During this time there will also be a sit and stitch craft session available for those who want to bring a craft to work on.
Saturday evening our Awards Banquet kicks off with a cash bar, delicious dinner, and time to discuss the day’s presentations with friends. After dinner, tickets will be drawn for the Annual Fundraiser prizes. Then help us recognize the WWOA’s Forestry Leader Scholarship recipient, Wisconsin Tree Farm Committee award winners, and fellow WWOA members (submit your nomination) who have given so much of their time and energy to WWOA and our mission.
Sunday we'll head out to Dave and Dianne Hoffman's property for our Field Day. We are still working on the station topics; but there will be eight to ten field stations on a variety of woodland topics available to choose from. A hot lunch will be served in the field.
Come for a tour, a day, or the whole weekend. We're looking forward to another great Annual Meeting. Here's to our 46th year!
