MemberTo all,
I am going to start in with some well deserved thanks to all of you for making this show a tremendous success for the FabNet. I will continue this thread as I think of more…..am still recovering from Shane’s shots!
Thank you again to Al and Christina for their tireless efforts in the FabNet Florida booth. What a tremendous job both of you did. Don’t know what we would have done without your help.
Thank you to Joe and LynnAnne for lunch and to Joe for his tireless efforts to make this industry better. Joe, I know we all give you a hard time (well deserved of course…you naughty pirate you). Seriously though, your passion for this industry is always apparent and my hat goes off to you for all that you do to try and make it better.
Norm and Susan, thank both of your for helping out in the FabNet booth and for sticking around to the bitter end to help with all of the tear down. You two were terrific!
Fred from Back to Perfection: thanks for the stress balls. What a hit!! Who knew? And for putting on a FabNet shirt and volunteering in the booth. Everyone loved that a vendor would come and support FabNet like that!
Dave and all of the gang at FedSaw….SOOOOOO MUCH to thank you for!! First and foremost, Dave thanks for my first shot of the evening at the FabNet party as well as the delicious chicken wings! Thanks for carting all of our t-shirts, pencils and the rest of our stuff to the show. Then, thanks for helping us unload it all and bring it in. Thanks for supporting the FabNet with your advertising. We are so glad it is helping to grow your business.
Shane…thanks again for the shots!
Steve L from Monument tools….A WHOLE V-GROOVER for the FabNet booth give away?!?! What a stud!! Can’t thank you enough for that as well as your advertising support.
Will continue with more thanks…………..

MemberVal, I assume you guys got home okay? Any trouble with your flight?
Jacksonville and atlanta were madhouses with extra traffic. We sat on the plane in Jacksonvill for 45 minutes before they could close the doors, over 50 lost or missing people had seats. Most either slept in late or got hung up in security because they slept in late!
Get some rest, things will wait a few days.

MemberAl,
Yes, we made it by the skin of our teeth!! Our flight left out of Orlando at 7:30am and arrived in New York at approx. 10am where we had a connecting flight to Long Beach CA at 11:30am. There was snow all over the ground in New York and they were reporting temps of 30 degrees (brrrrr!). Needless to say this California girl stayed inside the airport!
Anyway, our plane was delayed about 30 minutes but we took off out of New York and had not been in the air more than 1 hour when Fox News reported that the winds in New York started to blow again and more people were stranded. Although my heart goes out to those weary travelers I am happy to report that I am sitting here typing away with my 3 year old son Tyler on my lap. Like Dorthy said, “there’s no place like home!”

MemberI knew I would think of more people to thank….
Thank you to Avonite for donating 750+ FabNet t-shirts for the show!! WOW!! Talk about a HIT!!!
Thank you to Wilsonart for donating all of the cool writting tablets. Everyone loved them!
Thank you to STARON for coming by the booth and giving us some of their cool flashlight – slash – level – slash – screw driver multitools. What a great idea!!
TOM MATHERS….how can I forget the life of the party??? Thanks for putting some volunteer time in the booth, but more importantly please thank your daughter for letting all of us at the FabNet steel you away from her concert. NOW THAT’S DEDICATION!

MemberThanks to Russ Lee for manning the booth. (P.S. Thanks to your family and son for allowing us to steel you away for a bit too. We are all pulling for your son to get better. Keep us posted as to how he is doing).
Thanks again to Dave and the crew of Fed Saw for their t-shirts. Have I told you guys what a COOL logo you have?
Thanks to Moreaware for the bitchen mouse pads. I took some home myself to my crew!! What a perfect give away to associate with your AWESOME software. Thanks to Harry too for the info he gave me at the show about our Moreaware program. I keep discovering more and more capabilities on this program. Can’t tell you how much I LOVE IT!!
WAIT A SECOND….TIME OUT!!! I DO BELIEVE THIS IS MY 100TH POST. Right on, I’m running with the BIG BOYS now!

MemberIt was a great show for The Fabricator Network, mega thanx for everyone’s hard work, especially to Val, Andy and Morrey!!!! It will be interesting to see which booth received the MOST traffic…. From all outward appearances, THE FAB NET booth WON, even though it was one of the smallest booths @ the show… amazing what you guys have done…. Oh BTW, It was a ton of FUN!!!!!!! Very Nice!

KeymasterAnd last but not least, Russ Lee at http://www.sitesNsolutions.com for helping. Of course I forgot to mention his name earlier. I had a list of the volunteers and I forgot to say thanks. It is inevitable that I forget something.
So of course Thank You for working the booth and also thank you for helping Norm Walters redesign his website.
