Branch News and annuity contracts. Until next month, enjoy the changing of the leaves. Let's go, BG Marauders! Branch 8114 Clarion, PA by Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF in Pittsburgh Members of Branch 8114 thoroughly enjoyed themselves during our annual "cook your own steak fry." The charcoal grill was fired up, and the members cooked their own mouth-watering steaks over the hot charcoal briquettes. The smoke for the sizzling steaks filled the fresh summer air. The menu included Texas-sized baked potatoes, tossed salad covered with crushed cashews and poppy seed dressing, fresh-baked yeast rolls, chocolate cake and pastries. YUM! It was an evening of good friends and neighbors laughing and having a great time. The 50/50 raffle was won by Gordon Rice, and he donated his winnings back to the branch. The steak fry would not have been possible without Branch President Kevin Slike and Branch Officers Bob Donahue and Art Aaron. Thank you for the time and energy you spent to make this fraternal gathering a success. You are truly valuable to the branch.
