The attached PDF is from Kelvin Cooper (kcooper@kcpharmaconsulting.site) who is offering an extensive collection of Bonsai trees for sale. Kelvin says: “My wife, Margie, and I are planning to move to Georgia in 2017 and, since the climate is a little colder in the winter, I will be parting with many of my trees! I have put together a brochure of the trees that I would like to sell and have annotated the brochure with “asking prices” that reflect the potential retail value of the trees. Realizing that I am unlikely to get the full retail value, I am open to reasonable offers on the trees and can provide full notes on their history for the time that I have owned them.”
The August meeting main program will highlight judging techniques and what judges look for.

The main program will be from 11 to 12. Learning how to judge a tree. Bring a tree that is “finished” or fully wired and styled. Each member will receive a critique sheet and 5 minutes to score a tree. A discussion of the tree and the judging will follow. We will move through each tree the same way.
