March Meeting
April 21^TH 2006
TECHNIQUES MEETING 7-8 pm

SHOW TOKNOMA SET UP PRACTICE - This our last meeting before the club show.  Sandy Planting will instruct us on how to do a formal display.  This is a workshop.  Bring the trees you plan to show, your stands and accessories, if you have them.  You will have the opportunity to try different arrangements with your materials and be able to borrow materials from others that might work better.  All members are encouraged to set up a tokonoma display.  If you don’t feel your trees are suitable for a tokonoma, bring them for the running display or in-progress area.

MAIN MEETING 8-10 PM
The exhibit plan will be available for advanced tokonoma sign up, which saves time and makes things run more smoothly Saturday morning. There will be lists passed around to sign up for various show duties like food, hospitality, kitchen, and plant sales.  Everyone’s help would be appreciated for set up and teardown of the show, the sale plants, kitchen, and the demonstration areas.

We will be in a new location and a call is out for all hands on deck.  We have the opportunity to become a fixture at the Palo Alto Art Center which will give us a lot of needed visibility in the community.

Hopefully, this change in venue will help us attract some new members.  Many of the people who attend the Art Center activities do so with their children.  If we can entice the kids, their parents would be sure to follow.

Dues are Past Due
Please get your checks to Paul Thompson to keep your name on the roster.  Dues are $25 per single member and $35 for a family membership.  You can bring a check to the club meeting or mail your check to Paul.  It is your dues and the profit from our annual show that enable us to present the monthly programs.

June Meeting
This meeting be a lecture on Azalea care by Jim Ransohoff.
