The Dominican Republic celebrated its 50th national convention this year with the participation of three early members of its National Spiritual Assembly. Ana Daisy Garcia, center, was elected in 1961, and she is also serving as a member now. At left is Felix Gomez, a member of the first assembly who later moved to Puerto Rico and served on the assembly there, too. At right is Rafael Benzan, a member of the regional assembly for the Caribbean that preceded the individual national assemblies. He was first elected to the national assembly in the Dominican Republic in 1962.
