Please note there has been a correction to the church address: 3330 E. Miraloma Ave.
April 23, 2021
The VFW has been informed by representatives of the Baltimore Convention Center that, due to circumstances beyond its control, the Baltimore Convention Center will not be able to accommodate the contractual needs for the 2021 National Convention.
As such, it is not possible to hold the 2021 National Convention in Baltimore.
Alternate locations are now being considered, and the VFW National Council will decide the final location at a future date.
Further, Housing will cancel the reservations made through them. If anyone made a reservation outside of our block, they will need to cancel themselves
At this time I don’t know about the VFW’s plans going forward, but reassured that I will be letting you know just as soon as I hear from the VFW.
