The Pitch Pipe - October 2008 - (Page 10) longevity awards Sweet Adelines International congratulates these chapters celebrating milestone anniversaries. Although some 20 chapters existed before 1947, it was decided at the first national convention in October of that year that all chapters would officially recharter as part of the new national organization. Thus, chapter longevity is determined as of October 31 of each year.
