Welcome Message from current First Lady, Teresa Francis:
Dear SOs:
Bobby and I are looking forward to the 2025 convention February 26-March 2 in charming Chattanooga, Tennessee. Make sure to mark your calendar and note the earlier date for this convention. Host Randall Coleman is joined by convention committee members Roy and June Holder and David and Cheryl Gregory in planning a fun and exciting convention.
