Toth-Maskarinec WPA Branch 89 hopes everyone is surviving the nasty rainstorms we've been having. We know that the sunny weather will be coming soon. Our branch was busy the last few months and already going into this month. Branch 89, in conjunction with Munhall Boy Scout Troop #15, conducted a Join Hands Day project on May 11 at the Homestead Cemetery. It was great to see former National Vice President-Secretary Richard W. Toth, along with Branch President John S. Toth, Branch Auditor Mark S. Maskarinec and Branch Coordinator Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec in attendance, along with members Nancy Toth, Zach Toth, Scout Leader William Chytil and our adopted member, Sister Jean. It was great working along with the Boy Scouts to brighten the final resting place of so many people. As evidenced by the picture above, the cemetery even put up a special sign acknowledging the efforts of Branch 89. After the planting was finished, everyone was treated to hot dogs and soft drinks, complements of our branch, and Rick and Nancy Toth. It's almost here: Saturday, Aug. 17 and the 2nd Annual Branch 89 Golf Outing and Dinner. In keeping with the attitude of fraternalism and giving back to the community, all proceeds from this outing will benefit the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. As was the case last year, our golf outing this year will be held at the Westwood Golf Club and promises to be an enjoyable event. We look forward to seeing many of our branch members present in addition to the possible presence of WPA Officers and members of the Board of Directors. Some of the prizes we will be awarding include autographed memorabilia from the Steelers, Pirates, Arnold Palmer, Adam Scott, Hunter Mahan and several other personalities. We will be teeing off at noon on Aug. 17. Price is $80 for golf and the cart, a hot dog and refreshment at the turn plus dinner. The price for dinner alone is $25. We will be sending 50/50 raffle tickets out along with brochures for our outing within the next week. Last year, we had a member from Florida come to golf in this event. Who will come the furthest this year? It promises to be a very fun event and will benefit many. If anyone has any questions on the event, please call Golf Coordinator Mark Maskarinec at 412-872-5022. We're also looking for hole sponsors and volunteers for this event. Branch 89 is also collecting codes from Coke products. These codes will be turned into points which can then be redeemed for various merchandise and prizes to be used at our outings, such as gift certificates, tote bags, etc. We distributed many at the golf outing last year. To date, we have collected and redeemed more than 5,000 Coke Rewards points. In doing so, we will be able to give away higher valued merchandise for next to no cost for the branch! Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to Mark at maskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. Branch 89 continues to thank William Penn Association and its officers for its continued support and hopes everyone will be able to get out and truly enjoy the summer. Upcoming events for our branch include dinner at Dave & Buster's in Homestead. Please contact the branch coordinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your insurance needs, please continue to call Ruth Toth at 412- 461-5812.
