PETERSBURG MAYOR TO ADDRESS CONCLAVE

Florence Saunders Farley, a Roanoke native and current mayor of Petersburg, will be the banquet speaker at the 33rd national conclave of Omnia Bona Inc., scheduled Friday through Sunday at the Sheraton Airport Inn.

Omnia Bona, meaning "for all good," originated in Roanoke in 1948 as a group of senior girls at Lucy Addison High School who wanted to provide wholesome activities for members and their friends. The group disbanded after graduation, since most of the members were headed for college, but reorganized in 1952.

The organization has grown to nine chapters. Five members of the original group are active members of the Roanoke chapter.
