Your dedication, loyalty and commitment to our goals is based on our many years of progress generated by thousands of dedicated people who were determined to move forward. We must continue to support programs within our branches that are designed to bring members together more closely in the bonds of brotherly love. Our continued objective is to build fraternal programs at the local and national levels that will attract prospective members to our organization. We must continue to grow to the limit of our capacity for the sake of progress. We also have an obligation to continue to promote leadership skills so as to insure a bright future for our Association. All of us realize how \_______________________________________________ important it is that our youth be given a chance to possess leadership skills. By helping and promoting our members, we are helping to better our Association. Our Association has been fortunate in that we have many members of all ages involved in our many programs and activities. We have an excellent working fraternal team. Our officers, directors and Home Office staff contribute their talents to the ideals upon which the William Penn Association was built: to provide financial security for our members; to preserve and promote the Hungarian cultural heritage; and to serve our communities through charitable and benevolent work. Today, our Association has more than 44,000 life-benefit members and is licensed in 19 states. Our members can be proud of its accomplishments, as well as its financial stability. Our life insurance portfolio is comparable with the commercial insurance industry, and it is constantly being updated to meet the changing needs of our entire membership. Our fraternal spirit is still glowing like the spirit in the hearts of the founders of our Association more than 113 years ago. It is with pride that your leadership is moving toward the future with the same spirit, loyalty, enthusiasm and dedication as demonstrated by our forefathers. This is in the hope and expectation that all of you will help in the endeavor and join the team to build a stronger society for future generations. George S. Charles, Jr. National President _____________________J WPA invites members to experience Hungary NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ - Members and friends of the WPA interested in experiencing the sights, sounds and flavors of Hungary are welcome to join either of two tours to “The Land of the Magyars” being sponsored by the Association this year.
