Please make plans to attend and spend some leisure time in one of America’s oldest cities, beautiful historic Charleston South Carolina, recently voted one of the ten best cities for a weekend vacation.  Spring will be the perfect time to visit and enjoy all the area has to offer.  

The Assembly will be held May 18-20, 2012 at the Wingate Inn on the campus of Charleston Southern University - just 17 miles from Historic Downtown. The Assembly committee is hard at work planning a wonderful weekend of Pioneer fellowship. Included in the cost of your registration will be a tour of which there are two to choose from.  Please be sure to register early as one tour has limited space and will fill up quickly!!!  We have lots of fun and new surprises planned in hopes for a record turnout of Pioneers.
