Branch 10 Barton, OH Branch 40 Martins Ferry, OH Branch 248 Monaville, WV Branch 349 We irt on, WV Branch 8164 Steubenville, OH by Joyce Nicholson Hello from the WPA branches in Barton, Martins Ferry, Weir ton, Steubenville and Monaville! Our branches participated in Join Hands Day by continuing our upkeep of Jim Donaldson Park in Wintersville. Thankfully, we enjoyed pleasant weather and bright sunny skies on the day we did our project. We also had great weather on June 1 for a picnic at Warren Township Park in Yorkville, Ohio, hosted jointly by our William Penn branches and the Ohio Valley Hungarian- American Cultural Society. There was a good crowd on hand to enjoy both the delicious covered dishes prepared by picnic guests and the traditional Hungarian bacon roast. We enjoyed the good fellowship all afternoon. We also watched a DVD of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble dancing to the strains of beautiful Hungarian music. We are now looking forward to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest on Sept. 6. We will be getting a large van to transport a limited number of folks to the picnic at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. If you are interested in riding with us, please call me for additional information. We must have a final head count by Aug. 15. Congratulations to all graduates. We also extend best wishes to all members celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this month. For information about our branch activities or about the benefits of membership in William Penn Association, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 14 Cleveland, OH by Richard E. Sarosi Happy 4th of July. We at Branch 14 hope our WPA family has a wonderful and safe 4th. Remember our nation, our troops and our veterans. Say a prayer for those who are on active duty and in harm's way. The Cleveland summer events got off to a great start with the Hungarian Heritage Night June 7 at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio. For a report on the game, see Magyar Matters on page 11. I would like to congratulate Branch 88 Rural Valley, Pa., on their 100th anniversary. We had a wonderful time and a delicious dinner at their celebration. Please remember those who are less fortunate or those who are experiencing hard times by donating canned goods, non-perishable items and simple personal items to your local food banks and hunger centers. No matter how big or small the gift, it makes a difference. Fraternalism is what we are about. The Branch 14 bus trip to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest at Scenic View on Sept. 6 is full. Check with Branch 14 Coordinator Violet Sarosi at 440-248-9012 for any cancellations. Mark you calendar for our annual branch Christmas party to be held Nov. 22. Be sure to check William Penn Life magazine each month for updates, registration forms and deadlines for all activities that you plan to attend. The officers of Branch 14 would like to say "welcome" to our new members. We congratulate our graduating Branch 14 student members on the successful completion of their high school or college studies. We wish you continued success in your future endeavors. All members are invited to help our current and future college students by donating to the WPFA Scholarship Foundation. While on the subject of our children, please consider that as your children grow into young adults, their juvenile life insurance policies can be converted into adult life policies when they reach age 25. Converting their juvenile policies will ensure your children of continued WPA coverage and will allow them to continue receiving WPA's fraternal benefits, such as this magazine and full participation in our fraternal functions. The officers of Branch 14 would like to extend our sympathy to those WPA members who have recently lost a loved one. May they rest in peace. Get well wishes are being sent to all Branch 14 and WPA members who might be feeling under the weather, especially Branch 14 member Ernest Sarosi, who is recovering from pneumonia; and WPA family members Irene Korpák, Anna Kertesz, Jean Robertson and Arlene Csornán. Please keep all of our members in your prayers. We look 16 0 July 2014 0 William Penn Life
