The 2008 PA Al-Anon Convention will once again be held at

Gettysburg College

123 North Lincoln Avenue

Gettysburg, PA 17325

This is what people had to say about the 2007 convention:

"I found the workshops particularly helpful this year. The chairpersons were organized and had good speakers. I enjoyed Trish the Saturday night Al-Anon speaker. I found this location to be very good – affordable and convenient. I live in another state."

"I enjoyed everything this weekend... the grounds and accommodations are perfect; the speakers were excellent. I loved dancing in my wheelchair."

"The convention was a great place for fellowship with old and new friends. The workshops were well thought out and went with the theme."

"At Gettysburg College, I had a sense of safety, as I was able to walk all over the campus and enjoy the grounds and the architecture of the buildings."

"It was great time to reconnect with people from other groups I had met at previous conventions."

"I enjoyed the fellowship most as my home group is very small. I loved being able to share with so many different people."

"The calmness of the whole weekend was important to me. I got insight from the speakers at the workshops. I liked being able to relax on the Gettysburg campus."

"I liked everything!! There were a variety of activities and people including nice roommates. The campus was beautiful and serene. The speakers were terrific. The workshops were helpful. There was time for reflection, visiting and rest. The food was great and the mattress was good. The committee did a good job. There was an excellent availability of literature and tapes."

"Another great weekend with Al-Anon people and program. Thanks H.P."
