We can now look forward to nicer days and enjoy the outdoors. Soon, planting season will begin. There are two special holidays that are celebrated in the month of May. The first is Mother's Day which falls on May 12 this year. Count your blessings if you are fortunate enough to still have your mother with you. Their love cannot be matched. The other holiday is Memorial Day, celebrated on May 27 this year. We must remember the sacrifices made by those who have died while serving in our armed forces in the name of freedom. Remember to thank a veteran for their service. We must also remember those who serve as a policeman or fireman. They, too, are put in harm's way for our safety. May the families of those who have lost a loved one in the service of our country be comforted. Join Hands Day is officially celebrated on May 4 this year. Look for further information on Branch 352's plans for Join Hands Day in the June issue of William Penn Life. Come join us! We would love to meet you and spend some time getting to know you. All ages are welcome. The month of May is Foster Care month. The commitment that anyone has to have to be a foster care parent is to be commended. If you know of anyone who has a foster child, please try to help them whenever possible. It isn't easy, but it is so worthwhile and rewarding, for both the parent and the child. Happy birthday to all those celebrating a birthday this month. May Branch 400 member Heather Kay is the volunteer coordinator each year for Bank of America's Easter basket outreach program in the Charlotte, N.C., area. The baskets go to a Charlotte area foster care program so that all foster care children have an Easter basket. This year, Heather and her fellow employees created and donated 85 baskets. you have many more, and may all of them be healthy. Our condolences to anyone who has recently lost a loved one.
