was vacationing in Australia at the time.

Life is so different from the “north” in southwest Florida. There are orange, grapefruit, and mango trees in back yards. Tiny lizard-like chameleons scurry about in the grass and near trees. To this “northerner” accustomed to “northern grass,” the grass in Florida does not feel “real.” Lawns often have elaborate sprinkler systems permanently built into them. Still, brown lawns seem to be the rule, rather than the exception, even in more up-scale neighborhoods.

While visiting in Lehigh Acres, another retirement community near Ft. Myers, I noticed there were over a hundred different clubs in the area. Some were based on ethnic background—the German Club, the Irish Club, etc. Some were based on where people had lived before coming to Florida—the Ohio Club, the Pennsylvania Club, the Michigan Club, etc. Such is life in “the sunshine state.”

At our January meeting cash door prizes were won by AI Bartfay and George Tokár. At our February meeting, the door prizes were won by John Nadalin and Mike Deri. Our upcoming bi-monthly branch meetings will be held April 9, June 11, and August 13. In the last few months, many new members have been added to the branch by virtue of the fact that they have bought William Penn insurance policies from Columbus Agency Manager Joe (Jóska) Barreiro or from one of his friendly staff of insurance counsellors. We invite these new members to take part in our social/fraternal activities including our branch meetings. Meetings start at 7:30 P.M. and they are held at Leonardo’s, 1374 Parsons, in south Columbus.

This happy couple, Steve Szabados and Carrie Szekely, was spotted at the last William Penn Meeting in Columbus.

Mount St. George Prepares for Annual Carnival

Although the Annual Family Carnival at Mt. St. George is nearly four months away, that fact has not deterred Home Residents Joe and Ivy Parker from their efforts to raise funds for Mt. St. George.

Each year, for the past ten years, Ivy Parker has spent her winter afternoons and evenings knitting a beautiful afghan. Recently she completed the afghan and displayed it for all the Residents, employees, and Sisters to view. Everyone at the Home was truly impressed with the

beautiful work she has done.

Now the work of selling tickets begins. Joe and Ivy will solicit their many friends throughout the various branches for support. As the weather improves, they set up a stand in downtown Wellsburg to sell tickets to the townspeople. This year they are hoping that more William Penn branches will help them in this worthy endeavor. Tickets are being printed at this time. A book of six tickets will cost $5.00. Anyone interested in helping Joe and Ivy

Parker make this the best year ever are encouraged to con tact them at the Home. Theii phone number is 304 737-0333.
