John Lulgjuraj 1951 - 2021
It is with a very sad, heavy heart that the AANO, INC. has lost John Lulgjuraj, one of our truly great Presidents.
John passed away on, August 11, 2021 in Florida. As Vice President, I speak on behalf of all the AANO, INC. that in our hearts we will remember a man who gave us strength in purpose, direction and pride in our heritage, joy in serving together, great memories and lasting smiles on our AANO journey. The entire AANO National Officers Board of Governors, and AANO Committee Chair people shall remember John Lulgjuraj in all of our tomorrows with love. Our prayers go out to his wife, Shpresa, his children and the entire Lulgjuraj family.
Respectfully,
National Officers and Chapter Board of Governor

The 74th Annual AANO Convention - Scheduled for 2022
We hope all of you and your family are doing well.
Due to the many local and state restriction and uncertainties, caused by COVID19, for the immediate future, the AANO has decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Convention, which was scheduled to take place in Philadelphia, on August 6th, 7th, and 8th, 2021.
This was a difficult decision to make, as this is the second consecutive year that, due to COVID19, we have cancelled the Annual Convention. However, being faced with many potential local, state and hotel restrictions, coupled with skepticism expressed by the vast majority of the AANO members whom we have communicated with, we feel that canceling the 2021 Annual Convention was the proper action to take.
As the vaccinations of the US population is growing at a rapid pace, and the situation begins to improve, we have high hopes that we will continue this long held tradition, and we have started planning for the 2022 Annual Convention. By the end of June 2021, we will decide on the city and the dates of the 2022 Convention and will post the information here, as well as on the June issue of our Trumbeta Publication. We will continue to provide you with updated information as they become available.
Although we are cancelling this year’s Convention, we will continue to provide financial assistance to a number of Albanian-American college/university students, through our Scholarship Awards Program.
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. Having to cancel our Annual Convention for the second consecutive year has resulted into some immediate challenges to meet our financial goals for the remainder of this year and for our Scholarship contributions for 2022. Any tax-exempt contribution will be immensely helpful to secure the scholarship budget.
To make your tax exempt contribution to the AANO’s Scholarship Fund, please visit the scholarship page where 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.
The AANO was established 75 years ago. This tremendous milestone could not have been achieved without your support. We are grateful for all your support, wishing you good health, prosperity, and happiness.
We look forward to seeing you during our 2022 Annual Convention.
Best wishes,
National Officers and Chapter Board of Governor
