We were founded in the Autumn of 1962 by the efforts of twelve individuals: Paul Matsusaki (†), Edna Matsusaki, Leroy Fujii (†) , Mary Bretlinger, Alice Feffer (†) , Chet Hutchinson, Edward Jacobson (†) , Bill Jamieson, Margaret Julian, Joan McCarter, Harry Roark (†), and David Wright (†) . Elsie Andrade, who joined the group during its first few months and is still very much a part of our activities, is also considered a founding member.
This society was one of the first twenty such clubs formed outside of Asia. Our objectives have always been:
- to study, foster and encourage the enjoyment of the art of Bonsai,
- to assemble and make available information on the culture of Bonsai,
- to promote the collection and exhibition of Bonsai,
- to acquaint Bonsai fanciers with each other.
