2014-02-01 / 2. szám
From the National President by George s. jr. Continuing our fraternal mission IT IS SO UPLIFTING to report that on February 21, 2014, our Association will celebrate its 128th anniversary as the only Hungarian fraternal life insurance society in the United States. As we celebrate yet another milestone, we must always remember the dedicated founders of William Penn Association. We also remember and thank all of the past and present officers, directors, former auditors, employees, sales representatives and members who devoted so much time of their lives to building our Association that is shared by us 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 of 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. William Penn Association flourishes because we strive to preach and practice fraternalism, brotherhood and financial security. To sustain this tradition, we must grow with new members, products and services, in fraternal activities and benevolent acts of generosity towards others. Our foundation was built on caring, sharing and performing acts of loving kindness, and it is right that we continue this fraternal mission as we build our future. It is inspiring to know that our Association realizes the importance of family and will continue to support the family and family values. We at WPA encourage parents and grandparents to continue stepping up, taking control and finding creative solutions that work for their families. On behalf of my wife, Dianne, and son, Steve, as a family and members, we salute William Penn Association. There are essential considerations in this most competitive business world. Let us not forget, we are competing for our members' insurance and investment needs as well as their leisure and recreational time. We are continuously working to develop new programs and products for growth. So remember, the next time one of our sales representatives asks to review your insurance, welcome him or her into your home. Our sales representatives, along with you our membership, represent our Association's future. In our 128th year of service to our members, we have again renewed our commitment with steadfast faith to restore and support branch fraternal activities and continue the passion and commitment of our Home Office staff to render prompt and efficient service. Our National Directors are prepared to meet the many new challenges which lie ahead. Our National Directors, along with your National Officers, have been planning for greater participation and attendance at our fraternal and branch activities. There are still emerging signs of "new life" at William Penn Association. Our members are seeking information about language and cultural subjects, as well as assistance in locating relatives. They are searching for their roots, recomitting themselves to the traditions they have inherited and passing on those traditions to future generations. We have begun to communicate, reassert and reestablish William Penn Association's preeminent position as a recognized leader in American-Hungarian life. We shall continue to do so. Our National Directors and National Officers continue making the changes necessary for William Penn Association's future growth and long-term success. As we move forward, our Association will continue to dedicate itself to you. Our fraternal spirit is still glowing like the spirit in the hearts of the founders of our Association more than 128 years ago. We all have a voice, and when we come together and use that voice, we can make positive changes. Keep using that voice; keep standing up and demanding something better for tomorrow. □ William Penn Life 0 February 2014 0 3
