National A.R.O.Y. Board Meets in Youngstown

On Saturday, February 2, 2008, members of the National A.R.O.Y. Board gathered at Holy Trinity Church in Youngstown, Ohio, for their winter meeting.  The group was welcomed by Rev. Fr. Cosmin Antonescu, parish priest, together with members of the host chapter and parishioners.

In addition to regular reports and activities, the Board discussed plans for the upcoming Spring Sports Tournament to be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, sometime after Great Lent, preparations for the 2008 A.R.O.Y. yearbook, and the ongoing search for a host site for the 2008 A.R.O.Y. Conference.

Following the conclusion of the meeting, the Board was joined by members of the local chapter for Great Vespers followed by dinner and bowling later that evening.  The next day, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated at Holy Trinity and the remaining Board members said their goodbyes.

Many thanks to Youngstown A.R.O.Y., Fr. Antonescu and the parishioners of Holy Trinity Church for their kind hospitality!
