RTA NEWS YOU CAN USE

The following is a letter from me and it was not paid for by anyone,
and no one has seen what follows until now.

I am writing to share my thoughts regarding the NORTH AMERICAN TIRE & RETREAD EXPO held in New Orleans last week. The Retread Tire Association (RTA) was an exhibitor and I attended along with Jeffrey Parks of RTA.

To state that I was pleased with the EXPO would be a gross understatement. I have not had such a good time at a tire & retread conference since the old ARA shows at Louisville. Although I would have liked to have seen more attendees, which I am certain will happen next year, I have nothing but raves for the promoters and staff at the show. Three cheers for Gus Lima, Linda Bassett and the rest of the folks who worked so hard to be certain that everyone received the very best service. They all did a great job to make all of us feel right at home!

Since I have been in the retread industry for nearly 40 years, as you can imagine I have attended many tire shows in the U.S. and in many other countries. Many of them have been great and this letter is not to take anything away from them, but I have NEVER been so impressed with the good service and full attention I received, as did all the other attendees, as I received last week in New Orleans.

Not only that, but the show was VERY productive for the Retread Tire Association! We came away with ten new members and a huge amount of good and helpful information, which will enable the Retread Tire Association to continue to be of great service to our present and future members!

My hope is that every reader of this memo will mark his or her calendar to attend the 2016 NORTH AMERICAN TIRE AND RETREAD EXPO in New Orleans! I promise that you will not be disappointed!

I will be happy to discuss the above with anyone who wants more information about why I was so pleased with the EXPO. I can be reached by telephone at 831-646-5269 or on my cell anytime at 831-917-6449.

Finally, you have my word of honor that I was not paid or otherwise compensated in any way by the promoters or anyone else to write the above. They will be reading it for the first time, just as you are.

Sincerely and with best wishes,

HARVEY
