Congratulations to one of our scholarship recipients, David Burnett Jr. who recently graduated from college and obtained a great job in Irving, Texas.

Branch 76 Philadelphia, PA by Jack Tokár The WPA hosted a very informative sales meeting in Pittsburgh in May. It was a pleasure meeting some new people, including Sales Director Mark Lantz and sales representatives Andrew Girard and Alan Szabó. It was also great to see familiar faces, particularly Anthony and Marguerite Beke, A1 and Betty Vargo and Barbara House. At the meeting, I mentioned that we are flooded with advertisements for insurance via the mail or internet. However, close examination reveals that the WPA offers both better and less expensive products. The 6th Annual WPA Picnic will be held Saturday, Sept. 16, from noon to 6:00 p.m. at Perm Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. The picnic includes all-you-can-eat delicious Hungarian specialties. Admission is $10 for adults and $4 for students. Children ages 10 and under are free. If there is sufficient interest, Branch 16 William Penn Life, July 2006
