Tomodachi means friends!
Calling for entries to a friendly styling battle of the bands
The character 友 (tomo) of tomodachi means “friend.”
Everyone's friend, Mel Ikeda, invites you join with friends to style bonsai.
Enter the Tomodachi 2023 challenge here.
Participants will gather at the plaza to style bonsai together on Saturday
from noon - 2:00 pm.
GSBF supplies the wire. Bring your own tree(s) to work on, or purchase your
material at the Bonsai Rendezvous from one of our vendors.
The styled trees will be donated to GSBF for the silent auction on Saturday.
Help GSBF fund future projects while having fun with your friends. In 2021,
Tomodachi generated $5000 thanks to our participants and bidders!
Pre-register and get a special Tomodachi cap during Rendezvous as Mel’s gift to you.
If you are unable to commit to joining the group, consider donating
$50 to GSBF. Please indicate “Tomodachi” in the memo line of your check and mail to: GSBF PO Box 340694, Sacramento, CA 95834.
