Dateline Toronto - News came out of Canada today of the establishment of the first international chapter of the American Floor Managers Association. Although the lowest attendance in AFMA history, the event was punctuated with plenty of show bloat. The dinner was hosted by John Loveless, chair of the Canadian chapter of SIGPAY and attended by Paul Graller, AFMA Executive Director. In celebration of the event, Mr. Loveless exclaimed, "We are proud to be able to host this inaugural event, we're just SARsy that more members couldn't attend." Mr. Graller was also SARSprised,"It isn't often that when John opens up the SIGPAY vault, that members aren't there to partake in the festivities."
Pictured here are Mr. Loveless (left) and Mr. Graller (bloated) at the entrance to the Harbour Sixty restaurant. "Unfortunately," added Mr. Graller, "We are adding chapters faster than the Palm can open restaurants, but this place really knows how to cook up the beef."
