Hurricane cancels 2005 LFA New Orleans convention The 2005 annual convention of Louisiana Forestry Association, scheduled in New Orleans Aug. 30-31 to Sept 1, was cancelled because of approaching Hurricane Katrina which threatened catastrophic damage in the city. This edition of The Piney Woods
Journal was prepared and delivered to the printer for
publication prior to the convention, with advance stories
on awards and other events. LFA publications director
Janet Tompkins of Alexandria said the awards will be
presented later this year at an event to be announced.
The Journal expects this edition to be delivered late,
since printing is at a plant in the New Orleans suburb of
Harahan. We regret the inconvenience. |
