Next SABS Meeting

Feb 10, 2024
Annual Potluck & Bonsai Bingo
6pm
LA Arboretum- Palm Room

President’s Corner

Our first meeting of the new year will be February 10 at 6pm in the Palm Room at the Arboretum.
We are starting early to facilitate our annual potluck dinner followed by an exciting evening of Bonsai Bingo.
For the potluck dinner the club will supply the main dish (El Pollo Loco Chicken) and water.
We ask that everyone bring their favorite appetizer, salad or dessert to fill out our potluck table.

We have played Bonsai Bingo in the past, and it was entertaining an fun.
Everyone in attendance will get a bingo card, and additional cards will be available for purchase.
We ask that you bring a bonsai-related item for the table that you would like to win: trees, pots, tools, soil etc.
More items mean more fun for all.

This meeting will also serve as our annual membership drive.
We can take cash or checks for membership at our still low price of $20 for individuals and $25 for families.
Please renew or join for the first time to support the club.

I hope everyone had an opportunity to attend the Baikoen Winter Silhouettes Show in January.
I saw many of you at the Saturday reception; always a great event
