Survivors Association (PHSA) at their national convention held in Clearwater, Florida on December 6, 1965. At that time, the idea was voted down primarily because there was disagreement among PHSA members present regarding whether the proposed organization should be a sons-only organization or one in which all offspring would be eligible for membership. A second proposal was introduced during the PHSA national convention held in New York City, New York on December 6, 1970. The second proposal was approved extending membership to all offspring.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"fusion-timeline-date\" style=\"background-color:var(--awb-color2);\">November 1972<\/h3><div class=\"fusion-collapse-month\"><article id=\"blog-1-post-327\" style=\"border-color:var(--awb-color2);\" class=\"fusion-post-timeline fusion-clearfix fusion-right-column post-327 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-history\">\n<div class=\"fusion-post-wrapper\" style=\"background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);\">\n\n<div class=\"fusion-post-content-wrapper\" style=\"padding:30px 25px 25px 25px;\"><div class=\"fusion-post-content post-content\"><div class=\"fusion-timeline-circle\" style=\"background-color:var(--awb-color2);\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-timeline-arrow\" style=\"color:var(--awb-color2);\"><\/div><h2 class=\"blog-shortcode-post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sdphs.org\/history\/the-first-local-chapter\/\">THE FIRST LOCAL CHAPTER<\/a><\/h2><p class=\"fusion-single-line-meta\"><span class=\"vcard\" style=\"display: none;\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sdphs.org\/author\/deidre-kelley\/\" title=\"Posts by Sons and Daughters of PHS\" rel=\"author\">Sons and Daughters of PHS<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated\" style=\"display:none;\">2022-07-14T09:16:51-04:00<\/span><span>November 6, 1972<\/span><span class=\"fusion-inline-sep\">|<\/span><\/p><div class=\"fusion-content-sep sep-double sep-solid\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-post-content-container\"><p>Subsequently, PHSA member Harold \u201cSarge\u201d Cook \u2013 PHSA Florida State Chairman \u2013 organized the first local chapter of 44 sons and daughters in Florida.
