We had a good meeting last month to discuss the progress for the ABS/BCI Bonsai in the Bluegrass 2011 planning.  Not all committee chairs were in attendance.  We need to make sure that at the very least all chairs are present at each planning meeting.  If you are unable to attend please let me know and be sure to send someone in your place.  This is the first major bonsai convention/seminar in the Louisville area and it will take a lot of work from each and every club member.  If you have not yet volunteered and wish to do so, please let me know as soon as possible. 

Some club members were not going to be able to meet the July 17th deadline for logo design submission.  In order to accommodate everyone’s busy schedule the deadline has been extended to Tuesday, September 9th.  Please contact me to submit logo ideas.  We're all looking forward to seeing the great ideas you have.

There will be another planning meeting in October.  All committee chairs are expected to attend.  Details about this meeting will be in the September newsletter.
