AvCon 2009 is over and done with. An excellent time was had by all who were there. We are happy to report that $5010 in mixed currency was raised for The Good Shepherd Centres.
Keep your eyes on this space for a more thorough report of the weekend’s events.
In the meantime, check out the photo gallery at the Anne of GG website! (Video will be added eventually as well.)
There will never be another Avonlea Convention/Reunion????? :-( Please say it isn’t so!!! I haven’t had the chance to get to one yet.
Bobbie,
Let me quote from a member of the committee.
“Some of you may’ve been wondering why this is our “last hurrah”. Well, organizing AvCon has never been an easy task. Planning begins close to a year in advance, and really kicks into high gear about six months before it takes place. Plus, it costs quite a bit of money to put things together, particularly to rent out the auditorium at Black Creek for two days; and all of this comes out of pocket. After organizing four conventions (2004, 2005, 2007, and this one), we on the committee no longer have the resources to continue. As well, some of us are ready to move on from this venture and direct our energies toward other things.”
So the current AvCon committee is not planning to organize another one… sorry.
