International Bonsai Magazine publisher Bill Valavanis has suffered the loss of his home and much of his business to a terrible fire. Bill and his family are all safe but surely it will take a lot of time, effort and financial support to get him back up to speed. It goes without saying Bill has been a very influential figure in American bonsai. There is no doubt that either thru the publication of International Bonsai or his many workshops and events we have all learned many things about the art and craft of bonsai.

The entire auction proceeds will go to Bill along with the best wishes and acknowledgements of the winning bidder.
