2016-06-01 / 6. szám
Branch News see you. This month, we celebrate two special holidays. Flag Day is June 14 in which we commemorate the adoption of the Flag of the United States. President Woodrow Wilson officially established June 14 as Flag Day in 1949. Father's Day is June 19. Happy Father's Day to all of those dads out there. May you lead your families with wisdom. The school year will soon be over so there will be many young ones playing outside. Please drive carefully. Remember that the 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days are coming up July 15 and 16 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa. Please try to attend as many fraternal events as possible. Only with your support can WPA continue to provide activities for you to enjoy. Keep in mind the upcoming Hungarian Heritage Experience taking place July 31 to Aug. 6 at Sequanota Lutheran Conference Center and Camp in Boswell, Pa. Most of the bedrooms hold two people, and each has its own bathroom. There is also a swimming pool there that will be available for the students to use each afternoon after classes are completed. There is still room for anyone who wants to attend. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month. May you be blessed with many more. Our condolences to all those who have lost a loved one recently. May your memories carry you through this very difficult time. If you have any insurance needs or questions, please contact me at 412-932-3170 or by email at dmckinsey@hotviail.com. Branch 800 Altoona, PA by Dave Greiner Summer officially begins this month. Our schools are now in recess. Branch 800 hopes all members can enjoy the warm June weather by relaxing and spending quality time with family and friends. We wish all graduates good luck and hope they can truly enjoy the summer. It is with mixed emotions that I report the retirement of our longtime Branch President Vince Frank. Vince started attending meetings in 1976 when our branch was part of the former Catholic Knights of St. George. In 1983, the Knights merged with William Penn Association and Vince continued attending the new Branch 800's meetings. This year, Vince will have completed 40 years of attending branch meetings. Vince officially retired at our branch's May 9 meeting. Branch 800 wishes him well in his retirement. He will be missed. Branch 800 extends June birthday greetings to several of our members: Acting President Dan Greiner, Auditor Dennis Greiner, Past President Vince Frank and former Auditor Bob Aiken. Flag Day is June 14. Let us all show our patriotism by displaying our nation's Flag. Sunday, June 19, is Father's Day. Branch 800 hopes all fathers enjoy their special day spending time with family. Our branch wishes all golfers good luck as they prepare for the 33rd Annual WPA Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days July 15 and 16. As the summer moves on, here are a couple of dates to mark on your calendar: • Wednesday, Aug. 3 - The Branch 800 summer picnic at Highland Park in Altoona, starting at 6:00 p.m. • Saturday, Aug. 27 - The WPA Picnic returns at a new location: The Hungarian Cultural Center of Northeastern Ohio in Hiram, Ohio. Once again this year, Branch 800 members are looking forward to attending and supporting our local Altoona Curve AA baseball team and, of course, the Pirates. We also hope the Penguins are continuing their drive toward the Stanley Cup. (As this is going to press, the Penguins are competing in the conference finals.) Let's go, Pens! Don't forget to contact Bob Jones for all your life insurance and annuity needs. He can be reached at 814-942-2661. Until next month, have a great June! Enjoy a taste of Hungary today!
