Mid-West Fastener Association CELEBRATING 74 YEARS COMMITMENT TO THE FASTENER INDUSTRY . SPRING 2020
MWFA & COVID-19 - EVENTS TO BE RESCHEDULED As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation with Stay at Home Orders, company travel bans, and most of all everyone’s safety, the MWFA Board has had extensive discussions regarding this year’s events. In the best interest of everyone we have made the decision to postpone the 74th Anniversary dinner (and combine with next year’s 75th Anniversary event), the MWFA Table Top Show and Golf Outing. To be sure we provide quality events we will put these events on hold until 2021 when we are able to meet safely. We respect the importance of safety as well as the time constraints on businesses trying to return to normal business once Stay at Home Orders are lifted and COVID-19 cases have greatly decreased.
Please note in 2021 we will hold a Table Top Show. With companies working to resume normal business after the pandemic, this will offer an economic opportunity for exhibitors. We want to be conscience of the rough economic times 2020 has brought all businesses. We will continue to keep you updated on industry news and keep you informed as new plans develop. This may not be a normal situation but the strength of our country will bring business back and we will be together again at events. If you have any questions or concerns regarding MWFA events and activites, or how you can help with COVID-19 relief efforts, please feel free to reach out to us at mwfa@ameritech.net.
