The farm and orchards are spread across Ashfield, Buckland and
Hawley. The main farm complex is in Ashfield which is where we will
host the meeting. The chestnut orchard is in Hawley.<br><br>

Thanks for offering to book NEFF's room at their headquarters in
Littleton for our Spring Board Meeting on Saturday April 25 from 10AM to
4PM. We had planned to use a DCR Park Site, but this conflicts with their
state wide "Spruce up" day which attracts many visitors, but is
not the best environment to hold a board meeting.<br>
<br>
We plan to hold our summer Board Meeting in western MA at Brian Clark's
Farm in Ashfield, or Hawley or both. <br>
<br>
Brian, which is it??<br>
<br>
I am interested in hearing more about Dr.Mike Clutter as a speaker for
this year's annual meeting<br>
thanks<br>

<dd>Hi Jamie,<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Hope all is well with you and that you are looking forward to spring
and bud break. I am sick of this winter.<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>I got your message about possibly holding a chapter meeting at NEFF
in Littleton and it can be arranged without a problem if you can give me
some potential dates. I can set up the meeting room and get the coffee
brewing, so let me know.<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>BTW, the recent article by Scott Merkle about cloning American
chestnuts at the University of Geargia School of Forestry was of
particular interest to me as my nephew Dr. Mike Clutter is Dean of the
school and he arranged a visit to Scott's lab when I was in Athens
two years ago. I called to congratulate him on the article and he tells
me they have made great strides since I was there. Could be a good
speaker at the next annual ACF meeting.<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Just a thought<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Jim<br><br>
