Call for Auction and Sale Trees

From George Haas

Hello Nor Cal GSBF Member Clubs,

The Annual Mammoth Auction and Sale is scheduled for February 17 and 18, 2024, in support of the GSBF Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt, Oakland.

BGLM is in the process of accepting quality auction and sale trees and related bonsai items as donations and consignments.

Point of contact is George Haas, Mammoth Chair, at gwhaas@comcast.net.

All auction items must be received by January 6th in order to be photographed and included in the auction catalog.

Online registering of volunteers will be using Sign Up Genius app. Last year, 54% of all volunteer dates/times and shifts were made online. Sign Up Genius app will be available on or about December 1st.

Thank you for supporting the BGLM fundraiser.

Regards,
George 🌳
