Re: STONEWORKS HAS BEEN SAVED!
During my time here, this is the proudest I have ever been of this organization. This is really awesome! Thanks to all of you that made this happen. We all look forward to gaining new members that are probably still trying to absorb the fact that a bunch of strangers have just helped them save their businesses. SFA rules!!

Re: STONEWORKS HAS BEEN SAVED!
I have been with this organization since before it's inception. This, truly is the proudest moment I have ever had (and I have had many) since being involved with this organization. It truly shows the industry what we are about. We are not just a group of industry professionals chatting online. Great job to everyone involved behind the scenes on this.
This should clear up anyone who was wondering if the SFA is worth joining or sponsoring.

Re: STONEWORKS HAS BEEN SAVED!
What a fantastic result for all small businessmen!
If anyone ever doubted the strength, power, and influence this organization has in the stone industry this should be a wake up call.
And there is nothing more powerful in this world than a motivated Mark Lauzon. SFA owes a large debt of gratitude to him for his tireless efforts, laser like focus, and abilities to make people understand what truly was at stake here.
And thanks also goes out to everyone else to made contact to associates to spread the word.

Re: STONEWORKS HAS BEEN SAVED!
I want to say thanks again, it's a big sigh of relief to put this behind us. It's great feeling to have support when you feel alone. Were very happy that Maple has reconsidered this and we hope that we can get back to business as usual.
Again thank you SFA!

Outstanding work guys!
In other news, Mark is now suing Ken for using the name Lauzon...
Just kidding, I hate lawsuits...especially the BS kind as this was.

Re: STONEWORKS HAS BEEN SAVED!
I am very happy to be a part of the "pending" settlement of this bullying corporation that is a major distributor on Consentino products in North America , however , there was an undertaking by Maple the Consentino (SILESTONE) dealer in Canada to confirm in writing to all of us that the law suites have ended and they would be contacting each of us within 3 days . well it is 3 days and nothing
NO LETTER , and NO PHONE CALLS , what are their intentions ,
My legal bills keep piling up , as we speak , I had ordered new business cards , had the web site modified and the list goes on
it was last friday when - they "MAPLE" said it was over and a letter would come out on monday , then we would all be contacted within 3 days , again , yet no confirmation
what should think , has anyone else been contacted about the dropping of their legal challenges to our name
is "SAVESTONEWORKS" , back on
thank you
