Isn't Chicago pretty much a Central place?? Where are you talking about??

As usual, Ron knows something. Probably KC or something. That's good. I can't stand people from Chicago. Right Ron? :-)

LOl, its like INDY or Nashville..

Thats way more centralized that Chicago...

[Christopher 102]

Anywhere further south than Chicago would be more centralized.

Texas is like in the middle of the U.S. and Dallas has more than enough room to hold a convention like the one back in 2004, the one with the window cleaners association. That year there was snow and it really was a great convention and I learned a lot of great things.

I never found out who they were calling "little union boy" but when I asked they said that it is some weirdo that always talks about being part of an association or organization but I think that they were just mocking that person and calling it a "union". The guys and a lady there just kept on cracking jokes about that person.

2004 was the year I started in business and that was a great convention to go to, I would like to see that happen again with the window cleaners, I met a lot of great people that were in their industry for a long time, most were doing windows for over 20 years, some over 30 years.

I learned a lot about window cleaning and I made money cleaning windows on some jobs where that might have broke the deal if they were not done.

Even if the convention was not in Texas, a more southern state would be easier to get to so more people could drive if they wanted to.

[John T 744]

Kansas is a pretty Central state. To me it really depends what time of season these Conventions are held which determine if I can make them. I also would like to go to a warmer state if the Convention is going to be in the winter months.

If I had one choice of the Month I would like to do a Convention it would be the beginning of March. There was a poll a few years ago and this time of year was the favorite by a large margin.

The Dallas Convention a few years ago was a good one. That was the First year I became a PWNA BOD. There were many good PWNA BOD's back then including Beth Borrego here who I think was an executive BOD or just on the brink of becoming one.

That Convention worked well because it was in Conjunction with the IWCA. This is something the ***** can explore for future Conventions to do a partnership like this. The total of people at the Convention was from what I remember over 400 people and as many as 700 all together.

That was my first Powerwashing Convention and at that point I was already in my 9th year in this business. The two PWNA Conventions after that one were also very good.

Today From the way its shaping up the ***** Convention is going to be phenomenal!!. Who knows maybe one year the *****/PWNA and the IWCA can do a Tri-fecta. That would be sweet!!
