The class voted to move the date of this convention to the second Sunday in December and the Saturday before. Michael Spencer gave the Treasurer's report, and the class agreed that the Georgia Christian Harmony Convention will continue to sponsor a scholarship to Camp DoReMi in 2023 for a Georgia singer.
