Come Join us at the 2012 Zone 4 Convention in Charleston, S.C. September 20-23, 2012
WHAT IS ZONE 4?
We are the VA-Carolinas Canvas Products Association, an organization of both suppliers and fabricators of "canvas" products.
Our Supplier members manufacture and/or sell fabric, hardware, or other goods and services to the industrial fabrics industry.
Our fabricator members construct and sell goods in the industry. This includes awnings and canopies; marine covers, tops, and upholstery; camping, party, rental and military tents; banners and flags; truck covers and tarpaulins; and many other items.
We are called Zone 4 because we are affiliated with the Industrial Fabrics Association International. They have designated us "Zone 4" out of the many smaller regional organizations who have chosen to be a part of their association. As a Zone member you are "affiliated" with IFAI but need not be a member of IFAI to be a Zone Member. Many of our folks are members of both and many are only Zone 4 Members.
We meet together once a year, usually in September. We enjoy sharing our experience and knowledge, and learning about new products and techniques. We enjoy the fellowship of others who have something in common with us making a living in an interesting and ever-changing industry.
We invite you to take part in our organization. Join us in September at Convention and see if it isn't worth your time and money. We think that you will come away with some information useful in your work, and that you will also have fun at the same time.
Zone 4 is both "a place" and "people" to foster and build professional and personal partnerships beneficial to our ventures individually and collectively. In other words.....
GOOD FOLKS ENJOYING AND SUPPORTING EACH OTHER TO THE BENEFIT OF ALL. Come be a part of all this and see why so many of us wouldn't miss a single year!
