They were welcomed by Dawn Pettit, left, Delta Chapter president and Alabama State 2nd Vice President. Karrick was the Founders’ Day speaker and talked about one of the Alabama founders, Olivia Dannelly, who was from Camden and also taught 7th grade English in Atmore before she helped found Beta State in 1931. Karrick showed the ladies pictures of Dannelly’s tombstone which is in the Camden cemetery as she closed her presentation.
