Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile
To everyone who believed in this bid, expressed your support, and shared our vision — go raibh míle maith agaibh. A thousand thanks.
After careful consideration, the Georgia and South Carolina AOH and LAOH State Boards have made the decision not to move forward with the Savannah 2030 National Convention bid. This was not a decision made lightly — Savannah's Irish heritage, her magnificent venues, and the spirit of our joint team made this one of the most compelling bids we could have imagined.
Ultimately, the practical realities of convention economics — particularly hotel rates — made it difficult to deliver the value our delegates and their families deserve. The AOH family deserves a convention that is both memorable and accessible, and we remain committed to that standard.
The friendship, unity, and Christian charity that define our Order are alive and well in Georgia and South Carolina. We look forward to continuing to serve our members, grow our divisions, and support the AOH at every level for years to come.
