FROM THE EDITOR
Craig Rawlings
Dear Readers:

I want to give you a heads up on some important happenings going on with the Forest Business Network website and email newsletter. We are having the website completely redesigned from the ground up and it will largely be shut down this upcoming weekend (Nov. 12-13) and much of next week for that buildout. You will still receive your newsletter on Wednesday the 16th, with the only difference that it will not link to our website. We apologize for any inconvenience and will work hard to get everything online as quickly as possible.

We officially launch the new site in the Nov. 23 newsletter and look forward to unveiling what we feel will be not only a truly beautiful design, but an improved tool and resource that you can use to grow your forest product business. I believe you'll really like what you see.

Best wishes,

Craig Rawlings
