102 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK MID-WEST FASTENER ASSOCIATION PO Box 5, Lake Zurich, IL 60047 TOLL-FREE 1-800-753-8338 TEL 847-438-8338 EMAIL mwfa@ameritech.com WEB www.mwfa.net FASCINATION WITH FASTENERS By Nancy Rich The MWFA’s most popular class, Fascination with Fasteners, was held on March 23rd with over 40 students attending. The class ranged anywhere from the brand-new employee to the veteran. Surveys indicated everyone walked away with new fastener knowledge while enjoying the class. This hands-on class with a plant tour to Allstar Fasteners allows students to gain knowledge in many facets of the industry. It is because of our industry specialists, Tom Blakley (Brighton Best Int’l), Bill Vodicka and Adam Anders (Allstar Fastener), Matt Delawder (SWD Inc.), and Jeff Adams (Wing- Hamlin) that we can share so much information in one day. David Gawlik (Stelfast Inc.) has spent several years on the Education Committee working to enhance this class. Based on attendance, David has succeeded! We appreciate all those contributing to making this class possible. Check www.mwfa.net for other upcoming classes - Basic Print Reading (August 22nd) and Fastener Training Week (www.fastenertraining.org) (August 21st-25th). <strong>2023</strong> Event Schedule FSTNR WEEK , 23 Lincolnshire Marriott Resort Lincolnshire, IL August 20 Sleep in Heavenly Peace Bed Build Abbott Interfast, Wheeling, IL August 21 Open Houses August 22 Print Reading Basics Table Top Show Fastener Bash Lincolnshire Marriott, Lincolnshire, IL August 23 Golf Outing Crane’s Landing Golf Course Lincolnshire Marriott, Lincolnshire, IL August 24 MWFA Mixer Real Time Sports, Elk Grove, IL August 21-25 Fastener Training Week Lincolnshire Marriott, Lincolnshire, IL October 9-11 International Fastener Expo Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV November 2 Scholarship Awards & Elections Belvedere Banquets, Elk Grove, IL November 4 Planning Meeting Eaglewood Resort, IL December 14 Holiday Party Medinah Banquets, Addison, IL MWFA Welcomes New Member Packer Fastener, Green Bay, WI ASSOCIATION ARTICLE MID-WEST FASTENER ASSOCIATION
