Miller Wins at NHLA Convention 1

Memphis, TN — Recently, the Hardwood industry gathered in West Palm Beach, FL, for the National Hardwood Lumber Association 2021 Convention.  Throughout the event, representatives for the Inspector Training School Educational Foundation (ITSEF) sold 50/50 raffle tickets. Tickets were $100 each, and the winner would split the total earnings 50/50 with ITSEF.  

During the Havana Nights Gala at the end of the Convention, between a delicious dinner and dancing, NHLA drew the winning ticket, which was purchased by Miller Wood Trade Publications’ very own, Gary Miller. Gary stopped by NHLA headquarters in Memphis, TN to collect his winnings, $5,200. Ever the comedian, Gary asked the photographer if his hair looked okay before accepting the check from NHLA Chief Inspector and Dean of the School, Dana Spessert. 

After a good laugh and some pleasant conversation, Gary went home a happy man, while ITSEF had $5,200 more in their coffers to continue supplying scholarships, technology, and more for students.
