2010 Fall Inter-Industry Meeting - Nov. 9-10

The Inn at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA

You are cordially invited to the 2010 Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. Inter-Industry Meeting and Tour on Nov. 9-10 at the Inn at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the Appalachian Lumbermen's Club.

The formal program begins on Nov. 9 with a reception for lumber salespeople and buyers from the Appalachian region at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. and program following dinner. A tour of the rough mill and manufacturing plant of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture in Galax, Va., begins at 9 a.m. on Nov. 10.

The keynote speaker is Curt Hassler of BalkenTier in Morgantown, WV, a contractor for the Appalachian Hardwood Center at West Virginia University. He will report the overall results of the 2010 Appalachian Production Cost Survey and explain its meaning to both primary and secondary manufacturers.

Vaughan-Bassett Furniture employs more than 700 people and is the largest U.S. producer of cased goods. Tour participants will view the state-of-the-art rough mill and Vaughan-Bassett's new line of Appalachian Hardwood furniture.

The fall gathering will include a golf tournament at 11 a.m. on Nov. 9 at the Pete Dye River Course in Radford, Va., along the New River with prizes for top finishers. The Inn at Virginia Tech is an excellent facility with nicely appointed rooms and suites just off the campus. The AHMI rate is $109 and I encourage you to make your room reservations early by calling (540) 231-8000 before Oct. 9 and ask for the Appalachian room block.
