Hello to all my fellow forestry lovers! I wanted to share a couple of things of interest. The first is that this week has been proclamed National Forest Products Week by President Bush. You can read the proclamation online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081016-5.html

The second is a proposed amendment to the Georgia Constituion. House Resolution No. 1276 is designed "to encourage the preservation of Georgia's forests through a conservation use property tax reduction program." This is Amendment 1 on the ballot. Please encourage everyone to vote "YES" for Amendment One to prOtect our forest lands!

I learned about this amendment at the regional Georgia Forestry Association meeting I attended here in Forsyth, along with lots of other great information.

I am more convinced than ever that it is a huge honor to represent the most dynamic industry in the U.S.A!

Can't wait to see all my sister queens and their families at the Florida Forest Festival this weekend. You guys drive safe and let's go have some fun!!! Big shout out to Ms. Vicki, Ms. Amanda and Ms. Dianne. Thanks for making this possible for us. We love you!!!
