I Branch News Branch 129 members enjoying the WPA Bowling Tournament Banquet were (front l-r) Velma Nadalln and Margaret Boso; (middle) Diane Walker, Margaret Leonardo and Debbie Lewis; and (back) Jimmy Lewis and Rick Lewis. nament was a big hit, with more participants than last year, coming from near and far. The Meadows and the hotel were very accommodating again. Thanks to all the bowlers, helpers and frame sponsors. The buffet afterwards was delicious, as usual. I think everyone can attest to that! If you missed this, you missed a good fraternal event. Thanks to everyone who came. On a personal note, Donovan Mc- Nelis attended the Football University Camp held at the Morris School in Danville, N.J. This is a prestigious camp that is by invitation only and is staffed by former and current NFL coaches and players. There are 90 such camps a season inviting a total of 27,000 players from around the country. Donovan, an offensive lineman, excelled at his position and was invited to the Top Gun camp for elite players to be held in Columbus, Ohio, later this year. He will be one of only 300 players nationwide picked to attend this camp. Florida State, Boston College, Colgate and Princeton have shown interest in Donovan, even though he is just a sophomore. Donovan will also be volunteering again at Camp B, a week-long camp held near Scenic View. He will be a junior counselor to underprivileged teens who attend the camp. Last year William Penn Association and Branch 34 generously donated to the camp, enabling two underprivileged teens to attend the camp at no charge to their families. We are very proud of you, Donovan. Keep up the good work! On another personal note, congratulations to the Healy and Vámos families. We were blessed with a beautiful great-niece, Rhiannon. Nicole and Bob Healy are the parents, and Gary and Roseann Vámos are the grandparents. Welcome to the family! Congratulations to branch member and daughter-in-law Valerie for completing the half Pittsburgh Marathon. Way to go!! Happy and healthy birthday wishes to everyone celebrating their birthdays in June. May you all have many, many more.

Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis We would like to congratulate the Columbus team on their first place finish at the WPA bowling tournament. Team members were Margaret Leonardo, Diane Walker, Jimmy Lewis and Rick Lewis. Also, Rick Lewis placed first and Jimmy Lewis second in men's singles, and Diane Walker placed second in women's singles. Cheering on our bowlers were Marge Boso, Velma Nadalin and Debbie Lewis. After the bowling on Saturday, we had a fantastic banquet at the hotel with delicious food and beverages. It was great seeing everyone who attended this year. There were double the bowlers from last year. Congratulations to all the bowlers who participated to make this another fun event. We all really missed seeing one of the bowling tournament icons, Chair of the Board Barbara House. Also missed was Arlene Csornán due to medical reasons. Hope you both are feeling better, and hope to see you both at upcoming WPA events. A special thanks to Endre Csornán and his committee for all their hard work to make this another great fraternal event.
