AK Women in Timber to hold reunion

The Alaska Forest Association is celebrating its 50th anniversary convention in Ketchikan on Oct. 17-19. AWIT will host an open house from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 18 for friends and past members at the Ted Ferry Convention Center. We hope any former AWIT members who are in the neighborhood will come and join in "catching up" session. Bring your pictures. We look forward to seeing you.
