July Membership Meeting & Training

The July general membership meeting will be hosted by and held at the West Coast Arborists, Headquarters facility in Anaheim, CA.  Andy Trotter with WCA has arranged for two training sessions to occur, one held in advance of our general meeting and a second topic during the general meeting.  The pre-meeting training session begins at 10:00 a.m. on the topic "Street Tree Revival" where John Mahoney (WCA) will speak on "Learn about reusing urban wood from city trees back in the communities from where they came."  During the general meeting, WCA's Pat Mahoney and Victor Gonzales will speak on "Updates In Tree Trimming Contracts" and is described as "Current issues with liabilities of urban trees, peak demand for tree trimmers, and, a glut in the market of greenwaste."
WCA is graciously sponsoring a meal catered by Dutch Oven Diner and features smoked brisket, pulled pork, smoked sausage, green salad, roasted cream corn, brown rice pilaf, apple & berry cobbler with ice cream.  The meal is free to agency members and vendors pay $15 per person.
