d m "Today, we have an obligation to continue to promote leadership skills so as to insure a continued bright future for our Association." It’s our birthday! February 21,2008 / 22 years and burning brighter than ever by George S. Charles, Jr., FIC Our Association is dedicated to the promotion of service to others. While our members always come first in our minds, we also make an effort to assist others outside our membership. We have a history of dedicated individuals who over the years have labored long and hard to promote our Association and the fraternal spirit of volunteerism. While we would love to see many more of our members involved, we are indeed pleased at the good number who are promoting our Association on a regular basis in many of our branches. Today, we have an obligation to continue to promote leadership skills so as to insure a continued 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 of our Association's mission statement: "To provide financial security to our members through quality life insurance and annuity products; and, to support fraternal, ethnic, cultural, charitable, educational, patriotic and religious works." Our National Directors are prepared to meet the many new challenges which lie ahead. During the past year our National Directors, along with your National Officers, have been planning for greater participation and attendance in our fraternal and branch activities. Some of the programs planned this year include our Annual Golf Tournament (July 18 and 19) to be held in Harrisburg, Pa., our Hungarian Heritage Experience (Aug. 3 to 9) to be held at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa., and our Annual Picnic (Sept. 13) to be held at Penn Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa. We are continuously working on developing new programs and products for growth. So remember, the next time one of our sales representatives asks to review your insurance, welcome them into your home. Our sales representatives, along with you, our membership, represent our Association's future. Our Association is a strong, vibrant, growing reality and our future will continue to be strong. We must keep our Association alive making our future generations and members proud to be a part of William Penn Association. The William Penn Association has more than 29,000 life members and is licensed in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Our members can be proud of its accomplishments as well as its financial stability. On Feb. 21, 2008, the William Penn Association will celebrate its 122nd Anniversary. Our fraternal spirit is still glowing and, after 122 years, still burning brighter than ever. [wp[| William Penn Life, February 2008 3
