Cleaning Up

Last week, in the midst of her New Hampshire campaign, Hillary Clinton flew to Flint, Michigan, to show her support for the people there.  “I will stand with you every step of the way,” said Clinton.
 
In a similar vein, Jimmy Kimmel has left Hollywood more than a half-a-dozen times to travel to Washerst, PA, to offer his support in the re-building of the historic downtown area that was destroyed by the New Year’s fire (information on the fire is HERE).  In particular, Kimmel has focused his initial efforts on the reconstruction of the coin-op Laundromat that was situated below the Emmett Lee Dickinson Museum.  Both burned down to the ground in the overnight inferno.

Kimmel said that he would dedicate whatever time is necessary to see this endeavor through because both of his parents devoted their lives to careers in the field of laundry services.  Helmut Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel’s father, earned an Associate’s Degree from the internationally-acclaimed Washerst Dry Cleaning Academy, and he was a certified Martinizer at the Kwik Kleen One Hour Dry Kleaner.  Kimmel’s mother, Swannanoa Kimmel, was a laundress, and for many years, she was the Primary Assurance and Accountability Networker for the National Association for Laundry and Linen Management.
 
Together, the National Association for Laundry and Linen Management, The National Council on Dry Cleaning, Clotheslines, and Fabricare Studies, and the International Institute of Laundry and Ironing Sciences will honor Kimmel on National Laundry Day (April 15, 2016) with the prestigious Order of the Immaculate Purifier
