GRATEFUL APPRECIATION
I think we can all agree how valuable City Trees is to our
members and how lucky we have been to have such a
talented and experienced team put it together for 11 years
thus far. Furthermore, we're pleased to have both of them
together in the same room for the first time in Indianapolis
and thus want to take this opportunity to present them with
these tokens of our esteem. Please help me in publicly
thanking City Trees Editor Michelle Sutton and City Trees
Designer Chris Deis. —Jeremy Barrick
