General Convention In preparation for WPA’s General Convention this September, members gathered in May in their assigned Delegate Districts to elect delegates who will represent them at the Convention. Each district also elected an equal number of alternate delegates. The results of these Delegate District elections have been received at the Home Office and are now being certified to ensure: (I) the eligibility of those elected; and (2) that all aspects of the William Penn Association By-Laws governing the election process were followed. The official list of General Convention delegates, alternate delegates and ex-officio delegates will appear in the August issue of William Penn Life.

I am now grown and married to a United States Army Ranger. We have recently relocated to Fort Benning, Ga. In moving here I have been doing some sightseeing and, of course, visiting all of the local monuments on and off post and visiting the local museums. In going to visit the Ranger Memorial, I came across something I found very pleasing. I was reading all of the assorted plaques and explanations, and I came across something they call "Friends of the Rangers." This is a list of all of the people who have donated to the Rangers for various reasons. I came across William Penn Association. Imagine my excitement! So, 1 thought I would share this little finding with those who may enjoy it the most, all the members of William Penn Association. It makes me proud to say that an association I belong to from Pittsburgh, Pa., has taken the time to recognize our troops, even if they are way down here in Georgia, or wherever they happen to be. Every time I visit the Ranger memorial, I will be reminded not only how proud I am of my husband but also how proud I am of my membership with an amazing fraternal society that takes time to recognize those who put themselves in harms way so that organizations like WPA can do what they do best—help people in their own ways. Thank you for making me a very proud member!
