Club meetings are in the Rotary Room of the Heather Farms Garden Center,Walnut Creek, on the 2nd and 3rd Wednesdays of each month, from 7:30PM to 9:30PM. The Rotary Room is on the lower level of the Garden Center. A ramp leading to the lower level is to the left of the Main Building Entrance off the parking lot. We are able to provide vehicular access to the lower level for a few members who may be disabled or have very large trees to carry in to the meetings.
Meetings will start promptly at 7:30PM with a brief business meeting, and will end at 9:30PM. Please be ready to meet at 7:30PM.
Bring plant material appropriate to the class topic for the workshop. Working on the tree in the style discussed aids in understanding the lecture and the style.

From the President
At the July joint meeting we had fourteen members in attendance which is half of our total membership. That is an improvement over the turnouts we have had in previous months and we hope even more of you will be at the August joint meeting. We especially noticed that most of the members at the meeting were intermediate members so we would really like to see a better turnout by the basic members. We look forward to seeing as many as possible of you at the meeting August 10.
The Library will be open. After a long delay we will again be able to store our library and meeting materials in the meeting room. If you have any library materials please bring them and check them in. All members are encouraged to take advantage of our Club Library of Bonsai literature.
