Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Vincent Frank At the branch's May meeting, we will celebrate with those branch members who have attained 50 years of membership with the WPA. The Home Office will notify the branch as to those who have reached this milestone. In turn, our branch will notify the honorees by mail. NEXT DEADLINE APRIL 10 Branch News Herman Kessler is celebrating his 85th birthday this April. He tells me he is in good health, enjoys sports, plays his accordion a lot and reads the William Penn Life. God bless you, Herman. Here in central Pennsylvania, we are very fortunate to have the Altoona Curve, a Class AA professional baseball team affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the winter behind us now, the long baseball season is set to begin. Many Branch 800 members will be in the stands cheering the Curve onto victory. April 12 is a joyous day for all our branch fishermen, for that is opening day of trout season. What makes it so special is that the whole family can participate in this sport at the same time. It's provides an opportunity to forget the rest of the world and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with fishing along the lakes and rivers. The best of luck to all anglers. On Saturday, May 3, fratemalists young and old will gather to mark the annual Join Hands Day. On that day, adults and youth will work together on projects to help their communities. Branch members should take time to read the eligibility rules for the WPA scholarship grants that are being offered in 2008. Do you have a family member who is a student and a WPA life benefit member who is planning to attend a college, university or school of nursing? If so, why not apply for this financial help? Deadline for applications is May 31. For your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Bob Jones in Altoona at 814-942-2661. Branch 8114 __ Clarion, PA ___ by Noreen Fritz in Pittsburgh Arthur Aaron reports that Branch 8114 recently purchased food items to serve five Clarion County households consisting of 33 individuals and one Clarion County shelter through Community Action, Inc. A letter of appreciation was received thanking the William Penn Association and the members of the former Catholic Knights of St. George from Community Action, Inc. With the turbulent economy, the WPA offers safe annuity certificates. Save a dollar. If you spend it, it's gone. If you save it, the dollar becomes a worker for you producing new dollar workers for you. With these dollars working for you—along with compound interest and the time value of money—your saved dollars will add up very quickly. Being tax-deferred and paying no sales charge are additional bonuses. Plus, you receive other fraternal benefits. That all adds up to "WOW!" If you have ANY life insurance policies, such as universal or term that you are currently paying on and would like to have reviewed without charge, you may call me anytime. I have helped many people save lots of premium dollars. Happy birthday greetings to branch members: Bob Donahue, Erin Steiner, Emily Steiner, Stanley Bauer, Michael Dale, Albert Fiscus, Ann Hartle, Kasey Martin, Eugene Seitz, John Beckwith, Seth Justice, Carter Cummins, Mary Jane Gatesman, Bradley Best, Griffin Keatley, Gerry Ochs, Emily Troese, Milton McElravy, Frank Schill, Samuel Schmader, Maria Pierucci, Judith McDevitt, Evelyn Seitz, Ian Rice, Annette Sunderland and Nick Bagileo. Here is a special wish for a birthday filled with many happy surprises. I live in Pittsburgh but I travel and serve members where my help is needed. I can be reached at 412-821- 1837. My mailing address is P.O. Box 15060, Pittsburgh, PA 15237. My email address is noreenbunny.fritz@ verizon.net. Branch 8321 J Windber, PA __ by Edward T.
