JULY 2000 - Our first Auction -
A great night!
The committee decided that members could benefit from an
'inside' auction. That is, an auction for members, by members, of any
unwanted bonsai goodies in their collection. Fifty items ranging from
trees, stock, pots, books and magazines. Tools and Suiseki were put
under the hammer also.

President Brad was our Auctioneer for the night.

year. Over $2000 was spent by members!

As always, someone has to work out the finances.
The club kept 10 percent of proceeds taken.

The president was hopeful that this Suiseki and
stand might have been his, but
unfortunately....
