Branch News Next Deadline May 8 casion of Branch Secretary-Treasurer Ruth D. Toth's 89th birthday. What a great way to celebrate by using this occasion to also serve as a branch activity. You can see by the picture that people truly enjoyed themselves. We at Branch 89 continue to be grateful for all our members who come out and support our events. Fraternalism can always be found at our branch. Work continues at The First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead (where we hold our quarterly meetings) to repair the damage caused by heavy rains. Much of the $35,000 in damages will most likely not be covered by insurance. If anyone would like to make a donation for this cause, checks may be sent to Branch Vice President Mark Maskarinec, 1836 Timothy Dr., West Mifflin, PA 15122. All donations are tax deductible and will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged. Save our church. Our forefathers would be truly proud. Mark the date: Saturday, June 29, for a special golf outing at Champion Lakes to benefit this project. Please check back for further information on time and price. For anyone who has golfed in any of the outings at Champion Lakes, you know what a terrific time to expect and what wonderful hosts Dick Groat and his daughter can be. It's a real joy holding an event at their establishment and also being able to stay at their bed and breakfast ahead of time. Take care everyone, and start those stretching exercises. Golf is right around the corner. Yes, we are preparing for our annual golf outing. We promise it will be even bigger and better than last year's event, if that is even possible. We have also added a mystery flight winner. Join us on Sunday, Aug. 11 at Butler's Golf Course in Elizabeth, Pa. Take care, stay healthy and try and do something nice for someone. It takes so little effort to smile, less effort than it does to complain or have a frown on your face. Life is short and we need to cherish each and every person and enjoy every minute we are given. Branch 129 Columbus, OH by Debbie Lewis Happy spring and happy May. We have been having great weather lately with many days in the 60s and 70s. It has been wonderful weather for the start of baseball, picnics and kids playing outside. Hope the weather stays like this until summer arrives. Special days for this month include: May Day (May 1), Cinco de Mayo (May 5), Mother's Day (May 12), Armed Forces Day (May 18) and Memorial Day (May 27). Our branch again participated in Join Hands Against Hunger. We collected and purchased boxed and canned items and delivered them to the Grove City Food Pantry. The folks at the pantry were very appreciative. It always make you feel good to help others who are less fortunate. We also participated in the Easter Basket program by donating groceries to two families for their Easter meal. Don't forget: all new and renewal applications for WPA scholarship grants must be mailed and postmarked by May 31. This is a great program for our youth members. If you have been a recipient or have had children or grandchildren benefit from this program, please consider giving back with a monetary donation. We congratulate all those celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and additions to their families this month. Get well wishes to all who have been ill or hospitalized. Hope you all have a speedy recovery. We extend our sincere sympathy to all those who have recently lost a loved one. For all your life insurance and annuity needs, or if you have any news you would like to share in William Penn Life, please contact Debbie Lewis at 614-875-9968 or email DAL9968@aol.com. Branch 132 South Bend, IN by John E. Burus Where is spring? We keep experiencing a slight warming trend that is followed by a severe freezing trend. Looking forward to normal temperatures and weather for a change. I am also starting to think about the garden and those fresh vegetables. At the last Branch 132 meeting on Dec. 4, elections were held and all officers maintained their current positions: President - John Burus Vice President - Don Czajkowski Treasurer - Janos Burus Secretary - Lindsey Burus Auditor - Anna Horvath Auditor - Susan Marshall Janos Burus also serves as branch coordinator. The next Branch 132 meeting will be held on June 4 at the Martin's Supermarket Deli in Erskine Plaza (first floor) on Ireland Road, South Bend at 5:00 p.m. Our summer picnic will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Potawatomi Park Pavilion #1 in South Bend. This event will be held rain or shine as we have a roof to keep us dry. The club will provide Martin's chicken and Eby's Polish sausage, sodas, water and utensils, as in the past. We ask that all attending members RSVP their headcount by July 26 so we know how much food to order. Contact Janos P. Burus at 574-287-0590 or email john.e.burus@honeywell.com. Please bring a dish or dessert to share. Branch 189 Alliance, OH by Rhonda Mobley Greetings from Branch 189!
