WPA mourns passing of former Board member Frank J. Wukovits, Jr.

SOUTH BEND, IN — The members of Branch 132 South Bend, WPA's Official Family and members across the country were saddened by the recent death of former National Director Frank J. Wukovits Jr. Mr. Wukovits, 71, passed away July 16, 2011.

Mr. Wukovits will be remembered for his more than 40 years of devoted service to the Association on both the local and national levels. His dedication to WPA was instilled in him by his father, Frank J. Wukovits Sr., who, like his son, was a tireless promoter of the Association and Branch 132 and served for many years on the Board of Directors.

The younger Mr. Wukovits took a leadership role at Branch 132 when he was first elected its treasurer in 1968. Over the next 40 years, he would serve his branch as its vice president, secretary and, most recently, secretary-treasurer. He also represented his branch as a delegate to four consecutive General Conventions, beginning in 1971.

At the 30th General Convention in 1983, Mr. Wukovits was elected to the Association's Board of Directors. He would be reelected as a National Director four more times, serving a total of 20 years on the Board.

A lifelong resident of South Bend, Mr. Wukovits was born May 21,1940. After serving in the U.S.

WPA financial support helps team compete for championships

THE TAYLOR North Central/Taylor South Senior Girls All-Star Team would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for your kind sponsorship in helping us travel to the state tournament. Your contributions helped pay for the travel/lodging expenses as well as food expenses for the girls. The team benefitted greatly from your kind generosity.

We lost our first game and fought our way back and eventually eliminated the same team who gave us our first loss. We then went on to win four games in a row and make it to the championship game. We ended

up losing that game, so we are second place in the state of Michigan. We would never have been able to make it there without the help of all of you. Thank you for all of your support.

Thanks again,

Players:

Christina Marchelletta, Sarah Zaborowski, Kara Rich, Kayla McTaggart, Ashley Warn, Leanna Cloutier, Sarah Woloszyk, Jessica Kim, Angel Chalfin, Jordyn Fryz, Brittney Ray, Shelby Nester and Jessica Jett

Manager and Coachers:

Doug Cloutier, Bob Chalfin and Glenn Young

THANK YOU for your thoughtful and generous donation for my Little League team. We're very excited to be the Michigan Junior League Champs. The years of sponsorship from William Penn Association has made this possible.

Now, we are off to Fort Wayne (Ind.) for the regional tournament against teams from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. We hope to represent the Central Region in the Junior League World Series.

Your kindness is appreciated very much.

Marco Marchelletta

Branch 18 Lincoln Park, MI
