Jon has always been straight. I have only had the pleasure to speak with him maybe 2- or 3 times over the years but I have gotten to know him over the years on these boards. I enjoy his company on the threads!! Good stuff Jon...

Priceless Rick....

I would like to publicly thank all of our ***** Supplier Members. Over the last 2 months, ***** Supplier Members have been helping the ***** spread the word about the upcoming convention. They have unselfishly help promote this event in a very big way. From personally speaking to customers at their store all the way to placing the ***** Convention Post Card in customer orders. A special thank you goes out to the below suppliers: Bob W from Pressure Tek Pete M. from SunBrite Jake C from Armstrong-Clark The ***** is receiving calls from contractors and mentioning your guy's names. Pete...had a guy from Georgia call today. Jake...same neck of the woods...the gentleman from Atlanta Bob...received an email from one of your customers. Bob, Pete and Jake.....THANK YOU. We appreciate the effort and we look forward to seeing you and the rest of the supplier community in Orlando! Rock on Suppliers...Rock on'

ePowerwash.com was one of the 1st reference sites I went to about 8 years ago. I think that is how I found TGS!!

Break out sessions and topics will be announced in a few days. This portion of the convention will make up the "meat and potatoes" of the convention. The convention committee has spent a considerable amount of time with this part. Stay tuned and Go *****!!

Okay everyone! For those that are seriously going to attend....this is for the wives. I need a tentative head count on those wives that will be eager to attend a Outlet Store activity? We have a shuttle service in place but need to get to them a preliminary head count. What will be the Outlet Store activity? The ***** is labeling this as the Outlet "Shopping Extravaganza". Not only will the wives get great deals but with the ***** you will receive even more of a discount on the all ready discounted prices. Stay tuned for details on that! Premium Outlets offers an exciting collection of 150 outlet stores from the finest designers and name brands, featuring high profile names like Burberry, Coach, Cole Haan, Diesel, Dior, Dooney & Bourke, Etro, DKNY, Fendi, Frette, Giorgio Armani, Joe’s Jeans, Oilily, Tod’s, and more, all offering everyday savings of 25%-65%. Just so all of you know, I purchased my wife a Coach bag while I was in Orlando and I will say that the price I paid for it was WAY below the regular price. Now...guys...please ask you wife if she wouldn't mind attending this. If so, please post it here!!! Thank You!!!
