TACF Celebrates 25 Years!
1983-2008

25th Annual Meeting

Please join us in Chattanooga, TN, October 24–26, 2008, at the Sheraton Read House. We begin with a chestnut feast at our annual reception, followed by a visual journey through a virtual forest. On Saturday, we will be touring historic Ashland Farms—The Patten Family Home, followed immediately by an elegant sit-down lunch and live entertainment by a very special guest. Sunday will be a day of reflection where we look back on the last 25 years—what was, what is, and what will be. This will be a day not soon forgotten. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime event!
