UAMCC in the Big Easy

Well I think we all made it back safe and sound from the Big Easy. Hats off to everyone for making this a very successful get together. The UAMCC discussed much with the attendees and I think we all walked away from the discussions with a sense that the UAMCC has plotted it's course in the right direction. I must admit that I was very encouraged with the participation and willingness from the contractors to assist the UAMCC with our overall strategy and direction.

A personal thanks to Gene from Lightining Clean and Joe from Mid City Power Wash. These two individuals financially contributed to the UAMCC endeavor during the discussion and for that WE thank you.

As the UAMCC continues it's Round Table tour it is our hope that contractors in other regions see the benefit of the UAMCC like those that attended New Orleans.

Once last thank you - Thad and Judy worked so very hard in making this happen. They both did a fabulous job.

Here it is, the "Official" song of the UAMCC - LOL

Here is the music http://www.afcsat.com/mid/Y-M-C-A.MID


Here are the words:


Cleaner, there's a need to feel down.
I said, Cleaner, look at what's going down.
I said, Cleaner, they soon won't be around
There's no need to be unhappy.


Cleaner, there's a new place to go.
I said, Cleaner, when you're short on your dough.
You can learn there, and I'm sure you will find
UAMCC is on time!.


"Is this the end of the PWNA
Is this the end of the PWNA


They had every chance to do the right thing
Their own destruction they do bring ....


Say "Bye Bye to the PWNA"
Say "Bye Bye to the PWNA.


You can learn how to clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...


Cleaner, are you listening to me?
I said, Cleaner, what do you want to be?
I said, Cleaner, you can make real your dreams.
But you've got to know this one thing!


No man learns to clean by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the UAMCC.
I'm sure they can help you today.


It's fun to learn at the UAMCC
It's fun to learn at the UAMCC.


They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...


"Is this the end of the PWNA
Is this the end of the PWNA


They had every chance to do the right thing
Their own destruction they do bring ....


Cleaner, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt their board didn't care about me.
And that's why they gonna' be history.


That's when someone came up to me,
And said, Cleaner, take a good look and see.
It's an organization called the UAMCC
And soon PWNA will be history.


"Is this the end of the PWNA
Is this the end of the PWNA


They had every chance to do the right thing
Their own destruction they do bring ....


"Is this the end of the PWNA
Is this the end of the PWNA


They had every chance to do the right thing
Their own destruction they do bring ....


UAMCC
you'll find it at the UAMCC
no man, young man, learns to clean by himself
young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf

UAMCC
then just go to the UAMCC
UAMCC
young man, young man, i was once in your shoes

UAMCC
young man, young man, I said, I was down and out with the blues.

UAMCC
