the 411 on everything. Check out the official Convention
website on PVP's website here.

you remember what activities you signed up for at
registration? If you signed up for Latin Oratory or

A
Message
From the Convention President
"[This] year’s convention will be held at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School on March 22-23, 2002. Located in southern Los Angeles, Palos Verdes Peninsula is a beautiful hill right next to the Pacific. From our school, you can get a panoramic view of the ocean and L.A. city. Like previous conventions, the main activities of next year’s convention will include academic testing, sport events, ludi games, and Certamen, among many others. While most activities are still under planning, I guarantee you that we at PVPHS will try our best to make the next year’s convention a very entertaining and memorable event for all participants. On behalf of our Latin Club, I would like to extend our warmest invitation to you."
- Kevin Lau, Convention President
