As our centennial year (1998) was not a convention year for us, we kicked off our centennial year with our national convention in 1997. For the centennial itself, we had a Centennial Celebration in Boston, which included banquets/luncheons/receptions, programs, presentations, ritual, a special presentation to the New England Conservatory (where we were founded) and a trip to Thompson, Connecticut, for a memorial service at the grave of our Founder, Ossian Everrett Mills. One special surprise was the attendance at the banquet and the memorial service of Mills' grandson and his wife and four daughters.
We also published a Centennial History and a Centennial Songbook, which included new songs written for the Centennial. Centennial fanfares were also written. Numerous other commerative items were available both at the Centennial Celebration and to those who could not attend it.
And of course, chapters and provinces planned their own celebrations.
