Welcome Party Kicks Off 76th NCA of California Convention
Moving to the dancingest (my term) music, convention delegates from all parts of California rattled the walls and shook the floors, once again proving that hairdressers really know how to let their hair down. The theme "Gold Rush" was clearly visible by the dress of the evening. Conventioneers dressed to the nines and some were reminiscent of the photos posted in the early day post office lobbies.

The official opening ceremonies on Sunday were marked by an impressive entrance by board members and past state presidents. Later in delegate session President Jeanne Denice was presented with a proclamation from California Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante. It was hand delivered by Larry Vasquez an aide to the Lt. Governor. One of the most riveting and informative talks of the day was one by Dr. Della Condon. She is the president of the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. She is currently serving as Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Instructional Services at Delta College in Stockton. Noting that all work and no play is no fun, the Sunday evening festivities for the delegates included the appearance of William Morin a San Francisco singer and entertainer. The Monday session included the election of officers and those elected were President Jeanne Denice, Vice President Arnel Bailon, Secretary/Treasurer Clara Miller, Financial Secretary Pat Garner, Directors Timothy Martin, Mary Lou Amaro and Patty Gardner, Immediate Past President Robert Plato. Monday featured the 2005 Sunrise Awards Recognition Brunch, Look Good Feel Better California Division. Steven Rickards handled the welcome and introduced Look Good Feel Better State Trainers, Rotha Anderson, Lupe Flores, Clara Miller and Beverly Nason. The winners of the 2005 Sunrise Awards were Darlene McDowell, National Cosmetology Association Certified Volunteer and Kaye Yuen Look Good Feel Better General Volunteer. Late Monday afternoon was taken over by Timothy Martin and Noel (nln) who demonstrated and presented their body of works, "Photo Models/Editorial." Monday evening was the time of pomp and ceremony. Newly elected state offices as well as local affiliate officers were installed. Pat Garner and Ken Kassidy were inducted into the NCA of California Hall of Fame and Eiko Studier was selected Affiliate President of the Year. She heads the Golden Gate Cosmetology Association affiliate.

So draws the convention to a close with a couple of foot notes....Eric Wilson Associates was selected to guide the association for the coming year.
