California
Dreamin’... was an entirely new and upbeat program for
IAC’s
Spring Conference. The Southern
Region Program Committee,
Chaired by Daniel Villa,
Inglewood Park Cemetery, put
together an exceptionally
educational, informative, and
fun agenda!
The
elegant Four
Seasons Hotel
in scenic Newport
Beach
was the perfect location for our
California Dreamin’. It's as close to
upscale shopping and restaurants as
you can get – right across the
street is the extraordinary Fashion
Island. Newport Beach offers miles of
beaches that are considered among
the most scenic on the West Coast. |
On Wednesday, IAC Golfers enjoyed Pelican Hill Golf
Club, one
of Southern California’s premiere
golfing destinations, nestled majestically above the
Pacific Ocean.

Thursday’s
education offered lots of
information and participation,
including a panel discussing "Why
Mausoleums? An Affordable and
Profitable Alternative!" with
several vendor members.
Charlene Baillie, Esq., an attorney specializing in workers’
compensation law gave us great
information in a presentation
entitled "Employer’s
Survival Techniques for Today’s
Workers’ Comp."
Glenn Toothman described to
us how and why he started Memory
Medallion, Inc., and Dr. David Sloane, USC
Professor of Policy, Planning and
Development and author of The
Last Great Necessity; Cemeteries in
American History, shared with
us information he gathered while
researching and writing the book.
Thursday
evening we were treated by a poolside
reception followed by a delicious
dinner and special California
Dreamin’ entertainment by
the "Beach Toys!".

| Friday
morning, we enjoyed a tasty breakfast while
listening to Legislative Advocate Jim Neff
report on the excitement of
Sacramento!
