Silver Jubilee Convention-Security Information

To all Jubilee Conference attendees:

The Security Plan for the Silver Jubilee Convention is already arranged and prepared. Since our Jubilee Convention is the largest gathering of the Syrian Orthodox Parishes in North America. It is very important that everyone is aware of the security protocol arranged for the program. Our goal is to provide a safe and peaceful convention from July 22 to July 25, 2010 in The Garden State Convention Center, New Jersey. Our security committee is in cooperation with the Franklin Township Police Department, which is the local police department. It is our responsibility to let you know there is a zero tolerance for any misbehavior.

We want to highlight some of the security measurements that we arranged for this program:

1. Attendees must wear their ID and wristband at all times.

2. No one is allowed to get in the Convention Center without ID. Security guards will check every time when you enter the Convention Center.

3. If you lose your ID/wristband, you must get a new one from the registration desk and pay additional $10.

4. While entering the Conference hall, we would like to encourage you to form a single line.

5. It is important that all participants be seated while any program is running in the Convention Center except worship time.

6. We will encourage all participants to form a single line for each table or desk. (registration and food courts)

7. Everyone must follow volunteer’s directions.

8. Only authorized personnel and program participants may enter the stage.

9. Children are not permitted to run around in Convention Center. Adults must accompany children under 12 from 6pm to 6am.

10. All participants are responsible for their own personal stuff/valuables so keep it in a safe place.

11. In case of medical emergency contact medical team and security personnel.

12. Franklin Township Police officers/security guards will be present at the Convention center throughout the conference. Please cooperate with them.

13. While any program is in progress inside the Convention Center, there should be no gathering outside the Convention Center that is not related to our event.

14. If any problems/conflicts occur inside or outside the Convention Center, Police will intervene.

15. After the program, attendees must go back to the hotel immediately. You’re not permitted to wander around the Convention Center.

Thank you,

On behalf of the Security Committee
