Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 349 Weirton, WV by Joyce Nicholson I have some interesting news from our branch members, the Skociks. Anna Eversole, granddaughter of Ed and Caroline Skocik and niece of Joe Skocik, spent the month of May in Hungary. She traveled there as a student through The Ohio State University's Maymester study abroad program. Her project for her history and culture studies class was a short video about Margit Island, which lies in the middle of the Danube River in central Budapest. Since vehicles are prohibited on the island, it serves as an escape from the bustle of the big city. It's a great place to work out, swim a few laps, go for a run or just have a picnic. During the summer months, bicycles, inline skates and bringóhintó (a fourwheeled bike for four) are popular items to rent. You can view Anna's video about Margit Island at Youtube.com. Just search for "An Island of Fitness." Anna is majoring in education and will be entering her sophomore year at Ohio State this fall. While Anna was in Hungary, she was thrilled to receive a visit from her grandparents, Ed and Caroline. We extend our best wishes to all members celebrating a birthday or anniversary this month. May you enjoy many more happy days in good health. For information about all WPA and branch activities, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec It's here—summertime, and with it the national pastime (Let's go Bucs!), sunshine, some rain and, yes, golf. Our members are preparing to golf in not only the WPA tournament, but also the Bethlen Communities' and our branch's annual outings. Please make sure to sign up for the Branch 89 event, to be held Sunday, Aug. 9. We hope to see you there. If you don't golf but would like to volunteer, we can use you. It's a nice relaxing day outdoors. We would like to thank those members who took time from their busy schedules to attend our Delegate District election meeting on June 20. The results of the election will appear in the September issue of William Penn Life. We thank all who participated and look forward to an enjoyable and productive convention. We still need your help determining who is the oldest male member of our branch. We wish to honor him at our golf outing. Michael Tobias, please call Branch President John Toth at 412-462-1057. We have been trying to reach you. We believe you are one of the oldest members of Branch 89. If anyone else believes they are the oldest member of Branch 89, please let President Toth know or contact Lisa Toth-Maskarinec. As mentioned previously, our Fourth Annual Golf Outing will be held Sunday, Aug. 9. Please join us at Butler's Country Club in Elizabeth, Pa. We will be joining forces with the Steel Valley Rotary Club in the hope of enlarging our golf outing and seeking potential members for our branch. The price for the outing is $80 per person. For those non-golfers wanting to come to the banquet, the price will be $30. We will have a tremendous Chinese auction and various raffles. One of the top prizes of the Chinese auction is an "Everything Yuengling' golf package, complete with a Yuengling golf bag. All proceeds are split between the Steel Valley Rotary and our branch.
