Past Meeting

Saturday, May 3rd
Round House at the San Diego Safari Park

Join us at the San Diego Safari Park for the May meeting, picnic, and silent auction. You should have already RSVP'ed for the event so we will have an accurate count for tables and chairs and have the correct number of Safari Park admittance for those without a zoo membership or pavilion volunteer badge (the club does pay for admittance so please use your membership or badge if you have one).

Patrick O'Brien and Barbara French-Lee will be at the Safari Park's main entrance from 8:45 until 10:00 with the list of SDBC members who have signed up for the day or who have called and confirmed.  They will issue the entrance tickets.

For SDBC members driving:  Notify the parking attendants at the parking kiosk that you are attending the Bonsai Club function and you will not be charged for parking.  Proceed to the front main entrance for your passes from Patrick and Barbara.

For those members requesting shuttle: After entering the front gate, proceed to the Ranger Station/Administration Building (near the large restroom area) and ask for the cart to take you to the Bonsai Pavilion/Round House function.

Remember to bring:
  • food and drink for the picnic
  • items to donate for the silent auction fundraiser
  • checks or cash to bid in the auction fundraiser
  • comfortable walking shoes, sun hats, sunglasses

The Round House is located next to and below/behind the Bonsai Pavilion.  The park will provide signage as you approach the Bonsai Pavilion.  We will have tables and chairs inside the Round House for our meeting and eating.  There will be long tables for the auction items on the shady side of the Round House. There are restroom facilities adjacent to the round house.  

Bonsai Pavilion volunteers will be available in the Bonsai Pavilion for guided tours of the collection and work area.  They will have their red Safari Park shirts and name tags so all SDBC members and guests can identify them.
