SEFA to host July show in heart of Savannah
Cleaners wanting to attend the South Eastern Fabricare Association’s Southern Dry Cleaners Show will have two excellent hotels to choose from in the
city of Savannah, GA.
The first choice is the Westin Savannah Harbor at 1 Resort Dr.
The resort is adjacent to the Savannah International Trade and Convention
Center, which will be home for the Southern Dry Cleaners Show July 25-27.
It provides complete business services and recreational facilities, including an
18-hole championship golf course designed by Bob Cupp and Sam Snead.
The second choice is at the nearby Four Points by Sheraton, located at 520 W.
Bryan St.
The newly-built hotel offers free High-Speed Internet access in all 127 of its
rooms.
Both options are literally minutes away from the heart of Savannah’s landmark historic district.
Those seeking to secure reservations at either option can access direct links
from SEFA’s web site at www.sefa.org.
Reservations can also be made by calling (912) 201-2000 for the Westin, and
(912) 790-1000 for the Four Points.
Also on SEFA’s site are links that provide visitors with a list of all the company’s scheduled to exhibit at the show, a floor plan, a detailed show schedule and
registration forms in downloadable PDF format.
Registration fees are only $10 for plant owners who sign up prior to July 15.
After that date, the cost goes up to $15 per plant owner.
The cost for plant employees is $5 and the cost for non-exhibiting allied trades
is $50 per person, regardless if it is pre-registration or on-site.
SEFA has planned a variety of networking events throughout the weekend,
including a cash bar and appetizer socializer poolside at the Westin from 5:30
to 7 p.m. on Friday and an open bar reception in the convention lobby at 5 p.m.
on the following night.
More information can also be obtained by contacting SEFA at (877) 707-7332.
NCALC plans for Carolina Clean ’08
The North Carolina Association of Launderers and Cleaners has announced details
of its upcoming Carolina Clean ’08 convention., which will be held May 23 to 25 at the Atlantic Beach Sheraton
in Atlantic Beach, NC.
In fact, there is already a block of rooms available for those wishing to make
early plans. Oceanview rooms are available at a rate of $149 per night (plus 12
percent tax).
For reservations, contact the hotel at (800) 214-0258 and mention the NCALC
convention.
A trio of guest speakers has already been confirmed for the event: DLI CEO Bill
Fisher, DLI President Barbara Harvey, and Carol Memberg, executive director of
the Pennsylvania and Delaware Cleaners Association and publisher of National
Clothesline.
The educational topics at the convention will range from the state of the
drycleaning industry to plant maintenance for dummies to why some cleaners are
struggling and some are not.
Additionally, NCALC will offer three evenings of social gatherings and its
Allied Trades-sponsored tabletop exhibits.
