- Annual Convention
Dayton, OH
JUNE
29 - JULY 4
Once
a year the ANS, Ltd. has a National Convention the first week of July (or close
to it). In order to give all of our members the opportunity to attend, we rotate
the convention sites, i.e. East, Midwest and West. Dayton, OH was the site of
this year's convention
Why
do we have a convention? For fun, camaraderie and to share the joy our Navions
bring us. The following pictures give you a glimpse of the fun we had in Dayton,
OH, June 29-July 4. Plan to join us next year June 28-July 4 in Cedar City,
UT.
