A tour of the Kane Hardwood sawmill in Kane, PA, was a highlight of the recent Penn-York Lumbermen’s Club meeting, which was hosted by Collins Kane Hardwood.
The Penn-York meeting included dinner and an association meeting, featuring guest speaker U.S. Congressman Glenn “G.T.” Thompson. That was followed the next day by networking opportunities via a golf game and sporting clays.
Kane also hosted attendees at an open house to celebrate the new energy efficient “passive house” building: Six&Kane. The building is part of a sustainable energy movement to make structures airtight to reduce their energy needs for heating and cooling.
