Ronda notified the CAC that Allen Nichols of the American Chestnut Foundation was invited by Ronda to come to Danby to talk and asked the CAC to sponsor this. At the presentation he would be giving away trees. (This is in reference to an email Ronda sent to the CAC). A discussion of this was deferred for a discussion until a future meeting.
