We invite you to join us in celebrating the Jubilee Congress, the golden anniversary of the birth of ELNA, in the city where ELNA was born 50 years ago!

Sacramento, the state capitol of California, is located at the junction of the Sacramento and American Rivers in the fertile agricultural Central Valley of California. An important river port and railway center during the 1849 Gold Rush, you can become acquainted with its colorful history in many museums such as the State Indian Museum and the California Railway Museum. In the lovely city center, you can wander among Victorian mansions, art galleries and charming shops, all the while shaded by the many trees for which the city is famous.

Located halfway between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, Sacramento is a convenient starting place for visits to the Gold Country and the wine cellars of Napa Valley, in each case only 1-2 hours away by car. The city has an international airport just 15 minutes out of town, and there are railway and bus stations in the city center.

The city is attractive, the weather will be beautiful, and the members of the Local Congress Committee are preparing an unforgettable program to celebrate this Congress, which will launch ELNA on the road to the Golden Future. Decide to be there, fill in the registration form, reserve your lodgings, and let's celebrate together!
