GFWC Official Calls

• GFWC Southern Region Conference, October 17-20, 2019 at North Charleston Marriott in Charleston, South Carolina.

  At last, the moment you've all been waiting for— the arrival of the Official Call to Southern Region Conference! I so have a little secret —it is going to be fun! Most importantly is the election of officers for Southern Region; Mississippi has a candidate—Tammie M. McCoy! Yay! Most exciting is that our Mississippi Jennie Award Nominee Libby Everett will be recognized! Yay! And more excitement and promise of great fun is the Harbor Dinner Cruise with BBQ and jazz on Thursday night. The Board Meeting will be on Friday morning before the tour, so the Dinner cruise on Thursday is open to everyone. The tour on Friday will be to the tea plantation then downtown Charleston with the option of taking a carriage ride tour or shopping and eating, or maybe both!  And I just might be a little excited over the fact that James Beard Award -winning authors and culinary ambassadors to Charleston, Matt and/or Ted Lee will be at the conference for a book signing! And last but certainly not least, our GFWC International President Mary Ellen Brock and President-elect Marian St. Clair will be the special guests.  In addition to all the fun, the Conference is filled with empowering information on Membership, Leadership, the Juniors' Special Program, and Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention.  It is going to be a great conference —who knows, I might sing and dance again! With Chris Stapleton being in concert next door to the hotel, South Carolina President Juliet Casper advised on booking early, so don't get left behind. Hoping to have a great group to attend. In Federation love, Becky . Postmark deadline for registration is September 12th and Room Reservation deadline is September 16th.
