1968 MCAA CONVENTION REPORT
ATLANTA, GA. This big, bold, modern city has now added another title to its growing list "Hospitality Center of the World." The warm and sincere greetings extended to all the members during the 18th Annual Convention will long be remembered as the highlight of the meeting. But the quality was there too, and so was the attendance. The MCAA Educational Trade Show was the largest ever conducted by MCAA, and the registration for the various events topped them all.
Donald Bidwell, Plymouth, Michigan, was elected President of the Association at the Annual Meeting held on Tuesday in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Motor Hotel. Officers elected are:
President Donald Bidwell, Plymouth, Michigan
Vice President-Allen Young, Memphis, Tennessee

The festivities got underway on Saturday afternoon with the President's Reception and the "Gay Atlanta Party". President Perri and Mrs. Perri assisted by the other officers and their wives officially opened the MCAA Show at 5 P.M. when he cut the ribbon at the entrance to the exhibition hall. This year's Show was by far the most interesting and productive for the members.
