Charles, Jr. National President * * PITTSBURGH - On Thursday, April, 23, our Association took part in “Take Our Young People to Work Day,” a day when employees were invited to bring a daughter, son or other young relative to the Home Office to see first-hand how our Association conducts business. The young additions to our “employee roster” that day were: * Jessica Garofalo, 10, daughter of Antoinette Garofalo; * Megan Holmes, 7, daughter of Cassandra Holmes; * Lauren Ratkiewicz, 6, niece of Diane M. Torma; * Alexandra Tew, 4 'A, granddaughter of Geraldine Davenport; * Christopher Toth, 7, son of Richard W. Toth and sponsored by Uncle John S. Toth; and * Richard Toth, 10, son of Richard W. Toth. After initialing the daily employee roster, the children were given an informal tour of the Home Office and then taken to the Board Room. There, our young people were greeted by the national president who informed them about the importance of the Board of Directors and its duties. Each child was then made an honorary Board member for the morning. A board meeting was held and our young people learned about the importance of teamwork. Each child was then given an individual project to complete. After all the individual projects were finished, the children worked as a team to put their separate pieces of work together. The result was a beautiful, colorful banner spelling out “William Penn Association,” which now hangs in the reception area of the Home Office. Before adjourning the Board meeting, our young “directors” voted to make themselves temporary national vice presidents. They then returned to the Home Office to dictate a letter to one of our secretaries. They each proofread their letter, signed it, and forwarded it for distribution to the adult they came to work with. After lunch our young executives performed tasks at various work stations. Before the close of business for the day, each young person was presented with a certificate of appreciation for sharing and participating in the day’s activities. Our Association was happy to sponsor this day and the children seemed to enjoy their day in the working world of the WPA. o°°° ’ ál FIC’s May has been declared Fraternal Insurance Counsellor Month by the National Fraternal Congress of America.
