2016 GCBC Welcome Letter
Dear friends:
With great love and affection, the Spiritual Assembly of the
Bahá'ís of Phoenix welcomes you to the 32nd annual Grand
Canyon Bahá'í Conference. We are grateful to those who
have supported this conference through the years, and we
welcome with enthusiasm those who are attending for the
first time, particularly our dear friends of the Bahá'í Faith
who share the same vision.
We look forward to being of service to you over the next
three days. Welcome to the 32nd Grand Canyon Bahá'í
Conference.
Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of Phoenix
Let us begin our three-day journey of learning, consulting,
and reflecting on building flourishing communities with
these words from Bahá’u’lláh in mind:
“It is incumbent upon every man of insight and understanding to
strive to translate that which hath been written into reality and
action…. That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself
to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith:
Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of
the peoples and kindreds of the earth.”
The urgency to act is impelled by the world’s desperate
conditions; each individual, however humble their share, can
support and contribute to building flourishing communities,
a better society, a unified and peaceful world, one that is
advanced both spiritually and materially, one that embraces
all, one that does not differentiate by color, class, wealth,
gender, or age.
May an atmosphere of love and fellowship, learning, and
consulting in the days to follow, fill your hearts with love for
humanity and aspirations of the possibilities before you in
constructing a better world, and sustain you throughout the
year that you may arise and rededicate your life to service
to your fellow man. It is our ardent hope that you find the
program enlightening and uplifting.
The Assembly wishes to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the
Conference Management Committee for its tireless efforts
and dedication; we thank the Youth, the Junior Youth, the
Children, the Registrars, the Security Task Forces, and
the many volunteers who will spend countless hours in the
next three days to be of service to us all. Without them this
event would not be possible. We extend our gratitude to the
presenters and entertainers for traveling across the country to
be with us.
Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your loving support
of this conference; we’re particularly grateful to all the friends
of the Bahá'í Faith among us who are willing to learn and
accompany us in building a better society.

Rules and Regulations
Rules Regarding Children
The health and safety of all conference participants is a
primary concern of the Local Spiritual Assembly of the
Bahá’ís of Phoenix, Arizona, and is the premise for the
establishment of necessary rules and regulations outlined
below. Please note, therefore in the interests of safety,
exceptions to these rules will not be permitted.
The Grand Canyon Bahá’í Conference Planning Committee
very much appreciates your cooperation in honoring the
wishes of our beloved institution, and abiding by the rules.
As part of conference safety, we ask you not to leave your
children under 12 unattended in the rooms or any where
in the hotel. Please make sure that they are not playing on
elevators, escalators or on stairs, as the hotel security or
conference staff will detain unattended children (under 12
yrs) and the ones who are causing a disturbance in order to
contact the parents.
1. We ask all attendees to adhere to the Bahá’í laws,
including moderation of dress, and respectful conduct.
2. In order to facilitate participants getting to classes and
programs on time, wristbands must be worn at all times.
Please remember a wristband replacement costs $5.00 and
Photo ID is required for a new one.
3. Sessions begin on time; so please come early so that you
don’t miss a moment of the program.
4. Our conduct, including towards our volunteers, is a
window to the Bahá’í Faith and is watched by hotel
employees and other guests. Please make our actions
such that all would be attracted to join in building
Bahá'u'lláh's New New World Order.
5. The JW Marriott Hotel has been gracious in our requests
for several years. We want to be welcomed by them
in future years, and they have certain rules which we
ask everyone to honor and obey. Please do not ask for
exceptions as this could cause them not to renew our
contract.
a. No cooking in rooms, please.
b. No pets in rooms except service animals.
c. Please treat all employees with respect and courtesy
d. Please treat all other guest as if they were guests in
your home and please do not disturb them.
Our behavior is a reflection of the Bahá’í community;
please do not do anything that would create a negative
impression. If you disobey these guidelines the hotel may
ask you to leave the conference at once.
6. The City of Phoenix observes a “Youth” curfew, and
violation of these ordinances can cause anyone under 18
to be arrested and placed in custody. Please note that
if this occurs, parents must come to the Phoenix Police
Department and deal with the problem.
GCBC-004-2016-002-Program-V6.indd 6-7
Please note that children enrolled in the Children’s program
must attend classes or remain in the parent’s care. No child
under 12 may be left alone at any time. Children must have
wristbands and name tags. Please remember a wristband
replacement costs $5.00.
In order to have a safe environment for children, authorized
person(s) must sign the children in and out every day. The
name of the Person(s) authorized to drop off or pick up
children will be on Registration cards. Once a child is signed
in, he/she will not be able to leave by themselves.
Children’s classes will begin and end on time regardless of
the start times and end times of the Main Sessions. Children
must be picked up within 15 minutes of the posted end time
of sessions/workshops, regardless of the time those sessions
end.
A charge of $2.00 per minute will be charged for each child
left after 15 minutes of the end of the class.
Please note the drop off and pick up times are published in
the adult program.
CHILDREN WHO MISBEHAVE WILL RECEIVE
THREE VERBAL WARNINGS.
IF THE BEHAVIOR CONTINUES, CONFERENCE
SECURITY WILL BE NOTIFIED TO CONTACT THE
CHILD’S PARENTS AND FURTHER APPROPRIATE
ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.
Any child signed in after the first 30 minutes will be placed
in the daycare area. Children may not be signed in and out
multiple times during a class period. Once a child is signed
out, they may not sign in until the following session.
Only toilet trained children will be allowed to participate in
the 3 and 4 year old class.
If your child is ill or appears ill, he/she will not be allowed to
attend children’s classes.
