Midatlantic
Speakers set for PDCA’s Expo 2002
show set in Atlantic City
The Pennsylvania
and Delaware Cleaners Association has announced the speakers for its Drycleaning
and Laundry Expo 2002, set for Sept. 21-22 at the Atlantic City
Convention Center in Atlantic City, NJ.
Booth sales are currently underway for the
free exhibit, which will be the largest in the country this
year.
The event will kick off on Saturday, Sept.
21 with William Fisher, Chief Executive Officer of the
International Fabricare Institute, who will discuss how he sees
the industry today.
Nationally-known speaker Jan Hargrave will
follow, talking about ways to determine if an employee, a
customer or a salesperson is telling the truth. She will
present a lively demonstration of the body language that
conveys what a person is really thinking.
Sunday’s program will feature Mike
Achin, regional sales manager of Laidlaw Corporation, who will
give practical information on what he terms the “ten
commandments and seven deadly sins of stain removal.” He
will be followed by consultant Darcy Moen who will tie things
together by telling the audience creative and innovative ways
to make their businesses grow.
After his presentation, Abe Cho of Satec
USA will follow the theme with a Korean-language program on
increasing success in the cleaning industry.
Advance registrations are now being
accepted. Full registration for both day’s programs and a
Saturday cocktail reception is $45. The exhibit is free.
For more information, call (800) 822-7352.

Garment claim law in MD stalls
Contrary to earlier indications,
Maryland’s H.B. 118 will not become a law after all,
according to the MidAtlantic Association of Cleaners.
The bill would have added language to
Maryland’s Artisans Lien statute pertaining to the
disposal of pre-paid garments.
However, MAC reported in its current
newsletter that no changes to the law will take effect this
year. Previously, it had appeared that the bill would be passed
on time when the Senate agreed to pass it with some amendments
added by the association just prior to the end of the last
legislative session.
All that changed when H.B. 118 returned to
the House of Delegates with the Senate-approved amendments, the
Speaker failed to bring the bill back to the floor for a vote
that would approve the concurrent changes. Thus, the bill never
completed the legislative process.
