Our 2010 District Conference will be held the weekend of October 16th in Knoxville and will be hosted by McReynolds Chapter at The University of Tennessee College of Law. All officers from each chapter in District XV are required to attend and all chapter members are welcome. A day long meeting will be held on Saturday October 16th and a social event will be held on Friday October 15th and dinner will be planned for Saturday night as well. I have a number of fresh ideas to pass along to all chapters at our upcoming District Conference and am happy to report that Kim Gallant (former DJ for District XVII) will be our representative from the International Executive Board! A tentative agenda will be posted soon. Please email District Justice Nicole Grida at nicole.grida@gmail.com with any questions. Also, please RSVP for this "Event" on Facebook at |

District Conference - October 15-17, 2010 in Knoxville
58th Biennial Convention
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!!! Including DJ Grida, this amounted to 19 total PAD members present on behalf of District XV. Additionally, several other alumni members who were initiated into Phi Alpha Delta at one of the Chapters in our District were at Convention as well including Honorable Richard McCully (McKellar Chapter), Rick Pearson (Chase Chapter), Brigham "Brig" McCown (Hoffman Chapter), and Larry Crigler (Hoffman Chapter). Please join our Facebook Group to see pictures from Convention at http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/?sk=2361831622
