Text Box:   Elm bonsai have the ability to do the greatest thing a plant can do for a bonsai artist, they look just like a large tree in the landscape. Scale is important for the bonsai artist. Most Elm leaves reduce easily.  I could go on and on about the great reasons to do Elm bonsai but Leo Fortner will do it better at the April Meeting .  Leo will bring  different  Elm species  and I’m sure some great Elm bonsai to show all the great elements of Elm as a species to be used for bonsai. 
  If you have a Elm species, Elm bonsai or Elm in any stage of development bring it to the April ACBS meeting for a show and tell session on Elm Bonsai. 
  We have lots to cover at the meeting so please read over this newsletter and take note of all the upcoming shows we will have in the gulf coast area.

Text Box: The West Mobile Regional Library Show
    April 30
Text Box: This will be our first public show for the 2005 year. The West Mobile Regional Library has lots and lots of foot traffic every day. The also has a great front entrance set deep back with the second floor serving as a roof. We will set up under the “front porch” with both tables and our podiums.  We will be show Text Box: ready a bit after 9:A.M. Saturday morning and stay until about 5:30 P.M.  This will be a show to tell the public about bonsai, get the message out that we have a bonsai society in Mobile and just enjoy meeting lots of great people and a few just so-so folk.  It’s been very nice to see all the new faces at Text Box: the last two meetings.  This show and our hand out could help our chances to build our membership.
