Attention Californians Attending The ACB Convention
California will no doubt be the largest delegation at the upcoming ACB convention. I have already heard from 50 or 60 people who are planning on attending the convention. We need a chair count if you plan to attend any of the general sessions, but let me know you're attending even if you won't be at those sessions.
Please email or phone me at the contact information provided elsewhere in this message.
When you receive your ACB convention badge, make sure it has a dot on it if you intend to vote. Inform me immediately if you don't have a dot but know yourself to be a CCB member.
