From the National President by George S. Charles, Jr. Fulfilling our mission for 129 years On Feb. 21, our Association will celebrate its 129th anniversary. As we celebrate yet another milestone, we pay special tribute to the dedicated founders of William Penn Association and all of the past and present officers, directors, employees, sales representatives and members who have devoted so much of their lives to building our Association that is shared by us all today, with much pride and fond memories. Our Association remains 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 also 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. Our Association has been fortunate in that we have many members of all ages involved in many programs and activities. I am truly proud of the fact that I have been associated with WPA since birth and have had the privilege of working for the Association over 40 years. Without a doubt, it still is a great pleasure and continuing learning experience for me to represent you. Please know that I sincerely appreciate your support and trust. It is inspiring to know that our Association realizes the importance of family and will continue to support the family and family values. On behalf of my wife Dianne and son Steve, as family and members, we salute William Penn Association. 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. They are continuously working on developing new programs and products for growth. Remember, when 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 part of William Penn Association. May the future be rewarding for all of us. We all have a voice, and when we come together and use that voice for all the right reasons, we can make positive changes. As we continue to move forward, our Association will continue to dedicate itself to you. Our fraternal spirit is still glowing like the spirit in the hearts of our founders more than 129 years ago. □ Turn your scholarship donation into a message or greeting Looking for a different way to wish your child a happy birthday?
