The Convention was held at the Chatham Circuit Courthouse Saturday, May 14. There were 156 delegates in attendance and several alternates, some of whom were moved into delegate status so they could vote [in the place of] delegates who were absent. Meredith Richards was elected permanent chair to the convention and Carol Black was elected secretary. The election of new officers became necessary when many of the outgoing
officers chose not to run for the committee for another term. The outgoing
officers, who were given a round of applause for their long service to the
committee, were: Chair-Carl U. Eggleston; Raymond W. Mitchell-First Vice-Chair;
Sheila Baynes-Second Vice-Chair; Agnes D., Anderson-Treasurer and Carol
W. Black-Secretary. The election of the State Committee members was decided on the first ballot and the Convention was adjourned in mid-afternoon with many delegates going to a well-deserved, late lunch afterward. Richard Koepsell (electronic mail, May 16, 2005)
