| The first issue of our Enewsletter - and we're every bit as surprised as you are! It turned out to be fairly easy to do, but it did take lots of time to set up. This is our first attempt at managing web pages, and it can only get better from here out. So be patient while we learn the ropes, make changes and add new features from time to time. We will try to adhere to the K.I.S.S. principle, as usual (Keep It Simple, Stupid) - to make the pages fast and easy to view for members who use dial-up modems. So you won't find as many bells and whistles as you might expect on a full-fledged web site - no music, chimes, or tiny comic figures racing continuously across the page. We think you'll find plenty to enjoy in this issue anyway. To reach the other pages and subjects, click on the Links at left. For questions or comments, click on the Webmaster button at the bottom of this page and fire away. The passwords to enter this web site will be changed monthly and sent via email to all MBS members whose dues are paid up! You may print out any or all of the pages on your own printer - we suggest printing out any text pages you need, and viewing the color picture pages on-screen. Each month's newsletter will be archived, so you can always go back for reference if needed. Special thanks to Ardell Narveson who covered all of the Colin Lewis activities with her digital camera - just for this first issue of the electronic newsletter! |

| Whether you plan to sell a few bonsai articles or are in the market to buy some - come to the Auction Meeting on Tuesday evening October 5th for the Fall Auction and Sale. Previewing of all items starts by 7:00 PM and bidding in the regular auction begins at 7:30. Here's your chance to pick up good stuff you've always wanted, and lots of them at low-low prices. There are usually things that someone brought all the way from some far-off state (saving you a trip!). And there are sure to be trees, finished bonsai or raw material, that are being sold because the owners ran out of storage space. This truly is the time to look for bonsai bargains. |
| October 5 is Big Fall Auction Night! |
| Will you be selling? Bring pots you don't need (new or used) - small ones can be grouped in a box for one price. Books, show stands, viewing stones, and of course, bonsai plant material at any stage of development. Sellers: carefully read the rules in this issue. You must come BEFORE 7:00 to have your "stuff" checked-in and arranged in the proper area.. There will be the regular auction (on the stage), the silent auction tables, and retail sale tables. On retail sales, the club doesn't take 10% of the sale price as on the auction items. So decide how you want to sell, and be sure to fill out your description cards ahead of time and bring them along (see Auction page).. |
