Branch News celebrating their special day this month: Robert Toth (April 3), Helena Lubiano Walochik (April 4), Timothy Toth (April 5), Branch 89 Secretary-Treasurer Ruth D. Toth (April 7) and Dr. Keith S. Toth (April 12). Happy birthday one and all and special greetings to Ruth on turning the young age of 86. Ruth is another person who doesn't let age keep her back. Way to go, mom. As the saying goes, keep on truckin! We wish you many more years to come. Get well wishes go to branch members Fred Gabocy and Patricia Walochik recuperating from recent heart issues, and Dianne Schneider, who continues to recuperate from delicate neck surgery. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for all. Our branch is trying something new. On Saturday, March 19, at 1:00 p.m., we will be attending the WineFest"alcular" Pittsburgh at the David Lawrence Convention Center. This is something different and should be tons of fun. The list of wineries is tremendous, and the best part is that you simply have to walk from one booth to another, try their wines and eat the food. How better to spend a day! The Annual Steel Valley Rotary Dinner Dance will be on Saturday, April 2, at St. John's Hall in Munhall. Come listen to the delights of Jimmy Sapienza and Five Guys Named Moe and support a good cause. The Steel Valley Rotary co-hosts our branch's annual golf outing. So, let's see if we can have a good turnout. It's a great showing of not only community effort but fraternal effort to support organizations that support WPA. Reservations can be made by calling Mark Maskarinec at 412-872- 5022. We continue to ask our members for names of restaurants where we can hold our monthly dinners. So far, we have the following suggestions: Mitchell's, Yokoso, Bravo, Dave and Buster's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dorothy 6, BD's Mongolian Grill and Hofbrauhaus. Let us know if your restaurant isn't listed here. We'll gladly add it to the list. Mark your calendar for our annual golf outing which will be held Sunday, Aug. 7. Tee time is 12:30 p.m. at Butler's Golf Course in Eliza-Branch 89 Secretary-Treasurer Ruth D. Toth with her best friend and branch mascot, Baron Leo DeGoofus. beth, Pa. Price will be increasing slightly, but we did listen to your requests and were able to get an earlier tee time. Once again, we plan on honoring our senior members of the branch. Who will that be? Come find out. Some of our future activities in the planning stages for this year will be an outing at the ballpark, a night at the movies, and murder mystery theater. We look forward to meeting a lot of our members 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. We distributed many at the golf outing last year. We have collected and redeemed over 8,000 Coke Rewards points. We will be able to give away higher valued merchandise for next to no cost for the branch! Thanks to all who have helped us. Anyone with 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 Reward's Points. The codes are no longer inside the box. Instead, we now need the store receipt. Look for boxes of Kellogg's, Keebler, Sunshine and Morningstar Farms products with the Family Rewards insignia. Just send us your receipt, and we'll do the rest. Please let us know 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 continue to call Ruth Toth at 412-872-5022. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Hello from Columbus, Ohio! We had typical Ohio weather in early March. As I write this, we're getting snow with lows in the 20s, while the following week the forecast was calling for temperatures reaching in the 60s and 70s. Can't wait for the warmer weather to get here and stay. Mark your calendars for the WPA Annual Bowling Tournament on April 29 and 30 in Washington, Pa. This is a great fraternal event, and we would like to see you there. Don't forget that applications for a WPFA scholarship grant must be postmarked by Tuesday, May 31. This date applies to both new and renewing applicants. This is a very good program to help with college expenses. On Sunday, April 10, there will be a Soup and Learn Program at the Hungarian Reformed Church, located at 365 Woodrow Ave. in Columbus, after the 10:00 a.m. service. Soup will be served at about 11:15 a.m. with the program entitled, "Columbus Hungarian Life - Past and Present - Catholic, Protestant & Other," beginning at 11:40 a.m. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope all have a speedy recovery, especially two of our branch officers, Margaret Boso and Margaret Leonardo. We also extend our sincere sympathy to all who have recently lost a loved one.
