Feed The Spirit occurs at the end of Spirit Week and is a time to serve dinner to the current SOH members and show them how much we appreciate all they do. This year, we will have our SOHAA Annual Meeting on the same day. The Annual Meeting is a time to reconnect with each other and get pumped for tailgating.
