William “Willy” Truitt was selected ‘Woodlander of the Month’ for April, 2008.

Truitt is the managing owner of Amos Metz Rentals.  His company contributes annually $10,000 to $20,000 in the form of free rentals to public and private non-profit community service groups, including the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Woodland Tree Foundation, FFA and 4-H, the Yolo County Fair, and the Woodland Stroll through History.

Woodland Vice-Mayor, Skip Davies, commented that he has always depended on Willy to come through when he needs equipment for the high schools.

Truitt also has provided rental equipment for track improvements at Lee Middle School, the installation of the historic clock in the downtown plaza, and ladders and scaffolding in support of children’s theater.

The ‘Woodlander of the Month’ award recognizes outstanding community service and volunteerism and is co-sponsored by Mayor David Flory, the Daily Democrat, and Yolo County Supervisors representing Woodland, Duane Chamberlain and Matt Rexroad.
