Branch News imuio.wpalife.org. It's important that you review all of the rules. The same goes for our returning students. If you have any questions, call 800-848-7366, ext. 128. Do not wait until the last possible moment. All students must complete an application and include it with their essay. Remember, completed applications and essays must be postmarked by May 31. Do not fax or email your applications and essays; they are to be placed in the mail! In fact, certified mail is actually the best option, as it ensures that our Home Office receives what you've sent. During our branch's meeting on May 10, we will be doing our annual Join Hands Day project. That's why we will be moving up the start of that meeting to 5:30 p.m. After a brief business meeting, we'll decorate and assemble snack bags which will be delivered to Pittsburgh's Ronald McDonald House. Located next to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, the Ronald McDonald House provides food, housing and a sense of well-being to families of children who are undergoing long care treatment at the hospital. Branch 296 started a nice tradition of providing a little boost for the families with these cheerful snack bags. We're asking for some volunteers, both youth and adult members. If any youth members need community service hours for school, we will gladly sign off on that for you. This is a fun and easy project and allows Branch 296 to show its fraternal spirit. Along the way we have great conversation, while we compliment and encourage one another. Once we're done, we're rewarded with a King's treat. Please mark May 10 on your calendars and "join hands" with us. Noreen Fritz, our local WPA agent, is happy to assist you with any of your life insurance and annuity needs. Email Noreen at noreenbunny.fritz@verizon.net or call her at 412-821-1837. Noreen attends most of our branch meetings. If you have any questions, she will willingly spend time listening to you. Spring has officially arrived, and we anticipate longer days, milder weather and all that this season of renewal has to offer. Branch 349 Weirton, WV______ by Joyce Nicholson Greetings from Branch 349 in the Ohio Valley area! Well, Punxsutawney Phil predicted on Feb. 2 that there would be six more weeks of winter weather. Unfortunately, that little weatherprognosticating rodent was right! We experienced some nasty weather in February and March. We hope that is now all behind us, and we can move on to warmer weather and outdoor activities. One outdoor activity we're looking forward to is our branch picnic, held jointly with the Ohio Valley Hungarian Club, on Sunday, May 27, at Warren Township Park in Yorkville, Ohio, beginning at 1:00 p.m. Bring a dessert or side dish. And, if you plan to roast bacon around the fire pit, bring your own chair and bacon fork. Everything else will be provided. Hope to see you there for good fellowship and food! We wish happy birthday to branch members with April birthdays and best wishes to members celebrating anniversaries. Birthdays this month include Dora McKinsey, Steve Charles and Adam Sedar. Our prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones recently. On April 22, we celebrate International Earth Day, which is a global day of action, raising awareness of ideas to support a happy and healthy planet. The next day, April 23, you can celebrate your inner bookworm on World Book Day. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization organized World Book Day as a day of celebrating the pleasure of reading for enjoyment. Get your geek on and wear it proudly this World Book Day. Then, on April 24, it's "Pigs in a Blanket Day." William Penn Association and branches have so many fun events and activities going on this year. Keep checking William Penn Life for dates, locations and information about all of them. I hope you can attend many of them! For additional information about Branch 349 activities, or if you have any news to share, please call Joyce Nicholson at 740-264-6238.
