Two general sessions, an executive board meeting, a birthday luncheon as well as the banquet, 10 workshops, and a great mini market were enjoyed by participants. Ed Grisamore, a columnist for The Macon Telegraph and recipient of the 2010 Will Rogers Humaritarian Award, as well as the 2012 Georgia Author of the Year, was the Friday night keynote speaker.
Sidney Lanier, who was born in Macon in 1842, made a surprise appearance at the luncheon. He entertained members as he talked about his poems and music.
A QR Code Convention Scavenger Hunt provided a new outlet for the techno savy members and significant monetary prizes were given to the winners.
The Celebration of Life Ceremony, conducted by Jo Davis, and the State Membership Committee was most impressive. Three past state organization presidents, Malissa Cox, Mary Crooks and Page Loyd were remembered as well as members from all chapters in the six districts.
