Hey Group,

I honestly tried to post this earlier, but I don't see it. :-( Chris has
since joined the list, but if there is anyone closer to him that can help,
please feel free.

Hi,
I am interested in joining a bonsai club. I have been a victim of the mass
produced bonsai in the past. I have owned about 6 of them and they all
dried up and died within weeks of purchase. I haven't tried to buy another
one in about 6 years, but I love bonsai. I have been reading up on them,
but I would feel better if I knew someone with experience that could help
me. I talked to a lady at our local Barnes and Noble (while purchasing a
bonsai book) and she told me of a club in Broome County, NY, but I haven't
been able to locate them or find any information on them. I can't even find
the lady that told me about them. I would love to be able to get into their
club, because it is local and if I ever had any problems or questions about
a tree, it would be easier for them to see it first hand and offer help. I
would also love to join your club as well. Please email me any information
to join and if you know of the club in Broome County, NY please let me know.
I live in Endwell, NY if that helps.
Thank You,
Chris Solo
