Branch News Members of Branch 705 hang their “helping hand" in recognition of the branch's donation to the Boiler Campaign at St. Mary Catholic Church in Kenosha, Wise. Fraternalism brings warm friendships, but here in Wisconsin, where we had a record number of belowzero days last winter, the new boiler system, once installed-thanks in part to the generosity of William Penn Association-will surely bring warmth to the students, teachers and parishioners this coming year and for many years to come. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Dave Greiner Branch 800 is getting ready for our annual summer picnic to be held Wednesday, Aug. 6, at Highland Park starting at 6:00 p.m. It's not too late to make a last-minute reservation. Call Vince at 814-695-0213. This is a catered event featuring lots of great picnic favorites. We look forward to seeing our members and having a great evening of relaxation and fraternalism. August is a wonderful month for our branch members to socialize by attending an area sporting event. Locally, you can attend an Altoona Curve baseball game. We hope everyone also gets the chance to see the Pirates at PNC Park. Plus, Steelers training camp is now in full swing with preseason games starting soon. We in the Altoona area are fortunate to also have two amusement parks close by: Delgrosso's and Lakemont. Both provide a great family atmosphere and would be fantastic ways of enjoying August before sending the kids back to school. Branch 800 hopes all WPA members plan on attending the 14th Annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 6 at Scenic View, Rockwood, Pa. Our branch is in summer recess, but don't forget to call Bob Jones at 814-942-2661 for all your life insurance and annuity needs Until next month, enjoy the last of summer. Member Sarah Malloy and the pop tabs she collected for Ronald McDonald House. Branch 8340 Baltimore, MD by Sarah Grace Malloy The Ronald McDonald House was very thankful for the more than 60 pounds of pop tabs I collected as my Silver project for Girl Scout Troop #3198. The funds they receive for recycling the tabs will help families that have a child in the local hospital. I thank the following WPA members for sharing the fraternal spirit and making this possible: Barbara House and the members of Branch 18, Bill Bero, Andy McNelis, Lisa Toth-Maskarinec and my grandparents, Betty and A1 Vargo, and friends from their church.
