President’s Message – October 2020
Welcome to the first full month of fall! I spent a weekend in Central Oregon visiting my in-laws in Sisters.

Conservation Corner – Klamath Revival
Editor’s Note: The Klamath River dams could begin coming down in 2022. The plan for demolition is nearly as massive as the dams themselves, involving multiple agencies, tribes, sport fishing groups, environmental groups, landowners, Pacificorp, and Klamath River Renewal Corporation.
