130 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK MWFA ANNOUNCES NEW VENUE FOR 2022 FSTNR WEEK from page 56 The afternoon of August 23rd will the 40th MWFA Fastener Show. The Tabletop Show will allow suppliers from across the country to exhibit their products in the heart of the fastener industry. The show will open at 1:00pm and run until 6:00pm. While the industry has enjoyed many virtual meetings with their associates, the preferred option is an in-person meeting. It’s often said the face-to-face meeting is the most productive, so take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your products, source new suppliers, reconnect with industry personnel, and learn about new products and their applications. The show features suppliers of fasteners, secondary services, heat treating and plating as well as services to the fastener industry. The show can also be utilized as a valuable education tool for those new to the industry. This economical event allows companies from across the country to travel to Oak Brook which is easily accessible. The show will be followed by the Fastener Bash which always proves a great time to continue those conversations begun at the show and secure new relationships for suppliers and distributors. The Bash will feature an open bar and appetizers from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Join us on August 24th for the 69th MWFA Golf Outing at the picturesque Willow Crest Golf Club, home to numerous professional and amateur golf events. With a beautiful, natural setting, gently rolling bent grass fairways, well-bunkered greens, and unique water challenges, the 18-hole championship course is one of the finest in Oak Brook, Illinois. This Chicago golf course features multiple teeing areas for golfers of all experience levels. The course is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, where land, water, and wildlife are protected. Enjoy rolling fairways, well-bunkered greens, and challenging water hazards. The week doesn’t end after the show and golf. On Thursday, August 26th, the MWFA will host one of their MWFA Mixers inviting fastener friends to the patio at Real Time Sports in Elk Grove. This allows more networking while enjoying beverages, pizza, appetizers, and raffles. The fun casual atmosphere allows local and out of town companies to enjoy a great Chicago evening together. Fastener Training Institute will be participating in FSTNR Week by providing their Fastener Week program for those desiring to achieve their Certified Fastener Specialist certificate. This week class offers intense education and plant tours. Students may then take a final exam to be eligible for the Certified Fastener Specialist (CCFS) designation.
