The National Tree Farm Convention

The National Tree Farm Convention will be held in Portland, Oregon, this year, October 16-18, 2008, at the Oregon Convention Center. The anchor hotel is the downtown Hilton in Portland. This is a great opportunity for Oregon and Washington Woodland Owners to be close enough to take part in a great convention. Members that have attended past conventions said they are wonderful.

There will also be a silent auction to benefit Oregon and Washington Tree Farm programs.

The Oregon Tree Farm Memorial Fund

The Memorial Fund can accept donations from persons or organizations as Memorials, as Honorariums, or as Special Gifts. Donations can be cash, property, securities or any other form of wealth acceptable to the Fund Administrator. Current donations amount to slightly over $30K working for OTFS through security investments.

The donated principal amount can never be withdrawn. Only interest, dividends, long and short term capital gains, and/or investment gain can be removed from the Memorial Fund as measured by a clear formula applied yearly at December 31.

The Memorial Fund was designed to provide property owners an opportunity to offer conditional or non-conditional property gifts, for example, Family Tree Farms.

Conditional gifts could carry a written contractual agreement instructing the Fund Administrator how that donation must be handled. The landowner may instruct the Memorial Fund to manage the property for benefit of the Memorial Fund or any other named beneficiary.

Alternatively, instructions may provide the Memorial Fund direction for selling the property. Conditional gifts must be approved by the Fund Administrator before acceptance. Inquiries held in strictest confidence.

Please send your donations or phone inquiries to:
