Epping, NH–Members of the New England Lumbermen’s Association (NELA) met here recently for an in-person summer meeting, which kicked off at Abenaki Timber Corp. Though a facility tour was not part of the meeting, NELA attendees enjoyed the networking opportunity this get-together provided.

Barbecue for lunch was provided by Goody Cole’s BBQ on-site, followed by a NELA business meeting, which was moderated by incoming club president David Hubbard of GMC Hardwoods.

NELA announced that the association is easing back into hosting meetings again on a regular basis and this abbreviated gathering launched that effort.

The fall NELA meeting is scheduled to be held in Northampton, MA. The date has not been set as of this writing.

Information or questions regarding NELA can be addressed by emailing Chris Castano, NELA secretary/treasurer, at ccastano@mainewoods.net.
