BCI Encourages You to Come!
By Linda Brant
President, Bonsai Clubs International
Bonsai Clubs International is one of five
sponsors of the 5th World Bonsai Convention and it is our privilege to
support its many activities. Featuring informative demonstrations, lectures and
workshops, this convention has many other activities that are worth your
attendance. Along with exhibits of bonsai, suiseki and pots, there will be
critiques, the Joshua Roth New Talent Competition sponsored by the American
Bonsai Society and a huge vendor area.
In addition, there will be benefit drawings, silent
auctions and live auctions. A commemorative pot and a convention book will also
be available. Many social opportunities to make and renew bonsai and suiseki
friendships are also scheduled. Register now or learn more about the convention
online (www.bonsai-wbff.org) or link through the BCI web site.
BCI will be presenting its awards at the
Monday night banquet. The Ben Oki International Design Award, the CertreŽAward
International 2005, the Pedro J. Morales Tropical Bonsai Design Award, the
Ismail Saleh Award 2004 and the Bonsai On Line Magazine Suiseki Award will all
be announced. The annual delegate and general meetings of BCI will also be
scheduled during the convention.
Join us in Washington, DC, from May 28-31, 2005.
