Branch News crackers. So, why not join us for our "assembly line" project? This is an easy and fun project that will warm your heart. Afterwards we'll have a very brief meeting and dessert. We look forward to seeing your happy faces and helping hands! We are pleased to reveal that the beneficiaries of our branch Easter Basket program are nursing students from West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, who will be particiapting in a service project in Nicaragua. A young man from Our Lady of Victory Church in Harwick, Pa., was researching a community service project for the sacrament of confirmation in the Catholic faith and was referred to these West Penn Hospital's nursing students' project. The future nurses will soon travel to Nicaragua to practice their newly-acquired skills and provide much needed vitamins to the local residents. Branch 296 purchased thousands of vitamins as part of the supplies these nursing students will take for their project. It's a remarkable cooperative effort: WPA lends, a hand with funds; the branch members purchase vitamins; the young man collects and delivers the vitamins to West Penn Hospital School of Nursing; the student nurses dispense the vitamins to those in need; and bodies receive nourishment! Thank you, WPA Home Office, for providing these funds. It's just a beautiful thing. Happy birthday and anniversary greetings to each of our 296-ers celebrating in the month of May. Helen Slaninka, we're thinking of you! Also, the very best wishes to our members who are recovering or infirmed; you are in our thoughts and prayers. Irene Charles, we are thinking of you. Congratulations to Megan and Chris Keller, brand new parents who recently welcomed their son Garrett into their lives. He's a sweet little guy! Condolences to those recently experiencing the loss of a loved one, especially Chris Keller, who lost his dear mother, Suzan, right before Garrett's birth. Special congratulations to our members who have recently graduated from college! We're proud of Branch 8036 Coordinator Debbie Hauser presents a basket of supplies to Union Mission Resident Manager, Dan Carney. your accomplishments and wish you well with your future plans for ongoing education and successful employment opportunities. For those interning throughout the summer months, we wish you all the best. Interning can be a valuable learning experience, and we hope that all of your efforts pay off. Happy Mother's Day to all women who are mothers, mothersin-waiting, and those special individuals who have acted in place of a mother. We honor each of them, living and deceased. Remember, everyone needs a mother. For the men and women who sacrificed themselves in the service of our country, we set aside a special day of honor on Memorial Day. Your actions were selfless, and we are grateful.

Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey May has finally arrived and with it warmer weather. We can now look forward to nicer days and enjoy the outdoors. There are two special holidays that are celebrated in the month of May. The first is Mother's Day, which falls on May 8 this year. May all mothers be blessed on this special day, and may you be surrounded by loved ones. The other holiday is Memorial Day on May 30. We must remember the sacrifices made by those who have served in the armed forces in the name of freedom. Remember to thank a veteran for their service. We must also remember those who serve as a policeman or fireman. They, too, are put in harm's way for our safety. May the families of those who have lost a loved one in the service of our country be comforted. Join Hands Day will be officially celebrated on Saturday, May 7, this year. Arrangements for Branch 352's JHD project are being finalized. Please look for further information about our project in the June issue of William Penn Life.
