More Than 100 Attendees Enjoy ALC’s Annual Beach Meeting
The Appalachian Lumbermen’s Club (ALC) held its Annual Beach Meeting with dozens of sellers, buyers and suppliers to the hardwood industry.
The ALC met at the Avista Resort in North Myrtle Beach, SC, for the annual event and had more than 130 attendees. Casual networking is the theme for this weekend and included forest industry representatives from landowners, sawmills, distribution yards and secondary manufacturers from the central Appalachia region.
The group held two well-attended receptions and a dinner that was followed by a spirited game of Deal or No Deal. Participants were drawn and allowed to select a case that held cash prizes. Before opening the case, they could accept cash offers to sell or keep it. Aaron Mizell won the top prize of $300.
