The purpose of The Pennsylvania Society is to promote patriotic interest in Pennsylvania. This it seeks to accomplish by its Annual Dinner, which has become one of the most notable gatherings of the kind in the City of New York, by meetings held from time to time, and by the publication of its Year Book. The Society has, for some years, been collecting a Library of Pennsylvania books. In 1911' it erected a memorial to William Penn in Allhallows Barking, London, in which church Penn was baptized. The present volume is the Eighteenth Year Book. The Society is specifically concerned with the good name of the State of Pennsylvania, its good deeds and its good men; and its annual festival and other activities rest on this foundation. To preserve the good name and the fair fame of the State, and to aid in promoting those causes and methods which tend to that end, is its real work. It invites every son of Pennsylvania who values these things to join with it in the fulfillment of its purpose. The Society has an office at 249 West 13th Street, New York, where its Library is installed, and which is freely open to members. The active membership may include any person who is a native, or the descendant of a native, of the State of Pennsylvania, or who was a resident of the State for a continuous period of seven years. The non-resident membership may include any person residing in Pennsylvania, or born therein, or who has been a resident thereof for seven consecutive years, and resides elsewhere than in the city of New York, and not within fifty miles thereof. Members receive one copy gratis of each publication of the Society, with the privilege of purchasing other copies at reduced prices; they have the right to subscribe to the Annual Dinners of the Society and to attend such meetings and exercises as may be arranged. The annual dues for Active Members are $5.00 per year, and for Non-Resident $3.00, with an entrance fee for either of $10.00. Membership December 31, 1917 Kalendar: 1917 17 Annual Meeting.
