Branch 8 of Johnstown, Pa., since 1889, wishes that all members who had Sick Benefit rider are satisfied with the way it’s being handled. Each member whose benefits were less than $200.00, you should have received a check for that amount as of June 1, 1984.

Those members who had Sick Benefits of more than $200.00, should have received a letter from our National President John Sabo, stating that amount was changed to a Paid-Up Life Insurance Benefit effective 6/1/84. This letter should be placed with your insurance policies.

Members who paid Sick Benefit only once a year, will not be billed in the future for Annual Sick Benefit premium dues.

Those members who were paying Sick Benefits along with their policy premiums will notice a decrease of premiums in their next premium due notice.

ATTENTION: Members of Somerset County (Except members of Branch 52 and 59) who have policies of following such as Verhovay, Rákóczi, American Life, Sick Benefit Federation of E. Pittsburgh, and Catholic Knights of St. George. You are all cordially invited to attend our Branch 8 meetings, held every 2nd Sunday at 2 P.M. If you have any questions, feel free to call or write.

Fraternally yours,

Steve & Vera Petruska

The National Bowling Tournament is now over and once again, many of you came home winners. Congratulations to all of you!

Being on the subject of bowling . . . if you are interested in joining a bowling league, please call Betty Holguin at 291-2882 or call the Social Club and tell them you are interested in joining the Wm. Penn Bowling League.

As we mentioned in our last issue, the Social Club was sponsoring a “Buy One and Get One Free Dinner” on May 1st. Well... let me tell you, it was a complete sell out. The food of chicken paprikas and stuffed cabbage was indeed delicious. People that attended this dinner, did not really want to leave, but the people kept coming in and we had to make room for them too. Sorry to say that many missed out, but when they found out, they want to be sure to attend the next one. Please watch for your Newsletter, as to the date of the next dinner.

“Mother’s Day” was also a beautiful day for all that attended the dinner at the Wm. Penn Social Club. Mothers were “pampered” and most of all . . . loved by her family. The Club presented each mother with a carnation.
