ANOTHER FIRST FOR BRANCH 193!

                                   Branch 193 achieved another first when Retiree Francis Hanley’s granddaughter
                                      Elizabeth Aldridge was selected to receive the California State Association’s
                                    Saxsenmeier Scholarship. Elizabeth was the first grandchild selected to receive
                                     this honor. Elizabeth is an outstanding student who finished high school with
                                      a GPA of 4.268 to rank fifth in her class of 564 at Watsonville High School
                                       last year. Elizabeth is attending University of California at Berkeley this fall.

Congratulations, Elizabeth!

         Our Annual Branch 193 Family Christmas Dinner was another success!
            Everyone enjoyed the company of family, friends and Santa Claus.
