 Headlining the many news items emanating from the annual AMOA Mid-Year Board Meeting was the election of John Pascaretti of Wolverine American, Inc., Redford, MI, as Secretary.
Traditionally within AMOA’s leadership ranks, an individual attaining the position of Secretary becomes the favorite to serve as President in four years, once he or she serves a series of one-year terms as Secretary, Treasurer, First Vice President and then President.
What makes Pascaretti’s election newsworthy and, in fact, historic, is that, if he does continue to move up in the top ranks of AMOA’s leadership and become President, he will be the first distributor in the association’s history to hold that title.
While the possibility of having a distributor as AMOA President in the year 2012 was warmly embraced by the association’s Board of Directors, so, too, was the election of other officers during the March 28-30 gathering at Amelia Island, FL.
This fall, at the close of Expo, Gary Brewer of Brewer Amusement Company, McMinnville, TN, will be the 2009-2010 AMOA President. Donovan Fremin of Delta Music Inc., Thibodaux, LA, will become First Vice President, and Andy Shaffer of Shaffer Services, Columbus, OH, will be the new AMOA Treasurer.

 The grand prize of this year's Wayne E. Hesch Scholarship program will be a Polaris Ranger All- Terrain-Vehicle (ATV).
For more than 25 years, the Hesch equipment raffle program has been an annual highlight at Expo, and this year promises to be no different.
The program, which raises funds for college scholarships--awarded mostly to students with a connection to coin-op--has generated more than $900,000 since its inception in 1985. It is named in honor of the late Wayne Hesch, who served as AMOA President in 1979.
Tickets are $25 each and $100 for five. To purchase tickets or for more information, contact Renie Buttermore at: 800-YES-AMOA (937-2662) or

 We're always looking for ways to drive traffic to exhibitors' booths and to offer buyers a great deal on products to be displayed at Expo. The Show Specials Program does exactly that. The completely FREE program was designed to provide Exhibitors with an effective way to enhance awareness about your products to existing customers as well as potential customers walking the aisles of Expo. Show-goers can shop the specials prior to their arrival in Vegas plus they also get a list in their show directory on-site.
Show Specials doesn't cost anything - it's only when a sale is made and the customer redeems the discount - a true "win-win" proposition! The deadline to register show specials is August 14, 2009. To download an entry form, click here. Any questions about the program, contact AMOA (800) 937-2662.
