NECPA celebrates
100 years at expo
The North East Canvas Products
Association (NECPA) is celebrating
its 100th anniversary at its annual
expo and conference taking place Jan
16-18, 2020, in Worcester, Mass. The
expo theme is "Then and Now" in
honor of the many multigenerational
NECPA member companies whose
roots, in many cases, go back to
the 1800s. The NECPA list of
past presidents includes multiple
instances of three generations within
the same companies, some of which
are still thriving today.
The conference will feature the
current owners of some of these ageold companies who will share their
stories of the challenges, triumphs
and vision of "Then and Now."
With an expected attendance of
more than three hundred people,
the conference and expo floor have a
reputation as one of the largest zone
events for education, trade show and
networking. The 100th anniversary
celebration will be capped with a
museum of memorabilia and an
elegant dinner dance in a vintage hall
in Worcester. To register or for more
information, visit www.necpa.org.

Clarification
In the Sept./Oct. 2019 issue, the
address for Jefco K. Inc., owned by
Jeff Kleger, should have been listed as
Wynnewood, Pa. Kleger was one of
many individuals quoted in an article
called "Disaster Stories." In the interest
of reader clarification, D.C. Humphrys
Co. Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., purchased
and now owns Jefco Manufacturing Inc.
Regional marine
workshops a success
Both regional MFA workshops held
this past fall were a hit with workshop
participants. The Southeast Regional
Workshop at Southern Stitch Canvas
& Upholstery LLC, in Gulfport,
Miss., and the Great Lakes Regional
Workshop at Marine Tops Unlimited
Inc., in Omro, Wis., offered a broad
range of hands-on educational sessions
including digital patterning instruction,
sewing machine maintenance,
cushion construction and much
more. Attendees also had time to
network and meet up with the tabletop
suppliers to learn about new products
and services. Both attendees and
exhibitors reported that they enjoyed
the camaraderie, educational content
and equipment demonstrations.
