The date was not one of the best the branch could have selected for at the same time “Captive Nations Day” was held at Kennywood Park. It was regrettable too that a neighboring branch also held its outing that day. We say is was regrettable for many of us would have liked to attend the other affairs also. In spite of these adverse conditions, the picnic was a success. Many people who. came out to the grove with the intention of staying only a short time stayed on far into the evening hours. A delicious food served may have been one factor. As usual, the Hungarian sausage from member Yasko’s Meat Market was above standard. Another factor was the intimate atmosphere. Everyone had a chance to visit with fellow members, old friends and new ones. As the day came to a close, everyone agreed that this was one phase of the branch’s activities that is worth fostering. Members of the Women’s Auxiliary were in charge of the “goodies.” The following served on the committee; Marge Gallo, Catherine Toth, Marie Vámos, Laura Yasko, Felicitas Kara, Marlene Gallo, Sandra Gallo, and Auxiliary Chairman Schorlis Gotz. Special thanks go to Andrew Gotz, our Chairman’s husband, who worked long hours. We are fortunate to have him in our membership. Finally, many thanks to our loyal members for joining us at our William Penn family reunion. Julia K. Cher, Publicity Member National Women’s Auxiliary Juvenile Members Go to Ocean Resort Allentown, Pennsylvania Branch 90 sponsored a real treat for its Juvenile Members on July 11 when it conducted its youngsters on a tour of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The thirty-one youngsters were given spending money for the tour. It was heartwarming to see them buying little presents to take back home for portance, all Branch 108 members are urged to be present at this meeting to make known their opinions on the proposed merger.
