SEFA to host four seminars in GA, FL
during February
The South Eastern Fabricare Association have enlisted the aid of drycleaning
experts Jane Zellers and Martin Young to teach four seminars in
February.
The first two will be held in Savannah,
GA, and will be presented by Young, a second generation
cleaner and graduate of UNCC.
He has served as an industry trainer and
consultant since 1991, and his plant in Concord, NC, was one of
the very first in the country last September to earn an
“Award of Excellence” for quality garment cleaning
and customer service.
To date, he has conducted numerous
seminars in the eastern United States for SEFA, the
International Fabricare Institute and the North Carolina
Association of Launderers and Cleaners.
On Thursday, Feb. 16, he will present a
class on “Counter Sales and Service Training” at
the Marriott Savannah Riverfront located at 100 General
McIntosh Blvd.
The program will run from 7 to 9 p.m.
Registration fees are only $10 per person
for both members and non-members.
Young will be back at the Marriott
Savannah Riverfront for a seminar on “Safe
Spotting” on Saturday, Feb. 18.
The course will last all day long,
beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding at 4 p.m.
Cleaners will be given an overview on
some of today’s problem stains and learn the correct uses
of several stain removal agents.
The cost is $99 for IFI/SEFA members;
however, the price drops to $89 each for additional members
from the same plant. Non-members must pay $129 each in order to
attend.
In the latter part of the month, cleaners
will have two seminar options in Florida taught by Jane
Zellers, CED.
A third generation cleaner, she is a
consultant, lecturer, and a former drycleaning plant owner with
lifelong experience.
Well-versed in a variety of subjects,
Zellers hopes her attendees will greatly benefit from her
teachings.
“After attending one of my
seminars,” she notes, “I want each person to feel
more confidence in handling routine problems as they
arise.”
First, she will host “Drycleaning
Finishing” on Saturday, Feb. 25 at Unipress Equipment
Corporation, located at 3501 Queen Palm Dr. in Tampa, FL.
The program will begin at 9 a.m. and run
until 4 p.m.
Zellers will demonstrate how finishing is
more than just pressing and how even experienced cleaners can
refresh and expand their basic finishing techniques.
Registration fees are $99 for SEFA/IFI
members and $89 for additional members from the same plant.
Non-members must pay $129 each.
Zellers will be back at Unipress on the
following day with a full day program on “Laundry
Finishing” that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Registration fees will once again be $99
for IFI/SEFA members; $89 for additional members from the same
plant; and $129 per non-member.
