The Year 2025 - 21 Years of Radiant Sisterhood: Power, Purpose and Passion
A great time was had by all as the Nashville Chapter celebrated their 21 year anniversary. With members adorned in festive hues of yellow and white, the "Sunday Soiree" was beautiful and lively. The founder and charter members were celebrated and every member received an anniversary gift. The meal was decadent and the fellowship was energetic and uplifting. The decorations were awesome and the event was highlighted with a performance by world reknown Comedian Renard Hirsch.
