2007 AAW Symposium: Is it true ...

Yes it's true! I know because I posted it! :D

The 2007 symposium is currently scheduled for Portland, and we thought it would be a good theme. In general there can be different positive connotations of that theme:
  • ecology
  • turning green wood
  • recycling wood which was intended for the dump
  • etc

There are probably a lot of other interpretations too. But if one wanted to do different interpretations I suppost a green Martian head or a depiction of a person using a lathe on a rocking boat could be done!
