Plan Your Summer High Point in 2012: Come to International in Portland! Beautiful Music! Gorgeous Scenery! Register now for the Portland 2012 International Convention next July 1-8! There are so many reasons to be excited about this convention! For starters, how about the drama between Ringmasters and Musical Island Boys as they vie for the top spot in the quartet competition? As if that won't be enough, who knows what contender might challenge both of them? Whoever wins, it will be a peak experience. As for peak experiences, on the scenery side, how about the drama of Mt. Hood - over 11,000 feet above sea level and clearly visible from downtown Portland?
And after placing just a breath away from the gold last year, Great Northern Union will be a force for the Ambassadors of Harmony to reckon with in Portland. There'll be some beautiful music there for sure. And, speaking of beautiful, you'll thoroughly enjoy a visit to the International Rose Test Garden, the Columbia River Gorge, and Multnomah Falls, to name just a few, all within easy reach! See what we're talking about HERE. And, breathtaking coastal views of the Pacific are only about 100 miles away!
General housing opens January 15. Register at PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL |
