Branch News those not feeling up to par, espe­cially Alice Nagy, Susan Willis, Ethel Kripchak, Violet Sarosi, Mary Rose Purton and David Chakey. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who recently lost a loved one. We hope some of our readers will be able to visit the Nationality Rooms at the University of Pitts­burgh while the rooms are decorated for the Christmas season. A good time to visit would be during the rooms' annual open house, which will be held Sunday, Dec. 4. For your life insurance and annu­ity needs, please call either Kathy at 330-746-7704 or Alan at 330-482-9994. Branch 34 Pittsburgh, PA by Marguerite McNelis Happy Veterans Day! Happy Ma­rine Corps birthday to my husband and all Marines. Remember in your prayers our servicemen and women both here and overseas. Happy and blessed Thanksgiving to everyone. Thank you Branch 296 for the warm welcome! It was very enjoy­able visiting with everyone and good to see Harry and Joyce. The food, the kolbász and bacon were delicious. Mitzi, it's good to have you home again. Happy and healthy birthday wishes go out to everyone celebrat­ing their birthdays in November. Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 349 Weirton, WV by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches in Martins Ferry, Ohio, and Weirton, W.Va. Congratulations to Branch 40 member Austin Kowalski who was selected as a new recipient of a William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation grant for the 2016-2017 school year. We wish you much success in your college life and throughout your subsequent career. Study hard but also enjoy your time in college. We encourage everybody to support the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation. Your donations provide financial assistance to eligible WPA student members like Austin and many oth­ers. Harry and I attended the Branch 296 Springdale, Pa., bacon roast in Oakmont. What a beautiful setting for a great picnic. All the members and guests attending made us feel so very welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious, too. In fact, we exercised some of it off on the walk­ing track surrounding the park... then went back for desserts. Thank you, Branch 296; we had a wonder­ful afternoon with fantastic weather and great company. Keep in mind that our branch Christmas party is scheduled for Sat­urday, Dec. 3, at King's Restaurant, located at the intersection of Routes 22 and 43 in Wintersville, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. You'll enjoy food, fun and fellowship with your fellow WPA members and children. All of our branch members are invited to attend this open house "Breakfast with Santa." So, stop by while you're Christmas shopping, say hello, have some fun and start out your day with a good breakfast. Santa will give a treat bag to all branch chil­dren attending. We wish happy birthday to all those bom in the month of No­vember, and there are many: Na­tional Vice President-Secretary Jerry Hauser, National Sales Director Bob Bisceglia, National Director Michael J. Chobody, and Home Office staff­ers Mary Ann Kelly-Lovasz, Chris­topher Kovalchuk, Steve Evans and Denise Hurley. Also, happy anniversary to all those celebrating this month. We also pray for those who are sick or recuperating from illness. Cool, crisp weather is once again upon us. We thought it would never get here. The leaves have turned beautiful colors and Thanksgiv­ing will soon be here. We have so many blessings to be thankful for, so take the time to enjoy the holiday and praise God for all that He has bestowed upon you. Remember to say an extra prayer for our young men and women in the armed forces for Veterans Day on Nov. 11. Whether they are based in the U.S. or abroad, many won't be able to be with their loved ones dur­ing the upcoming holidays. For additional information about branch activities, or to let us know about events going on in your fam­ily, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 44 Akron, OH by Elizabeth Darago It's autumn in Ohio! The pumpkins are being made into yummy pies, and the apples have been picked from the orchards. I bought my first gallon of this year's apple cider from Amish Country last month. I also made ter pet ős pogácsa (crackling biscuits) from cracklings I found in a meat market in Amish Country. A one-day trip turned into a Hungar­ian tradition. That is autumn at its best! Branch 44 is getting ready for the coming holiday season. Your branch officers have been collecting and storing non-perishable food items for our branch's Holiday Baskets, and we've secured the date for our family holiday brunch and party: Saturday, Dec. 10, at the Golden Corral on South Arlington Street. The deadline for party reservations is Dec. 6. We understand that Santa Claus has reviewed his busy sched­ule and promises Rudolph and the rest of his reindeer will whisk him to our party. If any members want to help wrap presents to be distributed during the party, we will be getting together to wrap them on either Dec. 8 or 9. Watch your mail for the Christmas newsletter in November and be sure to reserve your place at our party. Don't forget to bring your non-perishable food items for the Holiday Baskets. Come and enjoy great food, fun and fraternalism. We hope you enjoy all your favorite fall activities, and that your favorite football teams have winning seasons!
