Branch 249 Dayton, OH by Mark Schmidt I like the change of seasons, I really do-fall and its crisp air and colorful trees; winter with its holiday cheer and families gathering around the fireplace, good food, and remembering the past. But, this winter? I'm sick of it. Record cold, record snows. Will it ever end? We had a good branch meeting Jan. 19 at the Upper Deck Tavern. Plans were made for many activities in 2014. In addition to all the national activities which are not to be missed, mark your calendars for these local events: • In April or May, a Dayton Dragons baseball game. • June 14, Join Hands Day. • Aug. 24, a delicious chicken paprikas dinner. • Nov. 9, branch election of officers. • Dec. 14, the popular Branch 249 Christmas party. Location and details for these events will be published in upcoming issues of William Penn Life. As soon as we hear back from the Dayton Dragons, I'll let you know the baseball game date. You can find the latest information and reservation forms for WPA's national fraternal events Branch 249 member Karen Kuritar, 65, (center) rappelled off a 32-story building in downtown Dayton last fall as part of an effort to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
