PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
The next couple of months are a busy time for the club. We have shows to prepare for in both Torrance and Gardena. Prepping trees, accent plants, cleaning stands and jita for display is a time consuming effort. We have plenty of work for those who wish to help. If you would like to show a tree at the Bunka Sai Festival in Torrance we have 5 spots for trees, we also have demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday. Show setup is Friday starting at 1:00pm any help would be appreciated.
Our 40th Annual show and sale is fast approaching, May 9th and 10th. We are looking for trees for the show, if you need help prepping or getting your display ready let me or Rod know. We will need help with all aspects of the show, table setup and prep, setup of the trees and displays, getting the sales area.
Ready, help with the beginners workshop, working the sales area, prepping for the Saturday dinner, cleanup and breakdown of the show. Yes its never ending and full of small jobs to complete. PLEASE HELP US!
If you have any questions or would like to donate your time for any jobs talk with our Show Chair Rod Vilencia.
Our April presenter will be Ryan Pitts. Ryan studied Bonsai under Master David Nguy of Bonsai Jidai. He is the Past President of Chino Bonsai Club, the Co-Chairman of the John Naka Memorial Exhibition in Los Angeles, and his award-winning work has been in several exhibitions. He often travels, doing private collection work, performing demonstrations, and conducting workshops for clubs and shows around California.
