 I would like to invite you to attend the Great Lakes Kiln Drying Association's 2026 Fall Meeting at Hilton   Appleton Paper Valley Hotel in Appleton, WI.

Thursday morning we will start registration at Krueger Lumber and move right into the tour. Then we will head over to Elipticon Wood Products and visit their facility. Lunch is to be determined at a local establishment.   After lunch, we will travel to Granite Valley Forest Products. Following the tours, we will all gather for "Stress   Relief" and dinner at the hotel to catch up with friends, colleagues, and our meeting sponsors.

 Friday will feature several informative topics related to the lumber industry. Emma Kiel, with Urban   Evolutions will discuss market opportunities for urban & responsibly managed wood. Trevor Vaughan, with   SII Dry Kilns will talk on thermo modifications and Omar Espinoza from the University of Minnesota will share   information on thermally modified markets.

 The Fall Meeting is a great opportunity for members and prospective members to network and learn about   each other's businesses and new things happening in our industry. We look forward to seeing you in
 November!
