From the President
Shows
K and the Board of Directors have set 2 goals for our club in 2012. We
would like to once again participate in the San Francisco Cherry Blossom
Festival, held each spring. We would have a small display at the festival
of 3-5 trees. Then in Fall of 2012, we would like to hold our own club
show. Preparing our trees for a show is something that takes 6-8 months
(or more), so the time to start things about these events is now!
