Resuming activities...

Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving vacation. We resumed our meetings and today we had a nice video conference with "The 4 Penguineers" team from California. They showed us their presentation on "The SOD Trees" and we shared our "Pine Beetles in the Rocky Mountain" presentation.

Here is a fun video that I took at the meeting...

See you next Friday!
