Join us in person March 4-5 for the SDA Annual Membership & Board Meeting, in the heart of the Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX. Let's take advantage of coming together again for camaraderie, share solutions, learn something and have a little fun. The Riverwalk is filled with shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment. This meeting is free for SDA members and $100 for non-members.
​
Travel advisory: SDA is planning this in-person meeting; however, if the last 2 years taught us anything, things may change due to circumstances beyond our control. Given COVID-19 is still around and government restrictions fluctuating with variants, the meeting may be restricted in some way.

Tour of Culpepper Cleaners
It's a dry cleaner's favorite thing to do - see how another dry cleaner operates. Culpepper Cleaners recently installed two automated assembly systems - one for dry cleaning and one for laundry.
​
Since 1937, Culpepper Cleaners has been serving the San Antonio community. DLI Chairman Jess Culpepper, a third generation dry cleaner, will be hosting attendees at the Callaghan Rd. plant. ​
