Branch 800 Altoona, PA By Vincent Frank Branch 800 President The branch’s annual corn boil and wiener roast for members and their families was another successful event. We wish to thank the chairman, co-chairman and all those who helped in any way to make this affair so enjoy­able. The weather could not have been more beautiful, and the food was very appetizing. If you were not there, you missed a fine social event. Father Kenneth Greiner gave the invocation and later enter­tained us with his two musical instruments. It was also great to see members who brought their children and grandchildren. Vice President Leroy Douglas has already reserved the date for next year’s corn boil with the park. The ladies auxiliary resumed their monthly meetings following a summer recess. The auxiliary meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the basement of Our Lady of Lourdes Church. All auxiliary members are encouraged to attend and help plan upcoming events. John and Irene Stoltz recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at Sacred Heart Man­or in Altoona, where they reside. They had an open house on the patio of the manor in their honor. John has been a member of our society for 63 years. He was past president of the former Branch 231 at St. Leo’s Church in Al­toona. We send our best wishes to John and Irene. Congratulations also go to all those who will be celebrating their birthday or wedding anni­versary in October.
