months, it was orih during the last
eouple ot weeks that the i s were
dotted and the t s crossed.
He said tli at the partnership
came about niainlv because the
association is trying to move away
from its major beer sponsor. Doo
ley said that Leon Kerry, the
CIAA's commissioner, is a former
bank officer with Sovran Bank,
which merged with North Carolina
National Bank (NCNB) to form
NationsBank. Kerry approached
NationsBank officials about a possi
ble partnership.
The CI A A is always trying to
secure sponsorships. Dooley said.
Money is so hard to come by these
days."
Fred Nordenholz. president of
the Winston-Salem Chamber of
Commerce, said it. was not clear
what impact NationsBank's contri
bution would have on the commit
ment the city has made to the
CI A A.
"Obviously, its going to give
the tournament a tremendous boost.
It will have a wonderful impact. I
just haven't figured out how that
relates to the city's commitment."
