PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Well that was a fun August; heat and windy conditions, Hurricane Hilary, a bonsai show chopped in half.  What fun and exciting things can September bring?  We have the US National Show and a local show at the Bowers Museum, bonsai is happening everywhere. Everyone is prepping for the GSBF Rendezvous in October, so get your raffle donations out and lets take a trip to Santa Nella for some fun.

The Bonsai Bingo meeting was a big success!  We had great food, good company, and lots of great prizes.   Thank you goes out to our bingo caller Mr Robert Pressler.   Thank you to everyone who donated prizes to the raffle table, food for the potluck, and a special thank you to Gary Ishii/Chikugo-En for the plant donations.

I have another special request.   We are having a beginner workshop for the JCI on Saturday October 7th.  We are looking for teachers for the Saturday morning workshop.   Give me a call and support the club, lunch will be provided.

Thank you for all the support

Doyle Saito
