The Seminar began with early registration taking place the afternoon of Monday, May 24, 2010, and late registration taking place on Tuesday morning, May 25, 2010.  A big thank you to WSATI Southern Chapter Treasurer Rob Manning for the great job he did processing the pre-registrations prior to the Seminar and for processing the "walk-in" registrants at the Seminar.  Rob handled all the bookkeeping for the Seminar as well in the confines of the Seminar office, out of sight of most of the attendees.  Most of the attendees had the opportunity to see Terry Cramer, Terry Cramer (yes...Terry and his wife, Terry), Martha Jones, Gary Labb, Cherryl Valdez, and Geraldine Ward at the registration table.  If you purchased raffle tickets or WSATIwear, the attendees had the chance to see Dave Ball, Tim Glover, Stephanie Hile, Tim Jackson, Delia Loera, Dave Petrelli, Jeff Reeves, Chris Wiggins, and Brian Yori.  It takes a lot of people to put on a seminar the size of this one.
 

The seminar opened on Tuesday morning with the California Highway Patrol Border Division Honor Guard presenting the colors while the National Anthem was played.

2010 Southern Chapter President John Bartolone (DMV Investigations - Artesia) presided over the opening ceremonies and welcomed the close to 325 attendees.
