IMPORTANT MESSAGE!
Dear Readers:
I promised I would remind you as we initiate new changes here in the newsletter and on our website. Beginning next week, this newsletter will no longer be called Smallwood-News. We've had a good, long run under that name and while it's gained industry-wide recognition, we realize it's time to make a change. In bringing both Smallwood-News and TimberBuySell.com under one, new company name -- Forest Business Network -- we can insure both more clearly represent our focus on the forest products industry as a whole. Rest assured we'll provide the same great content (but will of course always be on the lookout for new ways we can add value).
In addition to the newlsetter's new name of Forest Business Network and a rebranded look, you'll also notice the name change in the subject line. Be sure to watch your inbox next Wednesday morning to make sure the newsletter arrives safely. If not, check your junk mail folders. Feel free to let us know if you're not able to access your newsletter for whatever reason. You can reach us via our contact form by clicking here.
Best wishes,
Craig Rawlings
