Every two years, Gleaner members gather to elect board members, vote on changes to Gleaner's Constitution and By-Laws and celebrate another successful year of community service. Each arbor sends up to three delegates to the biennial convention. All Gleaner members are welcome to attend and join us for family-friendly entertainment and a discounted stay at our host site.

Pricing includes two nights of lodging at Kalahari®, two nights of entertainment, admission to the business meeting of the Society, as well as admission to the Kalahari® water park.
