Happy November, everyone! Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It's hard to believe that the holidays are upon us. May you and your family have a very blessed Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the time of year when we are reminded to give thanks for all that God has given us. We have much to be thankful for. I am especially thankful for my family and the close bond we have. I thank God every day for the good health we all enjoy and pray that it continues. My hope and prayer is that all of us will recognize our blessings and share what we can with those less fortunate. We celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11. Let us remember those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Remember to thank a veteran for his or her service to our country. Branch 352 will be holding its Christmas party on Sunday, Nov. 23, at Sports Haven Bowl in Bridgeville beginning at 12:00 p.m. All juvenile members should try to attend and enjoy a day of bowling fun. We are also conducting a food drive as we have done in the past. Please be generous in donating non-perishable food items for the local food bank. Your help is much needed and appreciated. Members of branch 8036 enjoyed a "meet and greet" event at the Green Dance Winery. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month.

Albert Kovács Branch 8036 closed summer with a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon. We hosted a "meet and greet" event in September, which attracted old and new members and friends to the Green Dance Winery near Mount Pleasant. The purpose of the gathering was to rejuvenate interest in branch activities, as the branch has been inactive for many years. It was a perfect day for sitting at the outdoor tables, with the afternoon summer sun shining down and the group renewing ties and making new friends. Arrangements were made by Branch President Jerry Hauser, whose friendly manner helped create instant unity among all present. Continued on Page 28 26 0 November 2014 0 William Penn Life
