PDCA plans more member seminars on
“Be A Pro”
Following the success of its February 5
maintenance seminar in Harrisburg, PA, the Pennsylvania and
Delaware Cleaners Association will
be presenting more offerings of its “Be A Pro”
educational series in the near future.
Tom Greene of Remco was the first to
address a full house at the Harrisburg Hilton on the importance
of keeping drycleaning machinery running at optimum levels.
Also presenting at the daylong seminar was Carl Gardner of the
Laidlaw Corporation, Paul Ziegler of EnCop, environmental
attorney Rick Friedman, Dave Clouser from Advantage
Engineering, and Tom Mellott, acting director of the
Pennsylvania brownfields program.
PDCA announced earlier this year that it
will offer its members help throughout the year through its
“Be A Pro” series, designed specifically to help
them improve their drycleaning and business skills in order to
be better than the competition.
Making due on that promise, PDCA will now
be offering several more seminars throughout the year,
including some hosted by local associations.
On March 17, CPDA will enlist Paul J.
Dellaseg, Esq., and Crystal H. Williamson, Esq., to discuss
“Defending Against Sexual Harassment Claims” in
Harrisburg.
“Wetcleaning, Not Washing” is
slated to run from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 19 at Joseph
Krow Leather and Suede, located at 11055 Parker Dr. in N.
Huntingdon, PA. Ed Share of the Laidlaw Corporation will be the
guest instructor.
Bio-remediation is the topic of a seminar
by Seth Haubenstock, PHA, planned for Monday, April 4 at the
Crossroads Restaurant. It will be hosted by the Lehigh Valley
Drycleaners Guild.
Turning to the latter half 2005,
IFI’s Fran Sadler will discuss how to “Make Money
on Work You Turn Away Now” on Sept. 14 in
Pittsburgh, PA. She will repeat the program on the following
day in Harrisburg, as well.
More seminars for Philadelphia,
Wilmington and other areas are in the works, as well. Topics
will include stain removal, pressing and wetcleaning.
