In February 2001, four Sorors who were general members, Barbara Thomas, Revertha Grace, Veronica Phillips, and Mildred Hightower began formulating, organizing, and discussing the need to have a chapter who would serve the needs of the residents in the North Broward County area. The group name was PEARLS of Distinction, which grew to 42 members and they continued to meet monthly at various places such as homes, clubhouses, schools, and multipurpose rooms formulating plans to provide community service to all mankind.
