Joseph Krow Suspends Operation Due to Fire
107th NCALC Convention
Since there are only two three day weekends we get in our business, the tradition of Memorial Day Week End to host the NCALC Annual convention was designed with the family in mind. This year is no exception with the dates being May 24-26, 2013.
Friday and Saturday nights social functions are family friendly from the Mardi Gras Friday and the Luau Saturday to the buffets complete with delicious foods for both adults and children to please everyone’s appetite. Music for both nights will be provided by Super Frog, the second generation of “The Bopper” Dave Overby’s daughter Kristina serving as DJ. Sunday night the adults go more formal with the Presidents Reception and Awards Banquet while there is a special party for the Young Cleaners and kids.
Education sessions will be on the mornings of Saturday and Sunday. We are very pleased to offer a wide range of topics and speakers to peak everyone’s interest. Saturday will feature George Evans of OPOC.US on “It can’t be ignored. Address employee benefits now!” Followed by Ken Uchikoshi of Sankosha Manufacturing of Japan on “ How to Improve Our Industry and Make it More Attractive.” The Sunday offerings feature David Farrington from NS Farrington to present an update on their Hanger Recycling Program. Frank Kollman of Kollman & Saucier PA will look at labor law issues. Then Diana Vollmer of Methods For Management will take the stage for a very informative program.
After our educational sessions we will adjourn to the Fun in The Sun and Beach around 12:00 Noon both days. The free time is devoted to your families and friends to socialize, network, get some of that great coastal sunshine and have some good old fashioned R&R to renew for the evening festivities. The second Annual Draw Down Raffle will close out the Memorial Day Week End Events of the 107th NCALC Annual Convention.
There will be plenty of time for fun in the sun, educational seminars, food, drink, games, social net working, all of the great things you look forward to when you attend and participate in the NCALC Annual Convention.
Check out your “Carolina Clean”, mail box, the NCALC web site for the Convention Registration form, complete it and return it to the NCALC office via mail, e-mail or FAX call The Blockade Runner and make your room registration immediately, they will not hold rooms with convention being a holiday weekend.

2nd Annual Draw Down Raffle at
107th Annual Convention
The 2nd Annual Draw Down Raffle will take place at the 107th Annual Convention of NCALC over Memorial Day weekend under the able leadership of Tom Wilson. The plan is same as last year that calls for 200 tickets individually numbered for $100.00 each and ticket #145 in a live auction when there are only four tickets left in the draw down for $4,000.00 in prize money. An additional wrinkle is a majority of the final five ticket holders (min. three actual ticket holders must be present) can elect to receive $500.00 each and stop the final draw. You do not have to be present to win!
$100.00 prizes will also go to the holders of the 50th and 100th ticket draw. As tickets are drawn (removed from the drawing as potential winners), they will be placed in a second drawing for door prizes donated to or purchased by the raffle committee.
To purchase a raffle ticket or donate a door prize or money to support the projects and programs of NCALC, contact any board member or Tom Wilson. You also can purchase a ticket with your convention registration.
Tom urges all members to get their tickets sold and money
turned into him as soon as possible.

Sto Fox Memorial Scholarship Fund Established
At the winter Board of Directors meeting held at Pine Crest Inn in Pinehurst, NC recently, your board unanimously voted to rename the scholarship fund “The Sto Fox Memorial Scholarship Fund” and Vice President Chris Edwards made the first donation. How appropriate to name the fund for Sto who always had NCALC and the drycleaning industry in his heart and soul! We encourage you to donate to the scholarship fund in Sto’s memory. The Fox Family will receive notice of all who donate to the fund in recognition of their support to NCALC and the memory of Sto.
Donations may be made to the NCALC Sto Fox Scholarship Fund and sent to the NCALC Office, P.O. Box 306, Richmond, IN 47375.
