Sadler to help PA cleaners  expand their capabilities
 The Pennsylvania and Delaware Cleaners Association has enlisted Fran Sadler to help drycleaners in Pennsylvania turn more profits in their plants.
 A second-generation drycleaner, Sadler is a CED, CPD and an award-winning Dale Carnegie graduate. She grew up in her family’s Maryland multi-store business and owned and operated a drycleaning operation in Massachusetts. After selling her plant, she became an instructor for IFI.
As an independent consultant, she now conducts seminars, does in-plant training and has trained plant employees and guided owners and managers all over America.
She will conduct two sessions for PDCA entitled “Make Money on Work You Turn Away Now.”  Her program will show cleaners how to accept work they thought was too difficult or tricky and handle it properly, leading to more plant profits.
 The cost of each seminar is $35 per member and $65 for non-members.
 The first session is planned for Wednesday, Sept. 14 at the Holiday Inn Select University Center in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. It will start at 7:30 p.m.
 The other will be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15 at Leeds Restaurant, 750 Eisenhower Blvd. in Harrisburg.

Seminars aim to help solve poor behavior
A series of seminars on “Successful Solutions for Unacceptable Employee Behavior,” will be offered throughout Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC., according to the MidAtlantic Association of Cleaners.
The seminars are designed to teach effective management techniques that will result in positive performance from employees. In addition to examining the hallmarks and causes of bad attitudes, the seminars will focus on how to manage conflicts and counsel for improved performance, as well as the proper ways to discipline in order to correct performance problems. Attendees will also learn how to safely terminate employees when all other methods fail and how to make sure such a termination won’t damage the attitude and morale of the remaining employees.
Upcoming dates and venues for the seminar in Maryland include: Aug. 17 at the Holiday Inn Ft. Detrick in Frederick, 999 W. Patrick St.; Aug. 18 at the Holiday Inn in Columbia, 7900 Washington Blvd.; Aug. 19 at the Radisson Hotel Annapolis, 210 Holiday Court; and Aug. 26 at the Sheraton Hotel North in Towson, 903 Delaney Valley Rd.
Three more are planned in Virginia: Wingate Inn at 20 Sanford Dr. in Fredericksburg on Aug. 16; Clarion Hotel James Madison at 345 Granby Street in Norfolk on Aug. 22; and Holiday Inn Crossroads at 2000 Staples Mill Rd. in Richmond on Aug. 23.
There is also one set at the Holiday Inn Georgetown at 2101 Wisconsin Ave. NW in Washington, DC, on Aug. 25.
Each seminar will begin at 9 a.m. and run until 4 p.m. The cost is $199 per person, or $189 per person in groups of five or more.
