Allegheny County 2009 State Convention Committee

We'd like to welcome our Brother and Sister Hibernians of the Keystone State to the 2009 Pennsylvania AOH/LAOH State Convention and our website. We hope that this site will provide you with valuable and up to date information regarding our upcoming convention at the Radisson Hotel Pittsburgh in Monroeville, PA in July 2009.

The Men's and Ladies Orders in Allegheny County can boast of a Hibernian population of over a thousand combined members. We believe that will translate into well attended meetings and events, with enough leaders and volunteers to ensure that all of our guests are comfortable and well provided for.

Our committee in Allegheny County is excited about the upcoming convention, and we have the experience of hosting State and National Conventions here in the past to help guide us. We've also paid attention when we, as delegates, attended other State and National conventions, and we intend to use all of those experiences to tailor our meetings and events to maximize the education and enjoyment of all our delegates and guests. We know what Hibernians like, and what they don't like, in everything from convention registration at the hotel, to food, entertainment, hotel rooms, and hospitality suites. We will make every effort to ensure that you'll come away feeling that we've "set the standard" for how future conventions should be run.

On behalf of the local convention committee and our volunteers, we hope you will look forward to your trip to Allegheny County, and we encourage you to make your hotel reservations and send in your registration forms as soon as they are made available to you. Please visit this site often to keep up with the latest information. We will send out an email correspondence to the State Boards for distribution to make sure you know when the form and other more current information are made available on the convention website.

You can contact either of us for more information by going to the "Contact" tab of this website and sending us an email.

We are anticipating a great attendance from our friends across the State as well as those in our local community, and we look forward to providing you with a great time at our convention!

In our motto of "Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity",

Denny Donnelly and Patti Flaus, Chairpersons
Allegheny County 2009 State Convention Committee
