Grand Convocation
After much thought and consideration, we have decided that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Grand Convocation scheduled for July 14-19, 2020 has been canceled.
This was not an easy decision, but the well-being of our members and their families are of paramount important to us. Please take care of yourselves, and let’s make sure that all of our brothers are also taken care of as well. During these times, we need to watch out for each other. We will come out of this, and when that time comes we will need to dig in and help out in our communities.
We would like to express our thanks to the Grand Convocation Planning Committee for their hard work during these past months.
The current planning committee will continue its work, and the
2021 Convocation will be held in
Glendale, California, July 13 – 18, 2021.
Sincerely,
The Avak Tivan and Convocation Planning Committee
