These love cards will come as a welcome surprise to them. To all, a happy Valentines Day. Branch 800's Christmas party gets better each year. That's because of the Home Office's monetary help, beautiful gifts for the kids and WPA calendars. Many thanks to those who came and to those who helped make it an enjoyable time. It seems we just began the new year and already the Lenten season is here, which begins with Ash Wednesday, Feb. 6. Lent is observed by Christians as a period of fasting, penance and prayer in preparation for Easter. The WPA's 122nd anniversary will be celebrated on Founders Day, Feb. 21. Our branch congratulates the National Officers, Board of Directors, Home Office staff and all members. Get ready for daylight savings time, which begins on Sunday, March 9 and ends on Nov. 2. Many people enjoy the four extra weeks of daylight savings time which were added for the first time last year. It's time to get out your life insurance certificates and check to see if you need to change your beneficiaries. Don't wait until it's too late. Just call Bob Jones in Altoona at 814-942-2661 to make any changes...and to give yourself some peace of mind. Branch 8114 Clarion, PA by Noreen Fritz Happy Valentines Day.
