Project Learning Tree
We are planning on sponsoring a project learning tree-training session in Hood River sometime this spring. If you are interested in helping with this effort please come to one of the next Exec meetings or one of the next chapter meetings. We are looking for members to do outreach at the schools.

2002 State Convention

Planning has started for the 2002 SAF State convention will be co-sponsored by the Columbia Gorge and Blue Mountain Chapter.  On April 9th, Larry Hoffman, Ole Helgerson, and Richard Larson met with four members from the Blue Mountain Chapter in Pendleton to begin the preparations for the 2002 state convention.

Subjects discussed at the meeting were location for the convention, theme for the convention, and committees to be formed.

Location: It was decided that a general poll of attendees at the 2001 convention during registration would help determine if the 2002 convention will be held in Hood River or La Grande.  Each site has different advantages.

Theme:  It was decided that the general theme for the convention would be integration.  The details for this will be decide at future meetings.

Committees:  Committees are being formed.  If you would like to be a part of a committee, please come to either of the May meetings.
