MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 16, 2024 10:28 AM
From: Representative Donna Oberlander
To: All House members
Subject: Designating October 14, 2024, as "William Penn Day" in Pennsylvania
 
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution designating October 14, 2024, as “William Penn Day” in Pennsylvania in honor of the 380th birthday of Pennsylvania’s Found Father, William Penn.  

Born on October 14, 1644, in London, England, William Penn was an English Quaker leader and advocate of religious freedom who oversaw the founding of this Commonwealth.  Penn established the city of Philadelphia and created a government that would embody his Quaker ideas.  Presiding over the first Assembly, William Penn saw the government of the “lower counties” united with that of Pennsylvania and the Frame of Government incorporated in the Great Law of the province.

Please join me in celebrating the 380th birthday of Pennsylvania’s Founding Father, William Penn.
