Day 1 ended with a roaring welcome reception, headlined by a local salsa band. Convention co-chair Juan Ayala and I boogied down and promoted national-local relations. 

Our first training sessions were well-attended and the guerilla organizing session earned extra points for going out and organizing convention attendees to call their Senator about the important college affordability vote tomorrow (more about that from Tony).

About half of the delegates have arrived so far.  We're looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow.  General session kicks off at 5:00pm!
