"Our Association is a strong, vibrant, growing reality, and our future is going to be strong." Working towards a prosperous future while celebrating a successful past by George S. Charles, Jr., FIC On Feb. 21,2003, our Association will celebrate its 117th anniversary. As we celebrate this milestone, we pay special tribute to the 13 dedicated founders of the William Penn Association and all of the past and present officers, directors, auditors, employees, sales representatives and members that devoted so much of their lives to building our Association that is shared by all of us today, with so much pride and fond memories. Your dedication, loyalty and commitment to our goals are based on our many years of progress generated by thousands of dedicated people who were determined to move forward. Our continued objective is to build fraternal programs at the local and national levels that will attract prospective members to our organization. We also have an obligation to continue to promote leadership skills so as to ensure a bright future for our Association. We must believe that the cornerstone of our existence is firmly rooted in dignity and responsibility. We must recognize talent, ability and loyalty. Our Association has been fortunate in that we have many members of all ages involved in our many programs and activities. I have been associated with the WPA since birth and have had the privilege of working for the Association for over 29 years. Over those years, I have seen and known of so much potential within our membership. Without a doubt, it has been a great pleasure and continuing learning experience for me to represent you. I hope you know how much 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 a family and members, we salute the William Penn Association. Our Association is one of the finest fraternal benefit societies in existence. We can grow and continue to prosper with good leaders and programs. I am very proud to be a leader of the William Penn Association. My goal is to continue to serve you with enthusiasm, intelligence and care, guided by ideals, dedication and love. Although at times some tasks are tough, it is always foremost in my mind that you have placed your trust in me, and I will not let you down. Our product portfolio is comparable with the commercial insurance industry, and it is constantly being updated to meet the changing needs of our entire membership. Our administration is prepared to meet the many new challenges which lie ahead. As we celebrate another anniversary, we look forward to the opportunities given to our membership by our Association through the many benefits and products we offer our existing and prospective members. Our Association is a strong, vibrant, growing reality and our future is going to be strong. We must keep our Association alive, making future generations of members proud to be a part of the William Penn Association. Let us work together, pray together and serve together. May the future be rewarding for all of us. As we move forward, our Association will continue to dedicate ourselves to you. Our fraternal spirit is still glowing like the spirit in the hearts of the founders of our Association more than 117 years ago. C jfc William Pena Lite, February 2003 3
