Toth-Maskarinec Branch 89 hopes everyone is surviving this awful blast of winter we've been enduring. At least we had the Olympics as an escape. Plans are underway for our first "Movie Night" to be held at the AMC Loews Theater on the Waterfront to be held on Saturday, March 22. We will get together before the movies for dinner at the Loews Club inside the theater. Choose a movie, dine with your fellow branch members and let's all have a good time. To make reservations, please call Lisa or Mark Maskarinec at 412-872-5022. We will try and get theater seating tickets which also includes a $3.50 discount in the restaurant. Come break those winter time blues and escape winter for a few hours. We need your help! Some of our members have requested we do a "Night at the Casino." If you would be interested in attending, please notify Lisa or Mark Maskarinec along with your preference for a date, and we'll do the rest. Just a few activities in the planning stages for the branch are: • all-night "Cosmic Bowling," • a weekend trip to New York City, • a Night at the Casino, • a branch outing at the ballpark, • and, if there is enough interest, we would like to have a "Dine Around the Area" night. We would choose a different restaurant each month and go there for dinner and some good times. While we may not be as big as some of the other branches, we are still strong, and we look forward to meeting a lot of our members in the upcoming year at some of these events. Also, our annual branch golf outing is still in the planning stages, but it is tentatively set for Sunday, Aug. 10, at the Westwood Golf Club. More information to follow. 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. We have collected and redeemed more than 5,000 Coke Rewards points. In doing so, we will be able to give away higher valued merchandise for next to no cost for the branch. 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. We are also collecting Kellogg's Family Reward's Points this year. The Kellogg's catalog includes an entire section of Wilson Sporting Goods items, many of which are related to golf. The codes are found inside boxes of Kellogg's, Keebler, Sunshine and Morningstar Farms products featuring the Kellogg's Family Rewards symbol on the front. Just cut out the code, mail it to us, and we'll do the rest. Please contact the branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412-461-5812. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hope this month finds everyone in good health and great spirits.
