Branch News Helping with Branch 296's Join Hands Day project were (l-r) Leanne Lovász, Mary Ann Kelly- Lovasz, National Vice President-Treasurer Diane Torma, Sale Representative Noreen Fritz, John L. Lovász, Marge Kosheba and Toni Kosheba. They assembled more than 30 gift bags of snacks, which were donated to families residing at the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Scenic View, I hope you are able to attend this magnificent event. If you haven't made it to the picnic yet, you really must plan on coming. It is a fun day for the entire family. With authentic Hungarian food and traditional Gypsy music playing amidst the Laurel Highlands, this is an experience unparalled. The annual WPA Picnic is a great place to reminisce with old friends and meet new ones. Hope to see you there. Thank you to all who helped with the chicken paprikas dinner held Aug. 25 in remembrance of St. Stephen of Hungary, especially Branch President Michele Daley-LaFlame who organized it and prepared the signature Hungarian dish. Our next activity will be our annual fall cabbage roll sale on Sept. 26 at St. Stephen's Church Hall from noon to 6:00 p.m. You can eat the cabbage rolls fresh as soon as you pick them up, or use the available containers to take them home and freeze them for the holidays and the cold winter months. Please order your rolls by calling Michele Daley- LaFlame at 937-278-5970, or Anne Marie Schmidt at 937-667-1211. Please mark your calendars for Dec. 15 for our branch Christmas party at St. Stephen's Church Hall at 1:30 p.m. All members are encouraged to come early for our December branch meeting at 12:30 p.m. More details to follow next month. Congratulations to new members Greg Heitman, Julia Arends and Isabella Arends. We welcome you to our WPA family and invite you to participate in Branch 249 activities. During these hard economic times, don't neglect your life insurance needs. Don't let the only life insurance policy you have be tied to your employment, because if you lose your job, you'll have nothing. Plus, as you get older, life insurance becomes more difficult to buy and more expensive. Remember the Recommender Program. You may be eligible to receive a referral fee of $10 to $20 by referring a new member. I am very passionate about seeking new members for William Penn Association, especially when I think of our history and how we have grown. Serving our members with life insurance, annuities, fraternal events and scholarships demonstrates our commitment to WPA members and our Hungarian culture. For answers to your questions about life insurance, please contact Anne Marie or Mark Schmidt, 937- 667-1211, or Michele Daley-LaFlame at 937-278-5970. For annuities, contact Anne Marie. If you have any news you would like to share, please contact Branch Coordinator Mark Schmidt at 937-667-1211. Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Mary A. Kelly-Lovász Here we are, folks. It's nearly the fall season. This truly is my favorite time of the year. With all of the rainfall we've experienced throughout our area, Western Pennsylvania should be awash in brilliant colors. The weatherman mentioned that wet summers produce terrific fall colors, so I think we're owed a color explosion! Congratulations are extended to all of our William Penn student members receiving scholarship grants from Branch 296 for the 2013- 2014 academic year. We wish all of the incoming freshmen and continuing students an excellent year. In fact, if you've got something interesting to share with our readers, please feel free to do so. We would enjoy hearing from our William Penn students. For our high school seniors, beginning in January, look in William Penn Life or on our WPA website for information and an application form for the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation grant. Before you realize, it'll be your turn to apply. Will our upcoming 13th annual WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest be held under sunny skies this year? Let's hope so, because last year's picnic began under stormy skies, but as the day wore on, the weather improved. You would have never known that the weather wasn't so great, because we didn't let that rain bother us! A great time was still had by all. Looking forward to delicious food, live music and smiling faces, including yours. As always, contact me if you have any branch news that you would like for me to share. Email me at nmkelly367@verizon.net or call me at 724-274-5318. Noreen Fritz is our delightful and knowledgeable agent who can answer all of your insurance and annuity questions. She can be reached at 412-821-1837 or at noreenbunny. fritz@verizon.net. I'll bet she'll even be at the picnic, too. Please mark your calendar for our next branch meeting: 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10, at King's Family Restaurant in New Kensington. Branch 336 Harrisburg, PA by Barbara Kreiser September is upon us and with it comes back to school, Labor Day and the dreaded end of summer.
