People attending a 14th annual Georgia Day program hosted by the Archibald Bulloch Chapter of The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Thursday, were given extra cause for celebration. The local group, which always sets aside a date to commemorate General James Oglethorpe’s Feb. 12, 1733 landing on what would become the nation’s 13th colony, were able to honor an anniversary of a different sort. All of the approximately 40 guests attending the luncheon at Statesboro’s Holiday Inn gave a standing ovation to Sarah Hines, who celebrated 50 consecutive years as a member of the history-based organization.
