Lovász toll-free at 1-800-848-7366, ext. 135. Wednesday, Dec. 7. Both meetings will start at 7:00 p.m. and be held at the First Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills. • The 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days will be held July 15 at 16, 2016, at the Quicksilver Golf Club. Hope to see you there! • The WPA Picnic will be held Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio located in Hiram, Ohio. • The WPA Tour 2016 to Austria, Croatia and Hungary is scheduled for Sept. 6 to 20. Please check William Penn Life each month for more information about these and other events. We ask that you please continue to support the WPFA Scholarship Foundation. If you or a member of your family received a WPA scholarship, please help pay it forward for another WPA student by making a donation to the Scholarship Foundation. Also remember, 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. Converting their juvenile certificates will ensure them of continued WPA insurance coverage into their adult years and allow them to continue enjoying the fraternal benefits that come with membership in WPA, including home delivery of this magazine and full eligibility and participation in our fraternal events. We encourage all WPA scholarship recipients to keep us updated on what they're doing, both in and beyond school. Our members would love to read about how your careers and lives are progressing. You can send your information to jlovasz@ williampennassociation.org. The officers of Branch 14 extend our sympathy to those members who have recently lost a loved one. May God bless your family at this difficult time, and may our dearly departed members rest in peace. Get well wishes go to all our members and friends who might be feeling under the weather. We send supercharged get well wishes, prayers and God's healing power to National Director and Branch 14 Auditor Albert Frate. A1 has returned home and continues his recovery. Elizabeth (Betty) Hartman has returned home. She is adjusting nicely, continues to improve each day and looks great. It is the power of prayer that helps to sustain us and improve our lives. Please keep all of our members in your prayers. Happy birthday and anniversary wishes are being sent to all our branch members and Home Office staff who are celebrating a July birthday or anniversary. Our next Branch 14 meeting will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 7:00 p.m. at The First Hungarian Reformed Church, 14530 Alexander Road, Walton Hills. WPA Branch 14 adult members are welcome to attend the meeting. Branch members having news to share about themselves or family members can reach me at RichSaro@ att.net or at 440-248-9012. As always, please remember to keep in touch with someone you haven't seen or talked with in a long time. Pick up the phone and plan a visit. Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI by Barbara A. House Happy Independence Day! Be sure to thank our service men and women for fighting for our independence. Thanks to them, we have the greatest country on Earth. Having been to Europe back in the day, I know what it is to not be free. Thank you to all past and present members of our armed forces. Summer has arrived with a vengeance here in Michigan. We went from 40 to 80 degrees in one day. I am a "winter," so bring on the fall. Hooray for wonderful Branch 18! Did someone say Join Hands Day? This year's project was a record breaker. The temperature was in the mid- to high-80s, but still 46 volunteers came out to help. Thanks to all our regulars and many firsttimers. We planted at the Hungarian American Cultural Center, Paragon (a school for disabled citizens) and St. Michael's Episcopal Church. We planted 30 flats, but we needed to buy two more to finish the job. Thank you so much. I was never prouder of each and every one of you. Branch 18 Auditing Committee Chair Ursula Markovits recently underwent treatment for skin cancer. I know some of you visited with her at our bowling tournament. This is a friendly reminder to never forget your sunscreen. Congratulations to all our 50- year members. Pictures from our banquet will be published in the next issue of this magazine. I was looking forward to seeing all of you, especially those I have never met. I hope everyone had a marvelous time. Thank you, Judy Chakey, for all your research. Wasn't June's William Penn Life cover the best ever? That has to be my favorite of all time. Thank you, Kathy, for such a wonderful article; it's a keeper, as many of yours are. I had the pleasure of being among those attending the Calvin Synod Conference in Ligonier, Pa., this May. What a wonderful time we had. The majority of the delegates were Reformed Church ministers, many of whom are WPA members. 20 0 July 2016 0 WILLIAM PENN LIFE
