Elaine Sugasawara - Club Secretary

I started my bonsai journey in October 2019 when I purchased 2 trees from the Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai.  I proceeded to kill one of them and decided I better join the club in 2021.  I became the assistant editor of the newsletter in 2022 and then the editor in 2023.  I joined the SCBK board in 2023 as the secretary.  I realized early on that I should have started my journey many years ago, but you start when you start and am enjoying my journey and continuing to learn.
