With AGBU's Centennial celebration in Egypt ready to go in April, the next Centennial event is also well underway. The World Games committee is looking forward to welcoming hundreds of guests from every corner of the world to Beirut this July. The Games website has already created a stir and promises a great time for athletes, scouts and Young Professionals (YPs) who will jet over to the Mediterranean hot spot.
While the global gatherings are the biggest tickets for the year, YPs are making their usual splash with an action-packed March.
Boston YPs are gearing up for an Open House at the AGBU Watertown Center that will get the word out about their newly established group, and their Swiss counterparts are hosting a conference later this month. New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco YP groups are taking time off to go skiing, while Sofia is kicking off its Centennial theme night series and honing in on Italy as their first inspiration.
