PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well that was a fun weekend!\u00a0 Our annual Bonsai show and sale was a big success due to the participation of all our club members.\u00a0 Leading up to the show we had donations from the Penny Jensen Family, the Watanabe family, Jim Collis, Janette Chun, Gary Ishii and Chikugo-En, the Carol Browne family, the Kaz Murai family, Robert Pressler and Kimura Bonsai Nursery, Asami Goya, Jason Saito, Mel Ikeda, Kelly Lui, San Diego Bonsai Club, Louis Carrillo, Matthew Gelacio, and Nelson Sanabria.\u00a0 Without these donations the club raffle and auctions would not be what we have today.\u00a0 To all the generous patrons, thank you from the Dai Ichi Bonsai family.<\/p>\n

Any show is only as good as the support it receives from it\u2019s members and friends.\u00a0 We had a GREAT show!\u00a0 I\u2019ve received many compliments from older members, new members and even the staff and workers from the City of Gardena. \u00a0 Thank you everyone.<\/p>\n

The beginner\u2019s workshop was a massive hit.\u00a0 We had 18 new students and could have had another 18 if we had more trees, teachers and space. \u00a0 I would like to thank all the members and friends of the club who took time from their day to help with the class.<\/p>\n

The club dinner, raffle, and auction was a big hit.

A special thank you goes out to our own CJ Levinstein who makes the club run like a clock, Jason Saito\u00a0 who makes all the little things look like a professional has touched them,\u00a0 well he does and it shows.\u00a0 And lastly our good friend Dennis Makishima who took time out of his busy day to share his knowledge with the Dai Ichi Bonsai members.<\/p>\n
