PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

January looks to be another busy month of bonsai fun and excitement. Our January meeting will bring our friend Michael Roberts who will be discussing air layering techniques\u00a0as well as thread grafting and other important tips and tricks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We also have the winter silhouette show put on by the Baikoen Bonsai Kenkyukai at the LA Arboretum. Viewing\u00a0trees without leaves enables the enthusiast to see the structure of the trees and any flaws they may have.\u00a0It\u2019s a great show and the Saturday night banquet is always fun and exciting.
\n<\/p>\n

The last event of the month is the Shohin Seminar in Santa Nella, California.\u00a0This is always a fun time, experts donate their time to give workshops on various material.\u00a0Registration has already started but there may be open workshop slots still available. This year,\u00a0our club is the host for the hospitality event on Saturday night.\u00a0Come on by and have a drink, some snacks and talk with all the California bonsai artists at the event. To learn more and to register for the event, please visit\u00a0https:\/\/www.calshohin.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
