I hope everyone is now prepared for the warmer weather the Bay Area is headed for now that July is showing its true colors with 100 degrees temperatures predicted.

Our show is coming up, share the show flyer to get the word out!

We will be changing up our meeting for the first Thursday this month with John Thompson, who will be sharing his professional skills to help us see how the large but ordinary nursery material he purchased the day of our nursery tour can be used to get a jump start on a mature-looking bonsai.

A quick summary of Automated Watering Systems, the Auction form, and a special sale in the North Bay on August 6.

For the month of June, our first Thursday meeting will once again feature our club's Silent Auction program, where club members bring in their unwanted excess bonsai trees, pots, and any other bonsai related materials they want to sell and pass on.

The Annual Silent Auction is coming up. Please print out the form below for each item you bring in. Also, a book review by George Haas.

Last month’s auction was a complete success that went on throughout the evening with great enthusiasm and vigorous bidding. I wanted to thank the many club members that went over the top allowing the club to take 100% of the sold items.

What an amazing experience it was to have everyone meeting and working on trees again in July. It was a delight to see old faces and new alike working on trees again.
