[GLBS] ABS BCI 2011 Conference Planning

Bonsai News

by John Callaway


In June 2011 the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society will be hosting a joint American Bonsai Society (ABS) and Bonsai Clubs International (BCI) Learning Seminar and Conference.* Plans are currently underway.* We’ve started off well, but there’s still plenty of work left to be done.

One of the things outstanding is to name the conference.* The ABS Learning Seminar in 2007 was dubbed “Bonsai on the Beach” as it was held in Virginia Beach, literally on the beach.* We have decided to hold a contest for the Greater Louisville Bonsai Society to suggest a name.* Please have entries submitted to me in email or phone by Tuesday, April 8th.* Voting will be held at the upcoming planning meeting.

There is a planning meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 9th, at Earl Cormney’s house from 7pm – 8pm.* Please RSVP by Tuesday, April 8th, for directions.* I hope that everyone interested in leading a committee or joining a committee will attend.* If you are not able to attend but would like to join or lead a committee or share ideas, please let me know.


The proposed agenda for the meeting is:


Vote on a name for the conference
Nominate and name committee chairpersons
Develop a list of vendors to submit for approval
Develop a list of instructors to submit for approval
Develop a list of donors to submit for approval

Below you will find a proposed list of committees. If you have any experience with a specific field or any interest in helping with a particular group, please let us know.* Proposed committees include:

Publicity/Advertising
Registration/Hospitality
Auction/Raffle
Exhibit
Instructors/Vendors
