Branch News Branch 89's Justin Toth (left) enjoyed the Bethlen Communities golf outing with friends Jesse Ferencz (center) and Joe Wheeler. Kevin Hays, a 21-year-old American college student and also an official world champion, holds the impressive distinction of hav­ing solved the most Rubik's Cubes underwater...in one breath. Jakub Kipa from Poland solved the cube in 20.57 seconds...with his feet. Four-year old Yani Chan from Brazil holds the current record for the youngest person to take part in an official competition and solved it in only 30 seconds. It's no wonder that the Rubik's Cube is billed "the world's best-sell­ing toy." No doubt, the Hungarian invention remains quite popular. It's hard to believe that summer is over, and school is back in ses­sion. Be mindful of children darting across streets. Pretty soon, we will be focusing on fall holidays and events. But, in the meantime, have a great last summer weekend this Labor Day. Fly the flag, and be safe! We extend best wishes to all members celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. We also extend our sincere sympathies to those who lost loved ones recently. For information about branch activities please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238. Branch 89 Homestead, PA by Lisa S. Toth-Maskarinec What a few glorious months of sum­mertime we had—nice sunny days, green grass and the sounds of golf balls pinging off golf clubs. Our branch was well represented at the Bethlen Commu­nities golf outing at Champion Lakes Golf Course in Bolivar, Pa., July 25. Those attend­ing were Fred Gabocy, Justin and Tim Toth, Mark S. Maskar­­inec, Lisa S. Toth- Maskarinec, Dianne Sclmeider, and Debra, Edith and Michelle Zamberry. It was a pleasure to participate in this outing, and a good time was had by all. One of the highlights of the day was having our picture taken with legendary Pittsburgh Pirate and all-around Pittsburgh sports person­ality Dick Groat. What a wonderful establishment Dick and his daughter Allison run. Justin, the Zamberry family, and Mark and I arrived a day early and enjoyed staying at the bed and breakfast onsight. What a wonderful way to relax, sit back and help set things up. We thank them for their hospitality. Our own annual golf outing exceeded our expectations. We will have additional pictures and more details in the next issue of William Penn Life. We had our highest turn­out ever with about 100 golfers and 50 diners. Our banquet room was packed with happy, tired and hot golfers. It was amazing that by mov­ing the golf venue to Butler's Golf Course in Elizabeth, Pa., we were able to reduce our price by $15 and gain 40 more golfers. Affordable golf is what golfers look for in this day of the shrinking dollar, and, boy, did Butler's come through for us. The food just kept on coming. We also honored one of the old­est male members of our branch, Fred Gabocy, our photographer and general good guy. Fred, at 90 years young, was out on the golf course from noon till 6:00 p.m. tak­ing pictures. Branch President John S. Toth Jr. and Vice President Mark S. Maskarinec presented Fred with a plaque of gift cards for various restaurants, gasoline companies and grocery stores. Fred was most pleased and surprised. It was a true pleasure to honor someone for his devotion to our branch. Among our future activities in the planning stage are our annual out­ing at the ballpark and a beer sam­pling in September. We'd also like to have a night at the movies. While we may not be as big as some of the other branches, we are still strong, and we look forward to meeting a lot of our members in the upcoming year at some of these events. Branch 89 continues to collect codes from Coke products. These codes will be turned into points which can then be redeemed for various merchandise and prizes to be used at our outings. Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with any codes can email them to me at maskarinacl836@comcast.net or send them to 1836 Timothy Drive, West Mifflin, PA 15122. We are also collecting Kellogg's Family Rewards Points. The codes are found inside the boxes of Kel­logg's, Keebler, Sunshine and Morn­­ingstar Farms products. Just cut out the code, mail it to us, and we'll do the rest. Please contact the branch coor­dinator if you'd like to see other activities, and we'll do our best to accommodate those requests. For any of your life insurance needs, please call Ruth Toth at 412- 872-5022. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hello all from Columbus, Ohio. The weather here has been great this past month—not too humid and not too much rain. Hopefully, the weather will be good till the first day of win­ter (Dec. 22). We would like to wish a warm welcome to our newest branch members, Makenna Zinser and John Dawson Jr.. Well, here it is September, so most students should be back in school. Drive safe and watch your speed in the school zones. Among holidays in September is Labor Day on the 7th, which is dedi­cated to honoring and remembering the achievements of the U.S. worker.
