FRATERNAL WEEK

WILLIAM PENN ASSOCIATION is joining the ninety-seven other fraternal benefit societies affiliated with the National Fraternal Congress of America in observing Fraternal Week, June 8 - 14, and in placing special emphasis on National Flag Day, June 14.

Members of all of these societies — more than eleven million in total — are urged to remind all Americans on Flag Day that a rebirth of patriotism is needed to focus worldwide attention on the enduring values of our free society. All fraternalists are urged to celebrate at that time by holding and attending patriotic ceremonies honoring the flag. All fraternalists are also urged to call the attention of the general public to the importance of fraternalism and the many civic and community services it inspires. It is requested that as many programs as possible be focused on the 1975 Fraternal Week theme which is, “Fraternalism Makes a Difference.”
