I just got back from Convention last night and am bursting with PAD energy.
I am happy to report thatDistrict XV was well represented with Clay Chapter sending 4 students, Hoffman Chapter sending 6 students, McKellar Chapter sending 1 student, McReyonlds Chapter sending 4 students (plus 1 recent alumni member), and the Knoxville Alumni Chapter sending 3 alumni members!!!
