PRESIDENT'S COLUMN
I am the new Connecticut Carwash Association (CCA) president and I look forward to serving you over the next year. So where do we start? How about my email address. It's [email protected]. You can reach me whenever you have a question about an upcoming event, committee or just a concern you'd like to discuss with me. I check my email daily so feel free to zip one over.
This year has been very exciting for the CCA. We just rolled out our first casino night at our annual meeting. Boy, was that a fun event! In fact, it was our largest turnout ever for the annual event. The troops were so excited they wouldn't allow me to close the tables down. The annual meeting actually lasted an hour longer than normal because members were just having so much fun. Why is that so amazing? Well, normally that meeting is not attended well and people can't wait to get out of there. Not the case anymore and allow me to list a few reasons why it is one of our most important get-togethers of the year:
- You get to vote on who's on the board
- You get to hear about potential issues facing carwash operators
- You get to gamble for great prizes for just the price of admission
- Oh, you also get to meet interesting operators who know a lot about our business.
So try to make that meeting next year. We're planning an even bigger casino night and I'm absolutely sure you'll love it.
Thanks to everyone who participates in our CCA events. The money we make at the events we hold helps us stay on top of issues like water use and sales tax, so it is greatly appreciated. Also, a special thanks to our vendors. They go above and beyond sponsoring our events and we just wouldn't be able to have a golf outing, annual meeting or Mini Expo without them.
Again, I am available by email to answer your questions. I look forward to seeing you at our holiday gathering on December 6 at Carmine's in New Haven. The food is incredible and the event is a great way to ring out 2006!
Dan Petrelle
CCA President
