Branch News Branch 296 Springdale, PA by Mary A. Kelly-Lovasz Well, has your March entered as a lion or a lamb? After the sub-zero temps, nuisance snow and ice, I for one am looking forward to this month to end "lamb-style." Besides the first day of Spring, March also offers us Dr. Seuss day on March 2, a fun and special re­minder to read to your children and to encourage them to read, as well. Ash Wednesday falls during the first week of March, signifying the start of Lent and, we hope, a renew­al of spiritual mindset. For our members of Irish ances­try, we've got St. Patrick's Day to celebrate. That's immediately followed by the start of NCAA March Madness on the 18th. Get your brackets ready, folks, and let's not forget the ladies' tournament, too. Branch 296 had its Branch audit in February, and we look forward to another year of gathering our mem­bers and serving our community with fraternal spirit. Birthday wishes go out to our Branch Auditor John Torma this month, as well as each of our mem­bers celebrating their special day in March. Special thoughts and get well wishes go out to Irene Charles and to each of our members who are not feeling up to par right now. We also remember those who have recently lost a loved one. Weather permitting, (wow, I sure hope so) our first branch meeting of 2014 will be held on Thursday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m. at King's Fam­ily Restaurant in New Kensington. Come join us for a brief, informative meeting, ending with dessert. Now how could you pass that up?

Flope to see you soon and wish you many "lamb" days throughout March. 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 leave cold weather behind us. It's also the time that many of WPA's fraternal activities begin. The bowling tournament on May 3 will be here soon. This promises to be a fun, fraternal event—one you won't want to miss. Everyone who attended the previous tournaments had a great time. You can find in­formation on the tournament in this month's issue of William Penn Life. Also coming up are Join Hands Day on May 3, the golf tournament July 18-19, the Hungarian Heritage Experience Aug. 3-9, our picnic at Scenic View on Sept. 6 and last but not least, the WPA-sponsored trip to Hungary in September. Since 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 be blessed with many more, and may all of them be healthy. We offer our condolences to any­one who has lost a loved one. May your memories carry you through this difficult time. Don't forget that Daylight Sav­ings Time begins on March 9. This is a good time to review your insurance needs. If you need help with additional life insurance cover­age or opening an annuity, please contact me at 412-319-7116 or email at dmckinsey@hotmail.com. You may also want to review your current beneficiary information to see if a change is necessary. I will be happy to assist you with any of your insur­ance questions. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Dave Greiner March is the final month of winter. It has been a long, cold and snowy season. We look forward to March 20, the first day of spring. Sunday, March 9, Daylight Sav­ings Time begins. Please, don't for­get to move your clocks up one hour. March 9 is also Girl Scout Sunday. Let's all help them and support their cookie sales. March 17 we celebrate St. Pat­rick's Day. We hope all our Irish members wear something green and enjoy celebrating their heritage. We at Branch 800 will be prepar­ing to make our annual donation to the State Correctional Institution in Huntingdon, Pa. This has been a longtime act of fraternalism by our branch to help the chaplain there tend to the spiritual needs of the inmates. As the month moves on, the na­tion gets ready for March Madness. We wish the Pitt Panthers good luck in the NCAA tourney. We also wish all Pennsylvania high school teams, both boys and girls, good luck in the PIAA basketball playoffs. Major league baseball will begin in March this year. Our Pirates open at homes against the Cubs on March 31. Let's all hope the Bucs can continue to build on the success and excitement they generated in 2013. Branch 800 wishes a happy birth­day to all our members celebrating during the month of March. Don't forget to contact Bob Jones for all your life insurance and annu­ity needs at 814-942-2661. Until next month, let's go, Pens! William Penn Life 0 March 2014 0 25
