“We would like to thank everyone who entered the Mitchell 1 ‘Shift Into High Gear’ Facebook sweepstakes and congratulate Gary Townsend as our grand prize winner,” said Nick DiVerde, senior marketing director for Mitchell 1. “We’re looking forward to meeting him at our shop management workshop in Atlantic City.”

Workshop attendees will be welcomed at an evening cocktail reception on Thursday, April 25 and training will run all day on Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27.
