Welcome to the Kusamura Bonsai Club
We meet the second Friday each month in Palo Alto,
California. Visitors are welcome!
Next Meeting
Friday, December 8th, 2000 at 7pm
Annual Holiday
Party
It's
that enjoyable time of the year again, and time for
the Kusamura Annual Holiday Potluck
Supper.
It will be held in the Fellowship Hall across the
courtyard from the main First Congregational Church
building. Remember that the best parking is off
Embarcadero Road directly behind the church.
Price of
admission for members is a plate of a favorite appetizer,
salad, side dish or dessert. (Experience tells us
that we should have a wonderful variety of
delectables without contacting you in advance.) Oh
yes, please bring your food ready for the table.
Also bring any utensil(s) that will be needed to
serve it. Just to tempt you further, it is rumored
that Sandy Planting is bringing her famous Chinese
Chicken Salad as her contribution.
Spouses, other
special family members and best friends are, of
course, welcome to attend the potluck.
There will be
some great
door prizes, including Sandy's fantastic
juniper rock planting that she styled at the
November meeting and two special large pots.
Auction
There
will be something new this year: a silent, minimum bid
auction.
The items to be auctioned include a sizable azalea
contributed by Jim Ransohoff, a wonderful tall
informal upright juniper contributed anonymously,
and and assortment of superior quality pots, large
and small, donated by our member Dr. Fritz Howard.
Please remember to bring your checkbook so that
you'll be ready to bid.
The silent
auction offers members a rare opportunity to
acquire something really special for their
collections. It also enables the club to raise
money for two projects that it has undertaken: (1)
a contribution to the GSBF
Collection North for the water basin located on
Tosh's Walk near the garden gate, and (2) a
donation toward a pedestal in the garden in memory
of our member Connie Hinds, who recently passed
away. Connie was an early, enthusiastic member of
Kusamura, a good friend to us and to bonsai, and
also for many years, the editor of Bonsai Clubs
International magazine.
