Panorama SAF heads-upGreetings fellow Panorama SAF members;
  a.. Did you know that the Panorama chapter is hosting the Annual Inland
Empire SAF Meeting in Colville this June?
  b.. Did you know that the Washington Farm Forestry Association will be
co-hosting this event?
  c.. Do you realize that this event will pair those who have the questions
with those who have the answers?

Isn't this why we originally joined the Society of American Foresters and
isn't this why we have continued to remain among the membership?

We, as a chapter, have a tremendous opportunity here in northeast Washington
to promote our society and the services it provides, but to do this with
such a proportionately small number of members among the Inland Empire SAF
we will need all the participation we can get.

So we need to ask as members of the Panorama chapter... are we doing all we
can, or can we do more?

Are there factors limiting the involvement of our membership?

As a chapter should we re-assess the dates, times and places our chapter
holds meetings to better serve the needs of our members?

We as members of the Panorama chapter face unique obstacles having a
relatively small membership spread over a large region, but we also have a
unique opportunity to come together as a chapter and work to make this
meeting a real success!

That said, I would appreciate your feedback to factors that may be affecting
your involvement in Panorama chapter activities (underscore and comments?):

Meeting locations?
        Kettle Falls    Colville                Arden           Addy
Chewelah        Loon Lake               Springdale      other?

Meeting dates?
        Monday          Tuesday Wednesday       Thursday        Friday
Saturday        Sunday
        1st week of the month           2nd week of the month           3rd
week of the month           4th week of the month           5th?

Meeting times?
        Morning         mid-morning             noon
mid-afternoon           afternoon       early-evening           evening

Meeting topics?
        silviculture    planting                thinning
harvest         appraisal       insects         disease
herb/insecticides       fire

                roads           riparian                wetlands
logging         hauling         agencies        policy          other?

Other factors?
        members too friendly            members not friendly enough
non-members do attend           non-members don't attend

                        wife won't let me go            husband won't let me
go         can't get a babysitter          life's too busy

Seriously,
I know life is busy and filled with meetings...
but if we can find some common ground,
it can only serve to further the cause of SAF

Appreciate your efforts,

Britton Pettit,
Chair, Panorama Chapter SAF
