It should have been one stupendous 150th celebration in Columbus, Ohio, this past August, but we all know what happened. For only the second time in AFS history, our in‐person annual meeting was cancelled (the other time being World War 2). While we were fortunate enough to host a Virtual Annual Meeting, the events celebrating the 150th in Columbus were postponed to the 2021 Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, which we can only hope will take place. But, as Patrick Swayze famously said, “Nobody puts baby in the corner” (check that one out, you millennials!) and AFS has been celebrating our 150th nonetheless.

推迟举行的AFS 150周年庆典-最好的庆典尚未到来

过去八月，本来应该是在俄亥俄州哥伦布举行的第150场惊人的庆祝活动，但我们都知道发生了什么。AFS历史上仅第二次取消了本人的年度会议（另一次是第二次世界大战）。虽然我们很幸运能够举办虚拟年会，但庆祝哥伦布150周年的活动已推迟到2021年在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的年会，我们只能希望会举行。但是，正如帕特里克·斯威兹（Patrick Swayze）所说的那样：“没有人把婴儿放在角落里”（请检查，千禧一代！），AFS仍在庆祝我们的第150周年。
