2024 Annual Meeting
We held the FOTT Annual Meeting on Tuesday January 7th. It was well attended with about 50 people showing up despite the cold and icy weather.
The FOTT Board of Directors and officers were elected by acclimation.
John Conrad gave a presentation on the 2024 activities and the plans for 2025. John DeVinney gave an update on the Fairfield Glade Trails and Marshall Scott brought everyone up to date with the activites at Uplands in Pleasant Hill.
