Looking to A New Year

I would like to personally thank each of you for your vote of confidence in me to represent the Maryland Northern Virginia Floor Covering Association as your new president for yet another year.

As always, the board continues to maintain that education is still our main purpose and the key to success. We will continue to supply your sales staff and installation members with the very best in comprehensive training programs at a reduced cost. We are working hard on a new web site that will add value to you as a member. It will be a way for us to get you new updates faster . There will be many more benefits for you that we will talk to you about later . Membership dues are currently $275 dollars. Any training that you take advantage of as a member enables you to utilize a scholarship of $500 from the World FCA. Also, by joining our local association at a cheaper rate then a World membership, you become an automatic member of the World FCA. You can’t lose!

Since we believe that it is important to give back to our communities, we will continue to reach out to those in need. This year, through our summer golf tournament we will continue to provide donations to both Believe in Tomorrow (a children’s home for cancer victims), and The Floor Covering Foundation. Through membership donations we expect to be involved in various other charities throughout the year.

If you have not yet renewed your membership, or would like to become a member for the 2010 year, please give us a call at 877-709-6732. We would love to have you on board to help us make this one of our best years yet. Working together, we can make a difference!

Roland Thompson
President
