From the President's Desk
As we move to the halfway point of winter, conditions have been very mild with not a lot of snow. I have to admit I am enjoying this weather. Not having the extra expense of snow plowing so far helps the bottom line. For the businesses that rely on snow for our winter recreations, we could certainly use some snow to help their economic situation.

GLTPA's Director's Notes
Greetings, An ad came to our attention recently and written in this ad were statements about the wonderful benefits of using bamboo fiber for production of toilet paper and paper toweling. Statements like the following were taken from an ad called “Seedling” by Grove. “Strong, tree-free paper that replants the forest” and “Keep trees growing with every long-lasting, jumbo roll”.
