The convention picture below is posted in a photo album, along with smaller full-sized pictures. If you see anyone that you know, you can "tag" the pictures for all to see. The new facebook page can be accessed from the entry in the menu at the left or by clicking Here. You might need to have a free account on Facebook. To learn how to use Facebook, consult anyone younger than 25.

50th NAMA Convention
Participants will enjoy:
On Sunday after the Convention ends, we will have an optional bus tour to the Colorado School of Mines Museum in Golden, a visit to the renowned Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and a driving tour of downtown Denver. A box lunch is included. Remember: Denver is 5,280 feet and Silver Plume is 9,101 feet above sea level. This is much closer to the sun with a lot less atmosphere than where most NAMA members live, therefore, the use of sunscreen or sun block is a very good idea. To help, there will be a hat in each goodie bag. Dehydration is a common cause of altitude sickness. Come prepared to be nagged about drinking enough water. If you are concerned about our high altitude, please consult your doctor. Please bring a pair of walking shoes and a light jacket as it can be cool at our altitude. The convention will be held in a Sheraton Hotel that has a view of the Rocky Mountains from each room. Pike’s Peak and the Southern Front Range are visible from the rooms that face south. The North facing rooms have a view of the Rockies from Mount Evans to Long’s Peak. On- line hotel reservations can be made Here This is the convention Registration Form Come for the convention and enjoy the view! NAMA Youth Award Applications being accepted
About the North American Manx AssociationThe North American Manx Association (NAMA) is a non- profit, ethnic and cultural heritage institution founded in 1928, as a successor organization to Mona's Relief Society of Cleveland, Ohio. NAMA is a group of Americans and Canadians dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the Manx culture. Most of NAMA's 850 active members are second and third-generation North American. In the U.S., there are chapters in Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; Rocky Mountain; Galva, Illinois; the Greater Washington, D.C. area; Minnesota; Nebraska; Northern California; Utah, San Diego, California; and Wisconsin. In Canada, you will find Manx groups in Ontario; and in Vancouver, British Columbia. NAMA is interested in helping Manx in all areas get in touch with local chapters or assisting those who want to start new chapters. NAMA publishes the quarterly NAMA Bulletin, sent to each of its enrolled members. For those interested in their Manx forebears, NAMA has Lucy Q. Peterson as a resident genealogist. She serves as an archivist and information- dispenser. Please contact her to find out how to submit your research findings so we can build a greater Manx family tree. Please do not contact her to do genealogical research for there are just too many of us. But she will point you in the right direction. For more Manx genealogy, there is the Isle of Man Family History Society (IOMFHS). Since they are not a part of NAMA, you should join both organizations. |
