Jugal:
We can always do the math to get the desired answer. In case of AANA, you do it like this. The first AANA Convention was held in 1980. So the 25th AANA Convention will be held in 2004. Please note that 25th AANA Convention does not mean it is 25th anniversary of AANA. Now you have point whether the Silver Jubilee is done on 25th anniversary or on the 25th Convention day. You see, unlike the birth days of a man, the organizations celebrate the 1st a year on the 0th year. Interesting!!!
