Dear Ramallahites,


Greetings from your family in Cleveland! We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 41st Annual American Federation of Ramallah; Palestine Convention hosted by the Ramallah Club of Cleveland.


Our committees are finalizing the preparation for what we feel will be an event you won't soon forget. We have with the Federation support worked on a new convention registration program that will speed up the registration considerably. We have everything for all ages to enjoy; Sea World of Ohio, Geauge Lake Amusement Park, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Great lake Science Museum. Also, for those who like to shop and sight see our hotel is centrally located to more that 300 shops, restaurants and nightclubs. The Golf outing, Arab CoffeeHouse, Debka Contest and Casino Night will ensure a wonderful vacation


No, we are not yet done. We have also secured a Friday night event that will be one to remember Ragheb Allama will perform at the Cleveland Music Hall, which is located next to the hotel. With the Grand Banquet being held at the Cleveland Convention Center to ensure your comfort. We have gone to extreme lengths to make sure your stay with your family in Cleveland will be one you won't soon forget.
