Nancy Green first president passes away
GREEN Nancy Green, age 73, of Upper Arlington, died on November 19, 2011 at her home. She was a 1955 honors gradate of Paschal High School in Fort Worth, Texas.

Seeking ideas for our 40th Year
The Board is always seeking ideas for what would interest people at monthly meetings, but we especially want to make this a banner year as we celebrate our 40th anniversary in February. Currently we have Frank Mihalic coming back in March to work on the club taxus for a demo, and Andy Smith of Golden Arrow bonsai coming in April to work on collected trees with us. However, we always need ideas for meetings, and if you are interested in moderating any particular topic that is a bonus for us.
Looking for new Bonsai Show venue for 2012!
Due to the demolition of our previous show location (Mannerchoir in German Village), we are looking for a new venue to host our show. Check out our Galleries section to see previous show photos. We would like an indoor facility with adequate lighting and parking and free admission for visitors of the show.
Please email us at columbusbonsai@hotmail.com if you have some place in mind.
