Hope to see everyone again at these enjoyable functions. The bowling tournament was a fun event and everyone enjoyed themselves. What a great set up at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino. Thanks to all of the frame sponsors. The buffet afterwards was delicious. I think my grandson Donovan and everyone else can attest to that. If you missed this, you missed a good event. I am sure that once the word gets out, we will have more bowlers next year. It was a nice fraternal event. Thanks to everyone that came and helped. Congratulations to branch member and daughter-in-law, Valerie, for completing the Pittsburgh Marathon. Way to go! Happy and healthy birthday wishes to everyone celebrating their birthdays in June. Many, many more. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Andy McNelis at 412-421-6031.

Rakoczy-Przywara Windber is preparing for Coal- Miner's Weekend, June 15 to 17.1 would recommend that you visit if it's convenient to your schedule. Lots of food, pastries and events are planned by many—the Windber Coal Heritage Office, the WAVE organization and the Windber Historical Museum, to name a few. I'm sure you'll be dancing in the street before the weekend concludes. One of the members of the Arcadia Theater Guild, Millie Molnár, has the honor of being Grand Marshall in the Coal Heritage parade, which kicks off the Miner's Memorial Weekend. This event did not happen in the days I grew up as a coalminer's daughter, but somehow I feel my father looks down with great appreciation at how his town now celebrates a special Coalminer's Memorial Weekend every year. Branch 59 lost another member in April, Anthony DeBiase. Our deepest sympathies to his surviving family members. Many schools will be closed for the summer, so please be aware of the little ones playing outside. My only granddaughter, Samantha, a juvenile member of Branch 18 Lincoln Park, Mich., received her First Holy Communion on April 21. Her mom's wedding dress and veil were cut to make Sam's outfit for the day. In fact, Sam's American Girl doll was dressed to match her. I want to extend birthday and anniversary wishes to all those celebrating in the month of June. And, let me know if you want anything published in my monthly reports for William Penn Life. Happy Father's Day! Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hope this finds everyone in good health and much happiness. We would like to congratulate our team from Columbus on their William Penn Life 0 June 2012 D 19
