Dear Judy,

On behalf of the Chapter I want to thank you for the educational and enjoyable tour last week of the West Gold Creek Project. Everyone who attended felt enlightened and treated to a fine day. Several other members have expressed regrets that they had conflicts restricting their ability to join us.

We very much appreciate the cooperation the local USFS has shown our Chapter as we educate ourselves about your activities, priorities and methods. You help shape our entire natural community and play an important role in the shape of our natural systems. We appreciate your concerns to do a good job and make our environment a better place.

Please express our gratitude to Don for both his preparation and participation and also to those who attempted to join us.

Sincerely,
