Announcements

It’s so wonderful to see flowers blooming and Robins singing. I am enjoying a Dove in my basket. She is not shy at all and I can’t wait to see her babies. With nice weather, many kids have already been enjoying the nice weather recently. School will be out soon, so please use caution when driving in your areas. Kids don’t always think about what they are doing.

We welcome all members to attend our meetings the 1st Thursday of each month except June & July. The meetings are held at 7:00pm at the Slovak CU at 910 Sixth Ave in Ford City. Call me @ 724-763-9229 or email me @ vschaub123@gmail.com for any details or suggestions of what you would like to see happen in 2024.

Dear Members: We have had a lot going on in the Social Club. Stop in and check out the schedule. We’d love to see you. We now have an email address: scubranch200@gmail.com and hope to get a Facebook page started.

I have been receiving calls about beneficiaries lately and this brings me to ask you to check your policies to make sure they are up to date. Please feel free to call me @ 724-763-9229 or email me vschaub123@gmail.com to make arrangements to go over your policies. If you have computer and printer access, you can go online- Fist Catholic Slovak Union, forms, scroll down for Member Service Request Form, print out, complete and drop off @ my house or mail it directly to the Home Office. This is required to be notarized. Many of us fail to review and make changes periodically.

Anyone that would like to have prayer for our deceased member, please call to have this arranged. For many years this has been done but with shorter funeral visitation days/times it has been difficult to arrange for our members to get together, attend, and have prayer. Grace Charney does a fantastic job.

Fraternally,
Vicki Schaub

If anyone knows the names of players that were on the baseball team around World War II, please contact me @ 724-763-9229. Paul Klacha donated a team uniform which has been placed in a glassed frame to preserve. There are 5 known players but that’s not enough for a full team. Charney, and Habrovsky, are 2 family names that we know. Our hope is someone has a photo and/or names of all or any of the players. Our 125th anniversary is coming up in 2020 and we would like to show case this. If anyone has any history, memorabilia, photos of the past that you would like to share, please call or mail to CU Branch 200 910 6th Avenue, Ford City, PA 16226. Please note if the items are to be returned following our anniversary celebration. 2020 may sound like a long time away but the planning starts now for a successful event and it will be here before we know it. Anyone that would like to participate in the planning, please let me know and what you would be interested in. Many hands make for less work.

The home office has continued to offer 1st year $14.00 premium paid on $10,000.00 JEP policies. We are happy to announce our branch will pay the 2nd year premium. Should the home office discontinue this, we will continue by paying the 1st year premium. Other insurance policies are available for your needs. It’s something we all should plan and remember the younger the cheaper. Do you have a child or grandchild that doesn’t have any material needs, this is a great gift option. Burial costs are very expensive to families that are not insured. Accidents happen and we all need to be prepared. Call and I will gladly mail out some literature to review or will arrange to meet with you. Please leave a message if I am not available. No pressure.

Fraternally,
Vicki L. Schaub, Fin. Sec./Treas
