Tales from the Windy City
Hello from Chicago where I’m here for the International Metal Decorators Association’s annual conference.
The annual golf day to raise scholarship funds appeared to be a popular event judging by the raucous atmosphere in the marquee tent. You could see the British who had managed to get a round of golf in, having failed to acclimatise to the rather pleasant weather conditions. Plenty of after-sun needed this morning for some I’m sure…
Expectations were high for the raffle prizes during the gala dinner, where everybody was guaranteed a prize ranging from golf gear to DIY products. It was particularly amusing to see people deciding on stepladders as their prize of choice. I came away with a fetching golf polo shirt and Mark the booby prize of a golf towel. It’s safe to say we were rather envious of people walking away with plasma televisions and expensive golf sets!
For updates on the conference over the next couple of days, be sure to keep updated via our Twitter account – @CanTechIntl.
We now have a break until our next issue which is the combined July/August issue. As always, please get in touch if there is anything you would like to see improved with our publication. The more feedback, the better for us.
Until next time…
