Minutes of the Board of Directors Quarterly Meeting JUNE 10- 11 -12, 1968, PITTSBURGH, PA. 1. President, Elmer Charles, opened with greetings the Second Quarterly Meeting of the Board of Directors. He reflected on the sudden death of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy and quoted the following: “The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is, himself, a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and to hold’ but ‘to give and to serve’.” There can be no other meaning. This quote reflects what the late Senator Kennedy stood for, and it also reflects what the members of the William Penn Fraternal Association and the principals of the official family stand for. Pres­ident Charles requested the Board Mem­bers to rise, at which time he said a prayer in memory of Senator Kennedy and the Association Members who died. On a happier note, President Charles anounced the recent marriage of Gaspar Papp, former Chairman of the Auditing Committee and Val Konyha, former member of the Auditing Committee. He congratulated them on behalf of the Association and wished them a long, healthful and happy life together. Pres­ident Charles hopes the -deliberations are understanding and fruitful and ex­tended his best wishes for a successful meeting. 2. Board Chairman, John P. Balia, officially calls the meeting to order. He too extended warm greetings to the Board Members and National Officers and calls upon the Board Secretary to call the roll. 3.
