WELCOME TO MINNEAPOLIS
THE DELEGATION GATHERS

Minneapolis, Minnesota - On Tuesday, August 16, 2011 the first of the travelers to Minneapolis,Minnesota (photos 1-3) arrived for the 46th PNA Quadrennial National Convention. The National Officers, Home Office Staff and a handful of delegates were greeted by the friendly staff of the Hyatt. That evening the pallets of boxes and crates were unpacked, the displays were set up and the staff was ready to greet the delegates the next morning.

Wednesday morning arrived with a meeting by the Mandate Committee (photo 4)  with the Committee members, Ania Karwan, Joanne Ygeal, Kristofer Andrzejewski, Chairman, Leona Schulz and Cecelia Tomaszkiewicz met prior to the opening of the registration. The Home Office staff once again assisted in the registering of the delegation. From the morning until 9:00 p.m. our guests were welcomed by the officers and candidates seeking a position in the PNA.

A Fraternal Hospitality Night Reception in the Nicolett Room (photos 29-34) was the evenings highlight where old and new friends came together to socialize and catch up with old times. The three hour reception featured a variety of delicious food.

By the end of the evening the Convention was set up for the first general session the Thursday morning.
