The Annual Joliet Convention (details) was held Oct 6-8, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Joliet, IL. This year's special guest was Greg Sardinha. In addition, we welcomed our first performer from the Republic of China. Mr. Yi Shi Hong traveled from Shanghai and performed admirably on stage. Thanks to the many people who made this event possible, including Don Weber and Wally Pfeifer. Below are thumbnails from Kamaka Tom's photos.

The Biennial Honolulu 2011 Convention was held April 27-29 in the Peacock Room of the Queen Kapi'olani Hotel in Honolulu. If you've never been to Hawaii, consider our next convention in 2013 for your first trip. It's the experience of a lifetime, with plenty of time to catch Hawaiian steel guitar playing around Waikiki and see the sights around O'ahu. Read details about the 2011 convention here.
