Events on Friday of the Conference

Oratorical Festival

Teens in a senior division (16-19) and junior division (12 - 15) compete by writing and delivering orations. 

The winner from the senior division will go on to represent our Diocese in the Archdiocesan Oratorical Festival at the Antiochian Village in July.  Learn more about the Oratorical Festival at the Antiochian Archdiocese website

Picnic at the Park

TBA

Young Adult Dinner

Sponsored by the Fellowship of St. John the Divine, we will go off-site to a local restaurant to socialize, eat, drink, take in some local atmosphere and enjoy each other's company before heading back to the hotel for the evening's Hafli.  Sign up is required at the registration desk. While the event is free to all registered participants, we will be asking for a suggested donation to be given to the Theophany School in memory of Sonia Belcher.

Hafli

Dance the night away to Arabic music provided by audience favorite Mitch Kaltsunas Ensemble. There will be light mazza, so you can stay light on your feet and dabke 'til you drop.
