Branch 336 Harrisburg, PA by Barbara Kreiser Wow, can you believe it is August already? Time sure does fly. With both the WPA golf tournament and our branch golf outing behind us, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy some of the happenings at the Verhovay club. We have some fun new activities available for the members. We now have a pool table and a shuffleboard table for everyone to enjoy. We also have bands and DJs throughout the month. Check out our website at vmxw.verhovay.com and our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ Verlwvay?ref=hl. You can find the monthly schedule of events at either site. In addition to the website and Facebook page, we have free wi-fi. Also, the kitchen is open every day at 11:00 a.m. Don't forget to look at the specials board to see what's cooking! We look forward to seeing you. So come out and support your club; there is plenty going on for everyone. Our meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the third Monday of every month at the Verhovay Home Association on 29th Street in Harrisburg. We would love to see all the active members attend.

McKinsey It's hard to believe that it's August already and that the kids will soon be going back to school. Shopping for school clothes and supplies keeps families busy this month. Some schools even start classes in August. Did you know that August is National Picnic Month? Hope you get a chance to schedule a picnic or two this month and enjoy the lazy, hazy last days of summer. Our annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest will be held on Sept. 7 at Scenic View. Plan on attending this fun, food-filled event. There's something for all ages, including children's activities, a fishing contest at the lake, music, dancing and, of course, the best Hungarian food around. This year for Join Hands Day, Branch 352 members planted flowers at the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society on the North Side of Pittsburgh. We all had a great time. That place was so busy the morning we were there. There are many kind-hearted volunteers who come regularly to take the dogs for a walk, and many people came that morning to adopt an animal. We even had an opportunity to have our picture taken with Chester, one of the dogs up for adoption. Congratulations to Branch 352 member Otto Endre Nagengast who graduated from United World College-USA on May 22 in Montezuma, N.M., earning an International Baccalaureate.
