Hello Everyone,

   I thought I should take a few minutes to bring all of you up to date with our next association function. On March 21^st from 4-9 PM, we will be holding our annual trade show at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Liverpool.

   I hope everyone plans to attend along with your valued employees. Where else can you find everything you need when running a business in today’s marketplace? You will find new equipment that may be needed in your business and talk to the representatives who sell the equipment. Usually you can find more than one company at the show selling a like piece of equipment with the same or different brand name all under the same roof. What an efficient way to shop and compare without taking much time out of your busy work day!

   There will be insurance representatives, credit card representatives, chemical companies, tool companies, tire companies and companies that sell parts new and used. We’ll have Herv and Dave, “The Car Guys”, hosts of our Association’s call-in radio show (Saturday's at 8 AM on WFBL 1390 AM) available to meet you and answer your questions. If you have ever thought about advertising your business on this program this is the place to inquire as to how that can happen; we are always looking for new quality businesses to join the ranks of our advertisers.  No need to feed yourself and your guests because we will take care of that. There is always delicious food available at the show. There will be door prizes and raffles to also entertain. This year’s show is another place to meet and greet other business owners like yourself that during the year you may not have the time to communicate with due to distance or the hectic pace of your day to day activities. Every year I enjoy meeting new people and acquaintances I have made over the years to discuss business or activities we share outside of business.

   Hopefully I will be seeing all of you there. Thanks for your continued Association involvement and support. We wouldn't exist without our valued and respected members.
