Re: Mega Workshop - Official thank the Directors thread
This was my first Mega Workshop. Very impressive! Great job! Thanks to all who set it up.
I learned a good bit of valuable info and met some great people.
You couldn't have picked a better location either. The live music never stops.

Re: Mega Workshop - Official thank the Directors thread
It was well done. Great job by all directors AND volunteers. I saw everyone's wives and kids even helping out as usual. Plus people like Sam and Cameron really helped out.
I was walking around the show the other day and it hit me that this one had more of a trade show feel to it. The attendance and size wasn't far from what Stone Expo was this year. Plus, I have talked to several slab companies here in Atlanta since I got back and they all knew about the SFA show and expressed interest in attending.
This is a real accomplishment for the SFA. Thank You to all that made it happen.

Re: Mega Workshop - Official thank the Directors thread
Impressive to say the least. A BIG thank you to all that made it possible.
My wife asked if I got to meet Elvis, I said no but I met someone even better Mr Antolini himself
. A special thank you to Ron for coordinating that particular event. I got more out of that seminar than any other I have ever attended.

Thanks you ladies and gentleman for all the hard work and long hours you put into making this event great. Not only with setup, running and tear down, but also the hours months ahead of time building the relationships witht he sponsors that come in and show their gear. Well done. It is very appreciated.

Re: Mega Workshop - Official thank the Directors thread
I knew we missed out big time! Antonio and I were bummed the whole week because we couldn't be there to offer help and the fact that we miss everyone. Its a chance for us to meet new members create friendships and buy dinners and drinks to repay some of you for the help and support we have gotten over the last couple of years. See the machines in action and all the networking, learning, sharing and taking home a few nuggets to improve, implement in our shop.
There is ton of work that is put in to these shows that the Directors do. I can see the Directors being up early and going to bed really late. Working tiredly to get everything set up and then torn down. I just bet to them it's worth every bit of energy because of the turn out of the SFA members, sponsors.
To me it would be!
Way To Go SFA! Always raising the bar and congrats on the amazing show!

The directors took a lot of time from their business and family to pull this off. Thank you for a great show.
Also thanks to the volunteers and sponsors.
Remember to show this organisations strength and only buy from sponsors, they deserve first chance at our business.

We hope that it was helpful to all the fabricators who stopped by, and we thank you for your loyal support.
