Volume 22 December 1987 Number 12 I Seminar helps agents to provide improved service By Daniel R. Wahl, fic.clu National Sales Director CORAOPOLIS, PA — A special sales seminar for the Association’s part-time representatives and branch coordinators was held Nov. 7 at the Flaugherty House in Coraopolis, Pa. The seminar was designed to provide those in attendance with a thorough knowledge of all of the William Penn’s insurance and savings plans. The program was led by National Sales Director Daniel R. Wahl, F1C, CLU, who shared a number of ideas on selling techniques with the 7 5 representatives and coordinators in attendance. The group was treated to a fine dinner and were encouraged by an enlightening and motivating speech delivered by National President Stephen G. Danko. In his remarks, President Danko urged all of our producers to continue to help the William Penn Association thrive and prosper through an infusion of new members. He particularly stressed the importance of enrolling new juvenile members, since it is the children who will carry our Association into the next century. It was also announced at the dinner that National Director Elmer Toth was declared the winner of the most recent sales contest. Director Toth enrolled 26 new juvenile members in the threemonth contest period. Ron Perkins of the Cleveland Agency placed second in the contest for enrolling 14 children, and William Kovach of Phoenixville, Pa., was third with 10 juvenile applications. In conjunction with this contest, a special random drawing was held from among all the new juvenile members enrolled during the contest period. Both of the two children drawn will receive a $50 U.S. Savings Bond. The winners were Danielle Lynn Petras, 16, of McKeesport, Pa., and László G. Katona, 7, of Photographs from the sales seminar appear on Page 10. Chicago. Our congratulations to both of these new members. The William Penn is striving to provide our membership with the finest products and service available. We will accomplish this by properly preparing all of our representatives to serve you. We would also like to thank all of those who took the time to attend the seminar and sincerely hope that the next seminar will be even bigger and better. Holiday Basket project aids needy families PITTSBURGH — In the true spirit of fraternalism, many Association branches are helping to make this holiday season a happier one for many needy families in their communities. To date, 17 branches in six states have pledged to donate baskets filled with turkeys, hams and other food items to those less fortunate than themselves. The donations are part of the Holiday Basket program sponsored by the Home Office. So far, the branches have committed to providing 57 baskets of food. Fraternal Director Elizabeth Szabó said she is confident that last year’s total of 58 baskets will be broken soon. "The way our members and branches have been responding to this program has been wonderful,” Ms. Szabó said. "We hear from more branches each week who want to help out. I can only encourage those who haven’t already responded to keep their commitments coming. ’ ’ The food baskets will be distributed between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Branches wishing to participate in the program should write to Ms. Szabó in care of the Home Office. Branches which have already made their pledges are: Branch 1 Bridgeport, Conn.; Branch 19 New Brunswick, N.J.; Branch 27 Toledo, Ohio; Branch 28 Youngstown, Ohio; Branch 34 Pittsburgh; Branch 52 Windber, Pa.; Branch 59 Windber, Pa.; Branch 76 Philadelphia; Branch 214 Flint, Mich.; Branch 590 Cape Coral, Fla.; Branch 8019 Pittsburgh; Branch 8020 McKees Rocks, Pa.; Branch 8057 Verona, Pa.; Branch 8149 Pittsburgh; Branch 8164 Steubenville, Ohio; Branch 8222 Pittsburgh; and Branch 8286 Philadelphia. Another way members and branches can help the needy this holiday season is by supporting other charitable projects in their communities. Branch 8048 Latrobe, Pa., extended a fraternal hand by making a monetary donation to Julius’ Turkeys, a project supported by a television station in Pittsburgh. And Branch 8330 Baltimore regular supports Rita’s Supper Table, which provides meals for the hungry in their community. "There are so many ways we can help the less fortunate,” Ms. Szabó said. "It’s heartening to see our branches and members participating in these efforts.” Inside ■ NFCA holds annual meeting in Chicago.................Page 2, ■ A special look at the first Avent.........................Page 3. ■ Pittsburgh branches sponsor dinner.........................Page 7. ■ Proposed Hungarian school seeks students..........Page 9. ■ Minutes of the 31st General Convention ...
