Hoping that we have a good group of volunteers and climbers. Last I heard, we do have 20 climbers signed up so far. Cutting off at 30. That date is coming up FAST!!! Haven't seen much chatter, so Hoping we are going to be seeing everyone! Doesn't seem to be the old Tree-Buzz it used to be or maybe it's just me. BTW... Annie had an issue with her email and computer, so lost email addresses from April... so if you haven't had contact with her or Bob Hunt since then - PLEASE give her a call 517-337-4999 or email: info@asm-isa.org. Thank YOU!!!!
 
Oh yeah... one other thing... unless we are stormed out on Saturday, and have to go for a Sunday complete. Remember, in Holland you have Lake Michigan, Wooden Shoes (and of course great Beers). If you stretch your time, Grand Rapids is only about 25 minutes away - Which is Brew Town AND also ART PRIZE Time!!!! Great time for the WHOLE family!!!! (Not that Tree time isn't :) ).
