Comments:The theme was “STRAIGHT THE PATHWAY TO OUR GOAL”. Ashie 13 won the Niganit and Cahuilla 127 won the Lodge Excellence Award. No Spirit Award was given. The participant award was leather with the theme printed on it. Larry Brown was elected National Vice Chief at the December 1978 National Planning Conference and as a result was required to resign. The Region Chief, Richard Good, and the National Executive Secretary, Bill Downs, were special guests along with Larry Brown. The sprinklers came on in the camping area during the Saturday night program Phil Brigandi and Tom Tabb caught a pie in the face during the same program. A neckerchief was issued.
