Letter from the President

Dear TBS Members,

Its practically September and that means its time for a new session for the club. The Executive is working hard to bring a year full of great meeting we believe all of us will enjoy and benefit from. But, the Executive could use a couple of volunteers to fill some key positions. We are looking to find a Journal Editor, a Librarian and someone to help with tools sales Please speak with anyone of the Exceutive if your are interested.

Our first meeting is on Monday September 12, 2011. The beginner's session is at 6:30 upstairs in the studios where John Biel will be leading a critique. The general meeting begins at 7:30 in the Garden Hall, and there will be a workshop and a demo on boxwood. The club has acquired 9 nursery stock boxwood, 1 of which will be demo'd for the members who are not taking part in the workshop, another 8 trees are available on a first come first serve basis for $60. Please bring your money to the meeting and see Cheryl and Linda to sign up. Check out the attached pictures to see an average example of the available trees. As a size reference a ruler 15 inches in length was placed next to the tree. Also, don't forget that just because you didn't buy a tree, it doesn't mean you can't bring one of your own to work on or put on the side table for all to enjoy!

September is also the time to renew your membership. So bring your money and your completed form to the meeting and Cheryl and Linda will be glad to renew your membership for you. But, don't forget the completed form, it will ensure things go a little quicker.

Looking ahead, we have David Easterbrook visiting in October where he will be giving a demo at our general meeting on Monday October 17 upstairs in the studio. Also, there is still one spot available for the “bring your own” tree workshop on Tuesday October 18th. The price is $120 for 8 hours with David Easterbrook. October is also the month we hold our Fall Show which is being held on Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th. So be sure to get your trees looking their best, and bring them in for exhibit.

See you at the meeting,

Keith Oliver
