2010 Heartwood Forest Council Program
Please note: not all names listed are confirmed.
Times are subject to change as is the program.
Your suggestions and comments would be most welcome and will help us design a program that best meets your needs.
We hope you will make plans to attend
While we realize that limited time, cost considerations, and our desire to minimize our environmental footprint make face to face meetings increasingly difficult, it is nonetheless important for those of us working together to build the bonds of friendship and cooperation that cannot be achieved through conference calls and emails alone, if we are to be successful
