Had a great time on the cruise and met a lot of great members of the CLA. It was nice putting faces to JohnH and Bodman and many others. Talking to owners and manufactures was very interesting and I walked away with several ideas to help market and improve my store.
Thanks to the CLA and the sponsors for a great time.
See you in Vegas!
Duane.

I've got to get to one of the conferences. I really feel like I'm missing out.

Jason,
You are missing out. The opportunities to network with other owners at this level are far and few, so anytime you can get to a conference, local meeting or the CLEAN show, make the time and take the trip.
I understand the CLA has a real good price on rooms in Vegas for the CLEAN show in June.......
Maybe we can schedule a get together for Forum users at the CLEAN show so everyone can get together and meet each other face to face.
Duane.

Duane; and all others;
I will be attending the clean show in Vegas. However since it is so close to home I will be commuting to and fro.
It would be a great idea for CLA to sponsor a meeting place after hours and also perhaps a general meeting for all members. It could be in one of the side rooms or they could rent a room from one of the hotels.
Hay why not a banquet or shrimp night. Its been done before in Vegas. I have attended several with other organizations. I would pay extra to attend!
I would welcome meeting each and [U]everyone[U] of you.

Guys,
I think a mid-afternoon luncheon meeting would be fun. Maybe it could be in the restaurant at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It could be dutch treat since I think that restaurant is a buffet style affair. We would have to somehow reserve an area though.
Maybe some of you have a better idea? This was just off the top of my head.

I'll be there. We definitely should have a PT (planetlaundry) meet. How about somewhere near old downtown? Main street Station Buffet?

I'll get with the show planner and see if we can meet prior to one of the CLA cocktail nights.
Name tags with both our real names and forum names would be good.
