On
behalf of the Ontario Fabricare Association, the
Order of OFA

is presented to
Paul
Rodd
In recognition of the highest level
of individual excellence and achievement in the garment care
industry.
Forty three years ago Paul entered the dry cleaning industry
as a summer employee. Since that time he has been involved in the
growth & development, not only of Lindsay Cleaners, but the
profession as a whole. Throughout these years at Lindsay Cleaners,
Paul has been very proud to work in a true family-operated business
alongside his parents, Ivan & Ruby, as well as 2 brothers, 2
sisters, wife, nephew, daughter & son (& lives to tell of it
still!!)
As well as on the job training day- to- day, Paul attended
the National Institute of Dry Cleaning in Silver Springs with the
illustrious Jack Barth & Dave Puskas-all Ontario boys who had
never met until 1963.
Paul was very involved during the ‘70's, with the planning
& eventual move, of Lindsay Cleaners to its present location
& works constantly to upgrade equipment, techniques, education,
& services for the betterment of his staff & customers.
Management has always been appreciative of Lindsay Cleaner's loyal
staff, most of whom have been a part of the success of the business
for a minimum of 10 years.
Locations in Orillia , Bobcaygeon, & Lindsay, encompass
laundromats, a carwash, drycleaning , wetcleaning, drapery, storage,
repairs, mat rentals& Heirloom wedding dress services. Lindsay
also maintains a gas bar, a combination that never ceases to
surprise 1st time customers! Within all it's communities, Lindsay
Cleaners has always supported, in as many ways as possible, local
charities & organizations, receiving, in recognition, many
plaques & certificates that are proudly displayed in the main
lobbies.
Paul began his executive involvement within the Industry in
the Kawartha Division of DCLI, eventually becoming a member of the
Board of Directors & assuming the Presidency of OFA in
2000-2002.(A proud event for him as President, was attending an
ELCDA function with his Dad who is a DCLI past president) He also
enjoys sharing ideas & consultations with fellow members of the
Fabricare Management Group. As Past President on the Board, he
remains concerned & interested, in the future of the
organization working just this past summer with fellow members to
discuss concerns such as declining membership.
Paul has always worked very hard for Lindsay Cleaners &
in promotion of the Industry while maintaining both have provided
him with a good life& no shortage of very “interesting days”,
some more so than others!!!! Paul & Anne are very proud to
follow Ivan & Ruby as owners of Lindsay Cleaners & to be
members of OFA.
