Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey It's hard to believe that it's time for Halloween already. Make sure all the little ones have bright costumes that can be seen at night. William Penn Association will again be sending out a safety gift for all of the juvenile members to be used on Halloween. We congratulate the members of Branch 352 who received a William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation grant for the 2016/2017 school year. They are: Rachael A. Bowers, Angelina M. Buechler, Emily N. Kurzawski, Corey A. Lazor, Alexandra D. Maldonato, Otto E. Nagengast, Anthony V. Palumbo, Dana R. Palumbo and Katlyn M. Puskar. We wish all of you much success as you continue your education. Remember to "pay it forward" and donate to the scholarship foundation after you graduate. Do your part to help make WPA scholarships available to other students in the future. We congratulate all of the students who received a scholarship grant this year. The WPA Picnic was a huge success once again. More than 600 people enjoyed a day of good food, great fellowship and beautiful weather. The Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram was the location of this year's picnic. The grounds of the Cultural Center are beautiful, and the food their members prepared was excellent. Many thanks to the hands who worked so hard to prepare and serve the food. I know you worked long and hard so that others might have a good time. Thanks also go out to all of the volunteers who helped to make all things run smoothly. Look in the next issue of William Penn Life for details about the children's Christmas party our branch holds each year in November. Happy birthday wishes to all those who have a birthday this month. May you have many more, and may all of them be healthy. Our prayers and condolences to all those who have lost a loved one recently. We especially offer our sympathies to the family of Margaret H. Boso, former National Director and Auditing Committee member. Marge was a great lady, and everyone who know her, loved her. We welcome all new members of Branch 352. Remember, if you have any news to share or need help with any insurance questions, please contact me at 412-932-3170 or by email at dmckinsey@hotmail.com. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Dave Greiner It's October, a very scenic month in Pennsylvania as the leaves change color. Pennsylvania's numerous mountains make our state a very beautiful place to see and enjoy the fall colors. Once again, Branch 800 had an interesting meeting in September as members caught up on all this past summer's news and prepared for fall and winter activities and events. The branch thanks Vice President Dan Greiner for presiding over our meetings until our elections are held. Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month AND Clergy Appreciation Month? Let's show our local clergy, especially pastors, that we appreciate all they do daily for us. Other October days of note include National Golf Day (Oct. 4), Columbus Day (Oct. 10) and International Newspaper Carrier Day (Oct. 11). And, note that the second week of October is Fire Prevention Week. We in Altoona thank the Altoona Curve for a great season. They made the playoffs where they lost in the divisional series to Akron. Nevertheless, we can't wait for next season! Branch 800 wishes all our favorite football teams good luck as the season begins. We in Altoona wish Bishop Guilfoyle High School good luck as they try to continue the state's longest active winning streak. We also wish Penn State, Pitt and the Steelers good look this season. One final sports note: We wish the Pittsburgh Penguins well as they begin their new season as defending Stanley Cup Champions. As we get near the end of the month, we know all children look forward to Halloween. We hope all of our children can have a safe night of trick-or-treating. Remember, Halloween is not a state holiday, but it is time for one and all to have fun. Branch 800 extends birthday and anniversary wishes to all members celebrating a special day this month.
