Hello,

I hope you are making plans to join us at the celebration of the Florida
National Scenic Trail this coming Sunday, October 27 after the Florida
Trail Association's Central Florida Conference.  The announcement is below.
Please come and join us in celebrating the USDA Forest Service's largest
single land purchase to protect the route of the Florida National Scenic
Trail.  The FTA, USDA Forest Service and The Trust for Public Land are
hosting this event. A free barbecue lunch is being catered by TPL.  Hope to
see you there.
