Our April 5th meeting will be four groups of members creating four different forests (two with Trident Maples, two with Dawn Redwoods), and since we all watched Warren Hill's forest-creation videos at the March meeting, we know exactly what to do!  So - in the words of Program Chairperson Glenda Jungquist,  "We want YOU to be part of the process -- all folks interested in learning and experiencing how to make a forest will be encouraged to take part!"

Come around 7:00 to watch (and help with) the setup if you like. A few announcements at 7:30, and then the show begins!
Bring a finished forest of your own for show 'n' tell, and get a free raffle ticket!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are harboring any type of club equipment (show or workshop materials, plants, books, machines, electronics, any category at all) - the board wants to know Who Has What.   So check your brain, your memory, your basement, your garage - and if you find anything that is MBS property, please notify President Bob Hampel.  THANKS!
These three forests were displayed at our 2004 Minnesota State Fair bonsai show.
