For Starters WPA joins America's fraternal benefit societies in saluting FIC’s this month THE NATIONAL FRATERNAL Congress of America has declared May "Fraternal Insurance Counsellor Month." It is the fraternal benefit system's way of honoring those who, in many respects, are the lifeblood of fraternal societies, including the William Penn Association. In declaring FIC Month, the NFCA recognized the dedication of FIC's to maintaining high standards of ethical conduct. It also hailed them for their efforts to continuously increase their knowledge of fraternal life insurance and for sharing their knowledge and experience with other sales representatives. The NFCA also expressed its gratitude to FIC's for their work in developing successful sales methods and for rendering adequate service to the members of fraternal societies. . We at the WPA are proud to recognize our officers, employees and representatives who have earned this professional designation. We thank our FIC's, listed below, for their service to our members and for remaining loyal to our society and Fraternalism. George S. Charles, Jr., national president; Debra S.

Spotlight fke &*l/(nqbUa,*t/olUn, Br. 14 Cleveland, OH Branch 14 members Joe and Virginia Volter recently returned home welltanned from a month-long stay in Florida this February. But, their days weren't all spent swimming in the ocean, playing golf and visiting friends and relatives. The couple spent much of their time working at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Yacht Racing Team Trials. Joe was certified last fall as a U.S. Sailing Club Race Officer and was invited to the Key Biscayne Yacht Club in Miami to help with the races there. Several other yacht clubs in Miami and Fort Lauderdale also held trials. The winners of all trial races in their class will represent the U.S. A. at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The Volters were involved in races which took place in the bay three miles southwest off the tip of Key Biscayne State Park. Virginia served on the "49er Course" as a recorder. Joe was stationed at the start line of the "Yngling Course." Joe said doing racing in Florida is a lot different than racing on Lake Erie. There are more wind shifts and less wave action, and racers must deal with tide changes when setting a course. Overall, the Volters helped officate 34 races over 10 days. The opening and closing ceremonies were conducted in traditional Olympic style. The Olympic flag was raised on the first night, along with 13 state flags representing the homes of the competitors. When the flags were lowered 10 days later, the Champagne Party began. The Volters agreed that it was an honor to be part of this event. 2 Willi» Pen Life, May 2004
