For Starters Convention Update THE GENERAL CONVENTION, the William Penn Association’s governing body, will convene Sept. 3 to 5, 2007, in Pittsburgh. In preparation for this important event, WPA members across the country will be gathering in May to elect delegates who will represent them at the Convention. This month’s William Penn Life contains information concerning these elections that we believe all members should read. First, turn to Page 9 and read the Notice of Qualifications for Delegates to the 36th General Convention. This notice contains excerpts from the Association’s By-Laws, outlining who is eligible to serve as a delegate. If you wish to serve as a Delegate to the Convention, or if you wish to have your say by voting in your district’s delegate election, turn to Pages 10 and I I of this issue to learn when and where your district’s election meeting will be held. Results of the Delegate District elections will be published in the August issue of the William Penn Life. Last call for bowling tournament entries and reservations...

PLEASE NOTE: Those donating prizes for the Chinese Auction are asked to bring their prize baskets to the bowling registration table, located in the Radisson Hotel lobby, on Friday, May 4.
