1st General meeting of the season

Great turnout, even some new faces, George Eisenmann joined us for the first time and is going to join us for the 2011 season. Mills Parts center was the meal sponsor. Sales representatives Mark and Larry were there, and wanted to remind all shops to use the GM parts conquest program. Its easy to use and theres $$ on the table for those that want to participate. Sometime in November of this year, Mills will start carrying Saturn parts and will of course offer the same customer service and prompt delivery we receive will all lines that they carry. Chad from Johnsons Supply wants to remind all shops of the upcoming Painter Certification class October 28, 2010 at Lake Superior College.
