TESTIMONIALS
From the Las Vegas Convention!

 

 

This was my first Restorer's convention (new member), I would like to say that the entire event was outstanding! My "hats off to you (and Bill)." You did such a great job in making the entire convention a success. Not only did you make sure the event went so smoothly throughout each day, but I was very "honored" to see your skills first hand, as you worked with us in person in the various demonstrations. Fantastic job! The expertise also shared by Ernie and Grace, as well as the Supplier rep's; made this event very informative. I met so many wonderful people, who openly shared their experiences, talent, and information. In fact there was so much going on, that I was "hard-pressed" to catch it all. Thank you again for such an outstanding event and for your unlimited energy and dedication in making the Association the success that it is!

Thank you so much!!! This exceeded my expectations in what I thought I could learn. This is going to help me so much , I am very excited. Not enough space for all the thanks I could give.
Yours truly,

Yvonne

 

Thank you so much for all the information you shared with us. I've already had contacts with 2 of the people I met there. It was so nice to finally meet you and see your complete dedication to the world of restoration! I appreciate your sharing the knowledge with me and I will do the same for any of my students and other restorers. Can't wait to try all the new techniques!

I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work for the Las Vegas convention this past week. I felt a burst of energy when I got home to get right to work. I had a lot of confidence coming from the things I learned at the meeting.

Just wanted you to know how much Jim and I enjoyed the convention! We got so much out of a multitude of subjects. I just got through ordering a color chart for the Monarch gold leaf. This is something that will increase our incomes ASAP!! I'll let you know how things are going after I have applied my glaze over it. We loved every minute of it.

I will tell you that the quality of the types of finishing, restoration, claims services companies that were represented was very impressive and informative. I personally gained valuable information (not all the techniques of course), but the dangling of the carrot to add more services to our company. Marble and stone repair, gilding, and the possibility of getting into transit claims.

I met several members of the CPPC, members of the Premiere Service Group, and many artists who are accomplished in the repair of porcelain, Dresden lace, crystal, ivory. If you'd like a personal account please contact me at merkleys1@aol.com. The membership is only $65.00 per year.

Firstly, let me say how much Angela and I enjoyed the convention! We met new friends, we developed new skills, and found new materials, could not ask for much more! It was certainly worth the trip from the UK!

The convention was truly a lifesaver for me! I have been in this business for around 6 years and have had no one until now to talk with if I had a problem with something or just to trade ideas. Just finding a supply source was a life saver. I really look forward to the coming year with all this new information and contacts and what it will do for my business.

I certainly hope to be at the next convention, I enjoyed this last one and hope to learn more from the coming one and meet more nice people. Thank you for the information on the airbrush and thank you very much Andrea for your help and assistance and most of all for all the effort that you are making in this association.

First it was a wonderful convention! I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot. The interaction with other restoreres is something that everyone needs, it gives you ideas and lets you go off on tangents that you would have never found by oneself. I will do my best to be at the next one just for the energy and enthusiasm it gives me.

Another busy two and a half days of education, sharing, networking and making friends.  I think I've tired everyone out!  Las Vegas was the site, with 118 restorers in conversation. Again, I can not find the words to define the tremendous experiences that were shared.  Friendships were made and everyone brought home more than 3 new things they learned.  I know, because I asked.  So, I'll let you here it from the attendees:
