Convention 1954: Mackinac Island, Michigan
For the first time in 27 years, the 46th Convention met again at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan, held July 1-7, 1954. Under the leadership of Grace Merrill (Northwestern, 1917) of Chicago, the newly created Philanthropy Board had been very successful and she reported that more than $38,000 had been contributed by the chapters in one year to local organizations focusing on child welfare, the camp program and various scholarships.
Despite the immense amount of business conducted at this Convention, sisters still had time to enjoy a lovely picnic and a carriage tour of the island.
