Event Details

We are excited to invite you to our hybrid Spring Convention! We hope you will join us for programs designed to simply connect our members together for more of a social convention online and in-person. We have times for old traditions including our Spirit Competition, Regional Elections, and State of the Region (speech to share the accomplishes of the region this year). This year some new traditions will include a senior hangout on Sunday night and grade specific programming.

The convention will offer times for teens to be in-person and online, inclusive of all comfort levels.

On Saturday, April 24 at 7:15 pm of convention, we welcome all parents and friends to a special Havdallah and Pin Ceremony to honor Josh Erani. More information to follow.
