We hope everybody had a fun Independence Day weekend full of festivities, food and games. Our branches participated in an outing back on Saturday, April 2, to the Wheeling Nailers hockey final home game of the season. The Nailers won 4 to 3 over the Toledo Walleye in the last few minutes of action and continued into the playoff round. Everyone had a great time together at the event. A Caring Place, a child advocacy center in Jefferson County, was thrilled to receive the stuffed animals with fleece blankets our WPA branches provided for Join Hands Day. Mary Ann Donnelly, the director of the center, does great work with providing a unique and critical service to children who are victims or witnesses of abuse. In Jefferson County alone, nearly 100 children are seen at the center each year. The toys and blankets are "warm fuzzies" that can help a child feel more comfortable during an uncomfortable situation. Keep watching William Penn Life magazine for upcoming events celebrating the 125th anniversary of WPA. We hope to see you at those events.
