William Penn Association: A strong, vibrant, growing reality Reflections on our Association's 124th anniversary by George S. Charles, Jr., FIC On February 21, 2010, our Association will celebrate its 124th anniversary. As we celebrate yet another milestone, we should again pay special tribute to the dedicated founders of the William Penn Association. We also owe thanks to all of the past and present officers, directors, former auditors, employees, sales representatives and members that devoted so much time of their lives in building our Association that is shared by us all today, with much pride and fond memories. Our Association is still 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 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. We have an excellent working fraternal team. Each of our officers, directors and home office employees contributes his or her 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 and Scholarship Days, to be held July 16 and 17 in Blairsville, Pa.; our Hungarian Heritage Experience, to be held Aug. 1 to 7 at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa.; our WPA Picnic-A Great Fraternal Fest, to be held Sept. 11 at Scenic View in Rockwood, Pa.; and our sponsored trip to Hungary, Sept. 30 to Oct. 15. 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 almost 28,000 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. Our National Directors and National Officers are committed to making the changes necessary for the William Penn Association's future growth and longterm success.
