The Mid-West Fastener Association is happy to announce their 29th Annual Fastener Expo will return to Chevy Chase Country Club. This venue was used in 2008 with great reviews from the exhibitors and attendees as well as golfers. The Fastener Show will be on June 7th and the 58th Annual Golf Outing will be on June 8th. In their continuing efforts to be cost effective, the MWFA will keep 2010 Show prices the same as 2008. This allows exhibitors an economical opportunity to network with the fastener industry in the Midwest, the heart of the industry.

Thank you to all our 2009 Scholarship Donors, making another successful year of scholarship awards!
