For Starters General^A/^ Conventfon The General Convention—WPA's governing body—will convene Sept. 4-6, 201 I, in Pittsburgh. In preparation for this event, WPA recently announced the establishment of the Convention’s Delegate Districts. It is from these Delegate Districts that the Convention’s elected delegates will be chosen. These elected delegates ensure that our members’ voices are heard as the Association makes decisions which will affect its activities over the next four years. Which Delegate District has your branch been assigned to? Find out by turning to Pages 24 and 25 of this issue. To learn how Delegate Districts are created, see Page 23. And, be sure to check our April issue to learn when and where your Delegate District elections will be held. Enjoying the Feher Roza Bál Chair of the WPA Board of Directors Barbara A.

Ivancso, William J. Bern, Roger G. Nagy and Ronald S. Balia. P5 Supporting the family THE FAMILY UNIT has been a key ingredient in America's success. Respect for others, hard work, personal ethics, responsibility and a commitment to public service are among the family values I view as extremely important for the success of our nation. The only function of the family that continues to survive all change is the provision of affection and emotional support by and to all its members. William Penn Association realizes the importance of the family and will continue to support family and family values. Members active in our branches nationwide support one another within our fraternal family. Our dedication to fraternal principles brings us together and provides a necessary division of labor to spark increased interest and growth for us as an organization. I am certainly proud of the many fraternal efforts offered by our members who truly extend their efforts throughout the year in the spirit in which it was intended. This is best summed up by Theodore Roosevelt who stated: It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to tire man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; wlw strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. □ From the National President by George 5.
