Hi Everyone,

I have attached an announcement for the upcoming Colorado Tree Farmer of the Year celebration at the Schettler Tree Farm on Saturday, August 4th.

Please consider attending to honor Dick and Dixie Schettler and see the great work they have done. Bring a neighbor or friend if you’d like.

Since there will be a free lunch, please RSVP by responding to this email by August 1st (see link).

Also, I will send a map of the meeting location out to everyone who is attending by the end of the month.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Take care,
