MWFA ANNOUNCES NEW VENUE FOR<br />
<strong>2022</strong> FSTNR WEEK By Nancy Rich<br />
Fastener Show, Training, Networking,<br />
Recreation All In One Week<br />
MWFA will hold FSTNR Week August 22nd - August<br />
26th. This event has proven to be a significant week<br />
of opportunities bringing the fastener industry together.<br />
This year’s show and golf will be at Oak Brook Hills<br />
Resort in Oak Brook, IL. This venue offers attendees the<br />
opportunity to stay on site for both events saving on travel<br />
time and allowing for more networking! This upscale<br />
conference hotel is 15 miles from O’Hare International<br />
Airport. The resort has several areas for dining, indoor and<br />
outdoor pools, a gym, spa, game room and sports courts<br />
for guests to enjoy. The resort is also near the Morton<br />
Arboretum, Brookfield Zoo, and upscale shopping at Oak<br />
Brook Mall.<br />
The week will kick off with an added feature of FSTNR<br />
Week ‘22 on Sunday (August 21st) with a charitable<br />
event. The MWFA is proud to partner with Sleep in<br />
Heavenly Peace. SHP works with groups/communities<br />
to build beds for kids who don’t have their own. They<br />
ASSOCIATION ARTICLE<br />
believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical,<br />
emotional, and mental support that a child needs. Sleep<br />
in Heavenly Peace is 100% volunteer-driven and donationdriven.<br />
MWFA is inviting the fastener industry to donate to<br />
cover the cost of building beds and come help us build the<br />
beds on August 21st. Industry personnel, families, and<br />
friends, come out and enjoy the socialization while helping<br />
children in need. No special skills needed to assist, as<br />
there’s something for everyone!<br />
A Safeguards for Buying Import or Domestic<br />
Manufactured Fasteners Seminar, guiding fastener<br />
personnel with a checklist of potential pitfalls and a list<br />
of questions to identify and ask prior to ordering special<br />
parts will be held on August 23rd from 9:30am-12:00pm<br />
prior to the opening of the show. This seminar focuses<br />
on avoiding costly mistakes in product error. The class will<br />
be taught by Richard Pease, who before owning his own<br />
company R.K. Precision Products, worked for domestic<br />
cold header manufacturers, and various Industrial<br />
Fastener Distributors. Richard has over 35 years of<br />
product experience, purchasing, and sales in the fastener<br />
industry. He has been instrumental in coordinating MWFA<br />
education programs for many years.<br />
