From the Editor

Hello Smallwood-News subscribers:

I'll be attending the SmallWood 2010 conference in Hot Springs, Arkansas, April 20-22. This year's theme is "Bridges, Business and Biomass." I hope to see many of you there. I'm also moderating a panel titled "Smallwood 2008 and Beyond - Wisconsin Mobile HewSaw Story."

The conference will be held at the Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa, and by the way, if you register on or before April 1 you can save $75.00. That's tomorrow, so jump on this opportunity to save some money!

See you in Hot Springs!

Craig Rawlings
