Message from Frank Mihalic, the 2nd generation Bonsai Master from The United States

Frank Mihalic, the current President of Bonsai Club International (BCI)

I have been an active member of the BCI board for more than 10 years. I am very passionate about getting our young people interested in bonsai. My book "Bonsai for Kids" is soon to be released in 10 languages. I am trying to get everyone in the bonsai world to make a real effort to get kids involved with bonsai.

Message from Dato Pui Khiang Khang, seating presenting of MBSS,

message to bid the 10th WBC.

Finally, this is my personal appeal.
Even the life of a bonsai is older than me. So, bonsai must be passed on to the next generation to
preserve the life in the tray. This is important.
Please, give me a chance so that I can show to my granddaughter/ grandson the beauty of bonsai art.
