VLA Gathers At Virginia Beach

摘要

Arecord 156 members, affiliates, associates and guests took part in the annual meeting of the Virginia Loggers Assn. (VLA) August 25-26 at the Virginia Beach Resort and Conference Center in Virginia Beach, Va. Judd Smith, VLA president, presided. Hiswife, Carmen, headed an active committee in planning and implementing the event. On Friday morning attendees boarded a bus and traveled across town to the Stihl manufacturing facility, where they were greeted by Bob Hynick, Stihl's Vice President of Operations. The group was divided into parties of 10 and escorted through the manufacturing facility to view the manufacture of blowers, trimmers and chain saws. The facility had expanded greatly since the VLA group first toured it in 2006. After Stihl Production Manager Kent Hall presented a brief overview of Stihl Corp., guests browsed at the Stihl museum and store.
