Mill Tour & Golf Outing 2009 a Success
Shaw and Mohawk Mill Tours & Golf Outing 2009 a Huge Success
The golf outing went great rasing money for both Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation
and the Floor Covering Industry Foundation. The Delmarva chapter of CFI believes in these causes and supports them every year by being a hole sponsor and helping with the event. The event is sponsored by the Maryland and Northern Virginia Floor Covering Association
The mill tour went great with Shaw and Mohawk along with Mapie really giving us great treatment. The day started off going thru the Shaw mill then headed to the tech dept and testing area. loaded up and headed to the Shaw Laminate plant, back into the van and off to Mohawk mill , then finished up the night with a joint Chapter meeting with the Delmarva and Dalton chapters hosted by Mapie and touring their plant.
It was 14 hours both ways riding in the van. That in itself was worth the time talking about how and what we can do to help raise the bar in the trade. Neva, Ken and James, from the Shaw Tech department helped pull this together. Without them it would not had happened. Andrew from Mohawk Tech dept. pulled the Mohawk tour together for us. We saw so much going thru the two carpet mills as well as the Shaw Laminate plant and the testing department. Few of the group had ever been through the mill before, so they walked away learning so much and want to make this a yearly trip.
