In September 1979, Simone Sheats, a visionary with a passion for her children, recognized a need in her community. Having been a member of the Nashville, TN Jack and Jill of America, Inc Chapter, Mrs. Sheats understood the impact and importance of the Jack and Jill of America organization. Having a passion to provide children within her community with the unique value of Jack and Jill, Mrs. Sheats decided to bring the values of creating and empowering leaders to the community of children where she resided so they could grow and be nurtured in a premier Mother’s and Children’s’ organization. Within one month, the group of 20 women applied for membership into Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated and became a provisional Chapter.                                                      

The Williamson County Area Chapter received its charter and was inducted into the National organization the weekend of September 28, 1980. The Williamson County Area Chapter is the 172nd chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. We honor all of these ladies for making a difference in the community and the lives of children overall.
