at the Farm. The event was well attended and contributions exceeded expectations.
The event was designed to say thank to Congressman Deal for his many contributions
to the carpet industry. Congressman Deal was gracious as always and gave everyone
more than enough time to discuss issues. He also used the last ½ hour
to outline the priorities for the remainder of the year in Congress and answered
a series of questions. He even got into who might be the Presidential nominees
from both parties. A special thanks to all those industry executives who made
this such a success. CARE Conference Deadlines Near
