Dear Tennessee Members, Please read the information below by State Conference Chair Carla Riley, and learn about the exciting 120th State Conference that is being planned for you. I can’t wait to see you there! Love, Emily Robinson
Are you getting excited for our 120th State Conference? Spring is just around the corner and it will soon be time to gather in Franklin, Tennessee for our annual event. Why should you attend? We have celebrations planned for the entire weekend, with opportunities to learn some history and enjoy good meals, all while you smile and shop until your face and feet are tired! We have workshops to educate you with a dive into the DNA pool, to help you unravel the historical myths of a storied encampment, and to entertain you with an interactive musical exploration of a famous national march. Of course, you will not want to miss Opening Night as we welcome our President General and celebrate our ties of service and friendship, present awards to amazing volunteers, and sash our Tennessee Society Outstanding Junior.
What better way to start your Saturday than by celebrating our Juniors and discovering the storied past of our own beautiful State Capitol, complete with rarely seen photographs? Join us for lunch and discover new ways to inspire patriotism in our young citizens. Help us commemorate our victory in WWII on Saturday evening, as we honor and recognize our Chapter Regents and enjoy our talented TSDAR State Chorus. We will have you singing and tapping your feet at Sunday’s brunch as we celebrate the anniversary of a famous Tennessee landmark.
Believe it or not, we have only scratched the surface – there is so much more! Be on the lookout for your upcoming issue of the Tennessee Society newsletter, arriving in your inbox by mid-February. It will provide the full details on our speakers, visiting state regents, and schedule of events. In the meantime, please bookmark our State Conference website and check back often as we will details will be released here in advance of the newsletter.
I look forward to seeing you April 24 – 27 at the Franklin Cool Springs Marriott! It will be a non-stop, fun-filled experience building memories and friendships to celebrate for a lifetime!
Carla A. Riley
TSDAR State Conference Chair
