The party was one of dozens hosted by William Penn branches throughout the country during the recent holiday season. While held on different days in different locations, all the William Penn parties shared several important features: many smiling, happy children full of the wonder of Christmas; a family-oriented atmosphere; and the comfort and warmth generated by true fraternal fellowship.
