Midwest
IFI seminars are coming to the Midwest
Outreach seminars from the International
Fabricare Institute will be finding their way into the
Midwestern United States in the next few months, including
three on stain removal and two on customer service and problem
garments.
On Saturday, June 22, IFI will present a
stain removal seminar in Chicago, IL. The program will cover
stain removal tools, agents and procedures, with emphasis on
the pH scale, bleaches and mineral oil barriers. Techniques
used to remove water marks and sizing rings will also be
discussed.
Similar seminars are also planned to take
place on Saturday, June 29 in Minneapolis, MN, and on Saturday,
August 24 in Flint, MI.
On August 17, IFI will present a Customer
Service/Problem Garments seminar in Milwaukee, WI.
In addition to looking at ways to handle
and care for problem garments in order to avoid making costly
mistakes, the class will focus on how a customer service
representative should handle their job. Some factors that will
be outlined include: customer expectations; talking to
customers; identifying potential cleaning problems; and
handling difficult situations.
A second seminar is planned in
Indianapolis, IN, on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the EJ Thomas Company,
located at 1445 Brookville Way, Suite Q.

Midwest 2002 show moves back one week
The executive committee of the Illinois
State Fabricare Association recently
announced that the show date for the associations’
Midwest 2002 trade show will be moved back a week.
Originally, the show was scheduled for
July 20 and 21; now it will run on July 27 and 28 at the Odeum
Sports and Exposition Center in Villa Park, IL.
The change was made to eliminate a
conflict with events scheduled for the previous weekend.
Reservations can be made at this
year’s host hotel, the Holiday Inn in Elmhurst, located
at 624 North York Rd., less than four minutes from the
convention center.
Room rates of $89 plus tax per night have
been secured for double occupancy rooms. To make reservations,
call (630) 279-7307 and mention Midwest 2002.
