anniversary. |
The Shoe Service
Institute of America celebrated its 100th
Anniversary in July with its 100th Annual
Convention. Events included several educational
seminars and a trade show, but the highlight of
the weekend was the banquet during which SSIA
presented its Silver Cup Awards and officially
celebrated its anniversary.
The anniversary
celebration included a presentation from the
president of the German shoe repair association
who flew in to congratulate SSIA on its |
|
milestone. Also,
Vibram sponsored and produced at 25-minute video
that walked viewers through 100 years of
American and shoe repair history. Copies of the
video are available free of charge on VHS and
DVD. Contact
John
McLoughlin for your copy.
Nearly 150 shoe
repair shops, 30 exhibitors and 20 finders
turned out to help SSIA mark the occasion.
