The <br />entire day was devoted to the vision statement, process, and goals. The biggest issue was a word <br />change replacing the word "sustainability" with "balance". Some of the attendees were not <br />happy with the wording, and most likely there will be a 3rd draft. <br />Marc Catlin said that he was bothered by the wording. He said that the visioning process was <br />much tougher than they had envisioned. <br />Report from the Educational Committee <br />George Sibley announced that Roy Mask of the Forest Service would be giving a presentation on <br />Pathology and the State of the Forest at the next meeting. <br />1.

Tom Kenyon seconded, and the motion carried <br />unanimously. One member, Rachel Kullman, abstained from voting due to her potential <br />interest in bidding on the project. <br />3.
