Marc S.Just for clarification as many were still quoting Anaheim for 2004
The annual meeting of the National Convention Committee resulted in the 2004 event being moved from Anaheim to Cleveland.
NSCC President Etta Hersh opened the meeting by noting that the Executive Board had been getting a number of calls expressing concern with Anaheim, and so a decision had been made to let voters have the option of moving the show back to Cleveland, which hosted the 1997 and 2001 events.
After some occasionally heated debate, the voters opted for Cleveland in 2004 and then approved a slate that will send the National to Chicago in 2005, Atlantic City in 2006 (also the host site of next year’s National), back to Cleveland in 2007 and Chicago again in 2008. A full report on the National will appear in the Sept. 6 issue of SCD.
