Hope you are all well very soon. Thank you, Eileen Gonzales. Your gift sure came in handy. Thank you, also, Kathy and Les Megyeri for your many kindnesses and wonderful submissions to our William Penn Life. You are special. Thanks, Mandy, Donny and Kathryn McCord. Great to see you all. Happy birthday to all our August members, especially Suzi Robison and Dianne Charles. Hope you have many more. Congratulations to Helen Molnár and Kaye Momtsios. They both recently retired and were honored for 25-plus years with M.A.D.D. They have both lost a child to drunk drivers. Thank you for all your hard work. We are so proud of you both. Remember our deceased members in your prayers, especially Albert Wansa, Lawrence Klimchalk and Wallace Atkins. May they rest in peace. Remember the WPFA Scholarship Foundation in your estate planning. We also encourage you to "pass it on" if you received a grant in the past or have a family member who benefitted from this program. We can't do it without you. Branch 18 will have a bus to the WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest. Cost is $95 per person. That includes the bus, hotel, admission to the picnic and all you can eat at the picnic. Call me ASAP to reserve your spot. Following that will be the WPA trip to Hungary. Some of your Board members are going on this trip. The Board has not gone to Hungary as a group in more than 30 years. I'm looking forward to showing all the "newbies" the wonderful sights. Our Branch 18 Charity-of-the- Month was won by Joanne Golob. She chose the Brownstown no-kill animal shelter. We also continue to support our scholarship foundation. Please bring your animal donations to our next meeting on Sept. 3. We meet at the Hungarian American Cultural Center at 7:00 p.m. Our Soaring Eagle trip will be Oct. 21 and 22. Cost is $95 per person. That includes bus, hotel and many casino perks. The hotel rooms are lovely. Our Firekeepers trip will be Nov. 11 and 12. Again, the cost is $95 per person for bus, hotel and casino perks. Please call me ASAP to reserve your spot on either trip. Special condolences to WPA Board member Jim Robertson on the passing of his wife, Jean. She had been ill for a long time. She sure put up a great fight. God saw she had fought enough. Rest in peace, Jean. Special prayers to you, Jim. You are loved by all of us. Thank you to all who remembered my husband, Tom, after his recent surgery. All went well. Thanks be to God. There will be a special St. Stephen's Day celebration in Toledo on Aug. 17. The city hosts a wonderful street festival. Hope to see you there. Remember to bloom where you are planted: support your branch and support WPA events. Without you, our events will cease to exist. Thank you, Holy Cross Church and Father Barnabas for allowing me to reprint the poem "Take Time." Enjoy the rest of your summer. I hope to see you all very soon. My phone number is 313-418-5572. Take Time Take time to laugh; It is the music of the soul. Take time to think; It is the source of power. Take time to play; It is the source of perpetual youth. Take time to read; It is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to pray; It is the greatest power on Earth. Take time to love and be loved; It is a God-given privilege. Take time to be friendly; It is the road to happiness. Take time to give; It is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to work; It is the price of success.
