Forestry Summit supports Ronald McDonald Family Retreat

A charity auction in association with STIHL at the upcoming Forest Industry Strategic Summit in July will provide an opportunity for forest managers and contractors to show their generous side. Funds from the charity auction will go towards the first Ronald McDonald Family Retreat, which will be built in Rotorua. The retreat will provide families and their seriously-ill children with a free and comfortable holiday destination when they need it the most and often can least afford it. Families of sick children will be allowed one week to enjoy a holiday together. On behalf of the forest industry Jochen Speer of STIHL said they were pleased to be supporting such a good cause.

The auction takes place during the Forestry Summit dinner on 22nd July where there will also be time for plenty of networking and socialising. The event is already attracting many of the key players in the New Zealand industry. Registrations are flowing in now - and the deadline for early bird discounts closes next week - on 13th June. Speakers from both the New Zealand industry and internationally are busy preparing for what is going to be THE key event on the 2008 calendar for the forestry and forest products supply chain. There has also plenty of interest from contractors in the Australian as well. To register go to www.woodsupplychain.com or call Libby Stulen on 07 921 1382.
