Reviews

Sitting in that room, watching all those drycleaners getting all excited, bouncing up and down, laughing, arguing, and agreeing......well, it is I who thanks you. The feed back is wonderful. Everybody learned. And.....everybody will talk. Exactly what the Dr. ordered to get people interested in ODCA again!!!!

Brian Olson, Oregon

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Debbie Loventhal, Tennessee Fabricare Association Executive Director

Deb Rechnitz is the best "nuts and bolts" industry presenter I've heard. She has a good handle on all aspects of the business, from an owner's perspective. If anyone has an opportunity to attend her seminar in the future, DO IT. Deb made me think (and re-think), and that is about the highest compliment I pay to anyone.

These words from Chris Barnett to the Fabricare Forum...

You got RAVE reviews from everyone in attendance. We look forward to having you at future meetings. Thanks.

Pat Stouffer, One Hour Martinizing, LaJolla, California

We duly appreciate you for your excellent presentation in Las Vegas. We have learned from you very much and our members were very happy to receiving valuable information from you.
