Hello All,

I recently learned that the hotels reserved for our annual convention in Nashville February 22-25, 2023 are rapidly filling up. If any of the chapter members are going to Nashville next year for the convention you really need to consider reserving your hotel rooms at this time.    

There will not be a host hotel for the convention next year - rather SCI reserved seven hotels that are within walking distance of the Music City Center. I was told most of the hotels are almost 50% booked by May 15. So. I am sending out this Announcement recommending that if you are going to the convention - please don't wait - get your rooms reserved as soon as possible. 

                                          Here's the link to hotels

Our banquet for next year is already set - Saturday, February 4, 2023. So, please mark your calendars.   Now I am looking forward to our monthly meetings. Once I can get some events arranged I'll let everyone know. 

                                             PLEASE NOTE  

Beginning with the pandemic and associated restrictions on group events, and now with rampant inflation I am truly struggling to find a place to hold a monthly meeting at is both convenient and cost effective. I'm not sure if we'll have any monthly meeting this year as so far my searches of not been positive. The places we used in the past are either closed, or extremely expensive at this time.  If anyone has any suggestions please email or call me as I am just about out of options.
