GCBS NOVEMBER 2017 NEWSLETTER, VOL. #17, ISSUE #11 1 President’s Message Hello Gold Coast Bonsai! Auction Results We had a great auction last month! Between the silent auction and regular auction items, the club took in over $650! I want to thank everyone who participated in the auction as a vendor or buyer, and special thanks to those who helped organize/run the event. November Program This month we will host Dorothy Schmidt, a professional bonsai artist from southwest Florida with a bring your own tree workshop, followed by a critique of members’ display trees. (As you recall, Dorothy was originally scheduled for our August meeting but had to cancel.) Dorothy is a member of the Bonsai Society of Southwest Florida and has been studying bonsai in the U.S. since 2002. She has a knack for junipers and conifers, the focus of this month’s meeting. However, she has been living in south Florida, so she is also well-versed in tropical bonsai as well. In addition to working with junipers and conifers, Dorothy is also very adept with carving tools, and has been presented the Ben Oki award in 2006, among many others. Holiday Party on Nov. 11 at 6 pm Thirsty for more bonsai? You're in luck! Later that same night we will have a special holiday party hosted at Bob Wertz. Please see invitation below for more details. Please call if there are any questions. If you need directions to Bob’s house, please text him at (954) 730- 7824. Thank you!
