Branch 14 thanks WPA scholarship grant recipients Halle Üveges, McKenna Klodnick and Spencer Klodnick for sharing their stories and activities with us. Thanks also to Otto Nagengast of Branch 352, who always has the most interesting stories of his many trips to Africa. Travel safe. Congratulations and best wishes to all of our students on their studies and achieving their goals. You make us proud. Please remember the WPFA Scholarship Foundation accepts donations throughout the year. In addition, as your children grow into young adults, their juvenile insurance certificates can be converted into adult life certificates when your student reaches the age of 25. Just because they are becoming young adults doesn't mean that their insurance needs end. Converting their juvenile certificates will ensure them of continued WPA insurance coverage into their adult years and allow them to continue enjoying fraternal benefits such as receiving William Penn Life and full eligibility in our fraternal functions. The officers of Branch 14 extend our sympathy to those Branch 14 and WPA members who have recently lost a loved one. Get well wishes are being sent to all Branch 14 and WPA members who might be feeling under the weather. We send get well wishes to Marge Molnár and to WPA National Director Roger G. Nagy. Please keep all of our members in your prayers. Happy birthday and happy anniversary wishes are being sent to all of our branch members and Home Office staff who are celebrating a July/August birthday and/or anniversary.

Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy August. Summer is more than half over. I hope you have done all the wonderful warm weather activities you had planned. You still have a few weeks left, so you better get going before Old Man Winter returns. I hope some of those activities include attending our Hungarian Heritage Experience. We have so many new things planned for you, and, yes, some of last year's fun things will return. Special thank you to David Valentine for making the wonderful hurka and kolbász that you will be enjoying. I already have tried it, and it's wonderful. We had another wonderful Join Hands Day. Thirty-four Branch 18 members dug in the dirt and had a great time. We started at the Hungarian American Cultural Center, then went to St. Michael's Church to plant more and have lunch. After lunch, some of us went to Paragon, a school for disabled citizens. Paragon is new to us but will be added to our list for next year. Thank you all. Congratulations to Joseph Gall on the birth of his new grandson, Oakley. Another new member to the Gall family and William Penn Association. William Penn Life 0 August 2015 0 17
