WHFA members to build teams, bikes during conference

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 20, 2008

Roseville, Calif. — Western Home Furnishings Assn. members will take part in an unusual charity event and will see a new format for presentations at the WHFA Conference and Expo in Tucson, Ariz., May 18–20.

Kicking off the event will be an opening session called "Build-a-Bike and Learn to Build a Relationship with Your Community."

Participants will build 30 bicycles, which will be donated to the Tucson Boys and Girls Club. While team-building with one another, attendees will learn about the benefits of building a relationship within their own communities. The session will be hosted by Emmy Award winner Jack Gallagher and sponsored by Powell Co.

A number of educational sessions and workshops are planned, and attendees will be able to see new product and vendors at the expo.

WHFA also has added activities to get conference-goers out of their seats, including the annual golf tournament at the Ventana Canyon Golf Course, a P1 Kart Racing activity or a tour of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.

The 2008 Western Retailer of the Year Gala, the evening of May 20, will honor Lee Goodman, Jerry Navarra and Ann Navarra of San Diego-based Jerome's Furniture. Simmons Co. will sponsor the event.

WHFA has negotiated discounted hotel rates, airfare and car rental for conference attendees. For information on pricing and discounts, or to register for the Conference and Expo, visit www.WHFAconference.com or call (800) 422-3778.
