Branch News Two young guests enjoy some food and each other’s company during a family Christmas party hosted by Branch 400 this past holiday season. Spring officially begins on the 20th (look for the little crocus peeking out of the ground); Passover begins on the 25th; and the month culminates with Easter Sunday on the 31st. Wow, what a month! And a date that I've saved for last, but certainly not least, is Branch 296's first monthly meeting of 2013 on March 14...weather permitting, of course. Remember we'll meet at King's Restaurant in New Kensington at 7:00 p.m. Before our meeting, please think about a project for Join Hands Day and we can discuss everyone's ideas. We very much look forward to seeing you and maybe further discussing the "madness of March." Happy birthday and anniversary wishes go out to our members celebrating a special day this month. And, we remember and pray for our dearly departed members and for their loved ones. Please feel free to contact me with your questions or comments at 274- 274-5318 or at tnakelly367@verizon. net. For your insurance and annuity needs, please contact our friendly and knowledgeable agent, Noreen Fritz, FIC, LUTCF at 412-821-1837 or noreenbunny.fritz@verizon.net. Branch 352 Coraopolis, PA by Dora S. McKinsey I can't believe it's March already. March is the month that signals the end of winter and ushers in the spring season. Officially, spring arrives on March 20. All of us, I'm sure, are anxious to have this winter over with and eagerly await the first signs of new life breaking through the ground. It's also the time that many of WPA's fraternal activities will begin. The bowling tournament on May 4 will be here soon. This promises to be a fun, fraternal event—one you won't want to miss. Everyone who attended last year's tournament had a great time. The Meadows Racetrack & Casino will be celebrating the Kentucky Derby that weekend, so many things are planned by the Casino that our guests will be able to participate in. You can find information on the tournament elsewhere in this issue of William Penn Life. Also coming up are Join Hands Day on May 4, the Annual Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days on July 19 and 20; the Hungarian Heritage Experience on Aug. 4 to 10; the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal- Fest at Scenic View on Sept. 7; and the WPA-sponsored trip to Hungary in September. Since the official Join Hands Day falls on the same day as our bowling tournament, many branches are postponing their Join Hands Day activities for some time later. Please try to support as many WPA fraternal functions as possible. Only with your participation can WPA continue to offer so many fraternal activities to our members. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday in March. May you have many more and may all of them be healthy. Don't forget to turn the clocks ahead one hour on March 10. Easter falls on March 31 this year. Happy Easter to all.

Branch 400 Charlotte, NC by Cindy Smith Branch 400 has been making an impact in the Charlotte area this past holiday season. We are getting our name out in the community by helping some of our local organizations. During the month of December, Branch 400 helped two local nonprofit organizations whose services are greatly needed in our community. One was the Charlotte Rescue Mission, a local charity helping those who have, for various reasons, found themselves homeless. The mission has numerous needs and offers help to those who are less fortunate. The other organization we supported was Urban Restoration. This organization is striving to help feed and clothe families who, due to tough economic times, have more going out of their budget than coming in. We hope that our branch can continue to encourage and help these organizations in the future. 24 0 March 2013 ° William Penn Life
