District Happenings: District 45 Altoona, Pennsylvania
Robin Kessler • November 10, 2020
The district officers would like to wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving, a very, merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We hope everyone takes a moment to reflect on everything they have to be thankful for in this time of uncertainty and to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
Our sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Ronald Schlecht and Frances (Frankie) Kessler. Frankie was our former treasurer and district sales representative.
We continue our GBU Cares project as we collect personal hygiene items to donate to the local shelters and the Shriners Hospital for Children. To have a donation picked up, contact Treasurer Betty Richardson (814-943-6655) or me. Motel-size or full-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. are greatly appreciated.
The Fall Pie Sale to benefit the St. Vincent De Paul Assumption Chapel Food Pantry orders were due to me by November 9. Items come in on Saturday, November 21. We will also be collecting nonperishable food items for the Food Pantry; to have a donation picked up, contact Robin and John Kessler at the number at the end of the article.
As of the writing of this article, many of our fall events are still on hold as we wait to see how the COVID-19 guidelines for social gatherings are changed. This includes the Toys for Tots Benefit Auction and the Family Christmas Party at the Unter Uns, as well as the Gift Wrapping at the Logan Valley Mall to benefit the Salvation Army. Contact me for updates.
I would like to welcome into our GBU family the new members that have recently joined GBU and District 45.

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.
There are people who give, people who serve, and people whose lives are changed because of both. All were represented at the GBU Foundation Community Grant Awards event on April 9, 2026.

To celebrate our 134th anniversary, GBU Life launched the Birthday Bash initiative, calling upon the GBU Life community to honor our fraternal legacy through service. GBU Life invited members, producers, and community leaders to assemble and deliver shelf-stable cake kits for individuals and families who may otherwise go without a birthday celebration. What can seem like a simple act of service could be the spark of hope someone needed.
