Branch News Continued from Page 23 this issue. Special prayers and get well greetings go out to all our members who are ill. May God's grace carry you through to good health. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday in April. My grandson, James, was born on Friday, April 13,11 years ago. Once again, his birthday falls on a Friday this year. He has been such a joy to our family. Happy birthday, James! Our condolences to anyone who has lost a loved one recently. May your memories sustain you through this difficult time. It can't be stressed enough that everyone should have enough life insurance to cover, at a minimum, your own burial costs. If you would like to discuss additional life insurance coverage, contact me, and I will be able to help you apply for additional insurance. Remember, if you have any news you would like to share, or if you have any insurance questions, please contact me at 412-932-3170 or by email at dmckinsey@hotmail.corn. If you are involved in any volunteer work, please contact me so that your efforts can be recognized in William Venn Life. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Joan B. Ballash Happy and holy Easter to all WPA members. We have entered the season of spring, and the weather is improving. Calling all students enrolling in college this fall: the deadline for submitting your application and essay for a WPFA Scholarship Foundation grant for the 2018-2019 academic year is fast approaching. All application forms and essays must be mailed and postmarked by May 31. Both new and renewal applicants must complete the application and essay. Eligibility rules and an application can be found on pages 24 to 26 of this issue. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain financial assistance for those enrolling in accredited colleges, universities or schools of nursing. This month, we are profiling one of our Branch 800 officers. Branch Auditor John Conti (pictured lefl) was born in Italy and came to the U.S. in 1948. He became a WPA member following the merger of our Association with the former Catholic Knights of St. George. Vince Frank Sr., father of our past branch president, enrolled John. John and his late wife Mary had two children. For many years, John has volunteered at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona. John is a gardener and faithfully attends our branch's monthly meetings and other WPA events. He celebrated his 90th birthday in January. Thank you, John, for your time and efforts. Birthday blessings to Branch Auditor Victor Ballash and to all members celebrating this special day this month. Best wishes also go to all those celebrating an anniversary, engagement, birth or other special occasion. Longtime branch member John "Joe" Burger, 92 years young, was seen out and about with his daughter Jo. They remember enjoying picnics at the former Penn Scenic View. Joe looks forward to receiving William Penn Life each month. He and his late wife Rita raised 10 children. Prayers and get well wishes go out to Bob Jones, our branch treasurer and coordinator, who underwent a second knee replacement surgery. We pray that all our members who are ailing will soon return to health. May those mourning the loss of a loved one, especially the family and friends of Max J. Kessler, find peace and comfort in thoughts of the Resurrection. Has there been any change in your family status? Do you need to increase your life insurance coverage? Perhaps it's time to review your life insurance certificates and annuity contracts. Bob Jones can help you. He can be reached at 814-942-2661. Are your beneficiaries up to date? That’s a question you may not have asked yourself very often, if ever. But, it’s one you should ask yourself at least once a year. We can’t stress enough the importance of regularly checking the beneficiaries listed on your life insurance certificates. It is the only way to ensure that the people you want to receive the benefits of your life insurance are the ones who will receive it. Think about the changes that have occurred in your life since you purchased your life insurance. Getting married, having children, losing a loved one, getting remarried--all these life changes affect your responsibilities. In some states, divorce may make your beneficiaries null and void. Do the beneficiaries currently listed on your life insurance certificates reflect such changes? If you think you need to update the beneficiaries listed on your certificates--either primary or secondary beneficiaries-contact your WPA representative. Or, call our Home Office toll-free at 1-800-848-7366. WILLIAM PENN LIFE 0 April 2018 0 27
