May 2008 MEETING
More
information coming soon.
News
Dues Now Due
Hard to believe but another year has gone by and our
membership dues are up for renewal. We hope you all choose
to continue with us and bring a check to John or Helen
valued at $25 for a Single and $35 for Couple. Name badges
and club pins are available from Helen as well.
Important Notices:
Ed Poggensee,
past President and long time
member of our club has been hospitalized recently battling
Leukemia. Our thoughts, prayers, and energy are with him
wishing a speedy stable manageable condition.
It is with
regrets we announce the passing of Sam Iki, husband
of Jane Iki a few weeks ago. He will be greatly missed and
we offer our support to Jane as she struggles with her loss.
Board Notice:
The August outing this year will be a day at the Golden
State Bonsai Northern Collection, as a work day for the
collection. Many clubs go as a group to the collection to
work in the collection doing grounds work, weeding trees,
and general maintenance as needed. Kusamura will give its
August meeting for this purpose. For those of you who have
never been there or not recently at least, this will be a
great occasion to see a crown jewel of the north bay area
and get a feel for volunteering at the garden.
Officers: We need a few good folks!
This time of year the Nomination Committee chaired by Bill
Scott, assisted by Barbara Murray, and Janet Refvem will be
approaching members of the organization to server on the
board for two year terms. This year we will see a change in
our leadership as John Planting and Lonnie McCormick leave
office after serving a wonderful two years as President and
Vice President respectively.
We are also looking for a new Treasurer this year as Helen
Reist will assist but we need the position filled.
This is a great way to serve the club, grow the
organization, and your chance to plan programs for the
coming year.
Tree of the Month
Tosh’s Oak at the Northern Collection. Repotted a few weeks
ago by J. Carpenter and K. Shaner. Tree root area was
severely reworked to remove hardwood and allow more room for
root development. The tree is a Kusamura donated tree
developed by one of our founders and kept by the Plantings
for many years.
