Annual CIO Council Golf Tournament
Sunday, August 6 noon

The Annual CIO Council Golf Tournament will be held Sunday, August 6, 2006, beginning at noon, on the La Costa Resort and Spa South course. The scramble-format tournament is open to registered attendees of NRFtech 2006, and it includes a complimentary boxed lunch, golf cart and clubs.

When you walk the fairways at La Costa Resort and Spa you are walking the same fairways that the legends of the game have walked for over 30 years. La Costa is currently the host of the World Golf Championships - Accenture Match Play Championship.

The two PGA Championship 18-hole golf courses are both beautiful and traditional in design. Both courses challenge golfers shot making ability, both off the tee, and around the greens. Four sets of tees provide a golf course length for all players to enjoy.

At La Costa, your golf experience will be a memorable one!

Feng Shui Beauty With Billy Yamaguchi
Sunday, August 6 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

During this 90 minute seminar, Billy Yamaguchi, renowned hair stylist and colorist will demonstrate how the philosophies of feng shui, -“wind and water,” - can be translated to a style that will result in an elevated sense of personal power and beauty.

More than ten years ago, Billy began his study of Feng Shui and his quest to wed this philosophy with his training in the Western tradition of hair-dressing. The Yamaguchi Method was established combining the Yamaguchi Holistic Approach to Beauty with Feng Shui. Billy teaches this art of Feng Shui through his academy and has published a book on the subject.

Each seminar attendee will receive a copy of Billy’s book: feng shui beauty, and will receive a 25% discount on a service held during the conference, with the Billy Yamaguchi salon at LaCosta Resort. Pre-registration is required and there is a 20 person limit – so register today. To register for the Feng Shui, please click here.
