Greeting to All,
We hope this communication finds you and your family well.
With the current situation caused by COVID-19, the AANO has decided to cancel our 74th Annual Convention, which was scheduled to take place in Philadelphia, July 31st through August 2nd, 2020.
This was not an easy decision for us, as this is the only time in the 74 year history of the AANO, that an Annual Convention has been cancelled. However, being faced with many uncertainties on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the next few months, we believe that this is the right decision.
The good news is that we will keep our promise to the Albanian-American community of Philadelphia and hold our next Annual Convention, scheduled for August 6th, 7th, and 8th, 2021, in Philadelphia. The 2021 Convention will be held at Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue Hotel, the same hotel that we were going to have this year’s Convention.
We will keep you informed on all the details as we get closer to the 2021 event, however, we do encourage you to save the dates.
Although we are cancelling this year’s Convention, this year, as every year in the past, we will continue to provide financial assistance to a number of Albanian-American students through our Scholarship Awards Program.
As you may be aware, the AANO’s scholarship and operational budget is raised from three sources, (1) generous contributions from the Albanian-American community, (2) our Annual Convention and (3) interest earned from invested funds. With the cancellation of the Annual Convention and the recent Stock Market loses, we are faced with some immediate challenges to meet out financial goals for the remainder of this year and for our Scholarship contributions for 2021. The only resource we currently have is contributions from our members and friends.
To make your tax exempt contribution to the AANO’s Scholarship Fund please visit www.aano.org. On the scholarship page you will see the “Donation” link. We know that these are challenging times for all of us, however, any contribution that you can make will be greatly appreciated.
The AANO is run by a dedicated group of volunteers, therefore, every dollar donated will be used to help Albanian-American students in pursuit of their higher education.
We are grateful for all the support we continue to receive from all of you for all these years, wishing you, your families and loved ones good health, prosperity and happiness, and we look forward to seeing you during our 2021 Annual Convention, which will be held on August 6th,7th, and 8th, 2021, in Philadelphia.
Best wishes,
National Officers and Chapter Board of Governors
