find that Riverside Park is quite a relaxing setting. It has a track for you to walk off your meal, basketball and tennis courts, and a nice playground on the premises for our younger members. Plus, there are plenty of trees and lots of friendly squirrels scampering around. Branch 296 has not had a bacon roast for several years, so we're pretty excited about this. We'll have a great time, and it will be even better when we see YOU! With August's arrival, we send a welcoming "hello" to our newest Branch 296 members. Birthday greetings go to each of our members celebrating this month, including Branch Treasurer Toni Kosheba and Branch Auditor Irene Charles. May each of you celebrate your special day in style and enjoy many good days ahead. Get well wishes go to each of our members who are recovering from illness or injury. And, condolences to those who have recently lost a loved one. Each of you are remembered. My daughter Leanne has returned safe and sound from her Saint Vincent College outreach project to Taiwan and China. She brought back lots of interesting stories and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Any parent who has had a child traveling abroad knows the preparation that's involved prior to the trip and the concern that you have throughout the time that they are away from you. As Leanne's parents, John and I have smiles on our faces and know that it's good having her back with us. While Branch 296 remains on its summer vacation, mark your calendar for our next regular meeting, Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7:00 p.m., at King's Family Restaurant in New Kensington.
