There were approximately 80 people registered and in attendance. Everyone enjoyed meeting and talking with the other "Chappies"... There were several presentations, and we will be putting short summaries of these presentations online as soon as possible. We voted on where to hold the next Convention, and it was decided it will be held May 17-19, 2002 in Salt Lake City, UT. In 2003 it will be held in Richmond VA. Also, it was voted that the Conventions will be held from here on out on the Third Weekend in May. We will be putting pictures of the Convention, and also narrative to give you a glimpse of our First Annual Convention. Please be patient... we are collecting information from several different sources, and will add when we have it compiled.
