Branch News Branch 18 member Deborah Wolfe (far right) celebrates her recognition as a “very special nurse” and Star Performer by the Health First Network with (l-r) Thomas House, Vice Chairman of the Board Barbara A. House and Deborah’s husband Glenn. Branch 8 Johnstown, PA by Dorothy Kedves Our first meeting for fall 2009 was held on Oct. 1. It seems early to discuss plans for the holidays, but the summer has passed by so quickly that we did not realize fall is here. The hillsides of our area will soon be painted in beautiful colors by Mother Nature, and we should all take advantage of seeing the beauty of this. We have gone to the orchards for an assortment of apples and goodies. We would like all members to know that a special meeting will be held on Nov. 20 to discuss the upcoming events for the holidays. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at 340 Seneca Trail, Davidsville, Pa. Please call Ernest Kedves at 814-479- 7502 if you plan to attend. For all your life insurance and annuity needs, please call Alexis Yuhas Kozak at 814-242-0000. May pleasant thoughts of family and friends warm your hearts during this time of giving thanks. To all members of the WPA: Happy Thanksgiving. Branch 13 Trenton, NJ by Elsie H. Radvany Branch 13 will hold its annual family Christmas party on Sunday, Dec. 6, at 2:00 p.m. in the Hungarian Reformed Church auditorium, located at the comer of Grand and Beatty Streets, Trenton.

Ward The branch Christmas party will be held Saturday, Dec. 12, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., at the Bethlen Hall of the First Hungarian Reformed Church, Walton Hills. The open-house format will include pizza, cookies, ice cream and beverages, along with entertainment provided by Sparkles the Clown, who does fabulous face painting, and Balloonatic, who creates amazing shapes from balloons. Santa Claus will be there from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. Juvenile members ages 12 and under will receive invitations with an RSVP so Santa will know what to bring them. Branch 14 member Joyce Wargo exemplifies the fraternal spirit we are trying to propagate. She, along with other volunteers from the First Hungarian Reformed Church, have been involved in crocheting and knitting scarves for our troops. Pat Catan's Craft Center provides the camouflage yam and covers the cost of mailing to the USO. In January, they hope to have more volunteers to start an afghan project. These afghans will be distributed locally to people in need. Branch 14 member Joan Altmayer proves it's never too late to pursue a dream. At age 16, Joan wanted to be a model. Now 50 years later, she is...and busy as ever. Most of her ads involve the medical field, such as several television commercials for health care facilities, as well as print ads for AlterCare and other healthrelated brochures. Most recently she has been seen throughout northeastern Ohio in a Time Warner television commercial, and she will also appear 16 William Penn Life, November 2009
