District Convention February 21-23, 2020 Peachtree City, Georgia
By now, District Convention registration has closed! If you are planning on going, there are many events and activities you should be excited for. We are going to be celebrating our year's accomplishments during the award banquet where we celebrate our clubs and members. There will also be service projects to do and careeroriented workshops to attend. It’s also a time to say farewell to our old District Board and elect a new one for the upcoming year. What’s a better way to say goodbye than a pie-in-the-face fundraiser with our District Board members!
