Retailers Recognized During Achievers Club Trip

Denver (February 2, 2006) - PRO Hardware Retailers from across the country joined Distributor personnel at the PRO Hardware Achievers Club trip January 25-29, 2006 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Retailers representing The Bostwick-Braun Company, Horizon Distribution, Inc., Long-Lewis Hardware Company, and Wallace Hardware Company, Inc. enjoyed the event at the Marriott CasaMagna Resort.

Shari Kalbach, PRO Group managing director, said the annual Achievers Club event is a way to thank loyal Retailers for their business and recognize their achievements.

On Thursday morning, the PRO Hardware business meeting included a presentation by Bill Sharp, The PerCon Group, Kansas City, Missouri, a popular industry speaker. Sharp spoke on the "5 T's of Success" - a summary of successful people's actions and attitudes.

Retailers are selected to attend the event based upon their purchases through Manufacturer partners and participation in programs such as advertising circulars. To be eligible, Retailers must earn at least 500,000 program points and be in good standing with their PRO Distributor up through the actual beginning date of the trip.

The 2006 Achievers Club trip is aboard the Carnival Legend cruise ship and will sail to the island of Bermuda April 19-25, 2007.
