Notes
- Ohio Learning was thin relative to clubs there. Fri Oct 23 took WA / DE / DC.
- Finn flag (registration host): the dated class lives on Dawes’s Blackbaud ticketing host (
53050.blackbaudhosting.com), not on a standalonedawesarb.org/events/...HTML page. The adults-groups page points people to the calendar for upcoming programs. This is Dawes’s own ticket system (not a third-party Eventbrite-only listing). A site search for “bonsai” on dawesarb.org did not surface this November 14 session in the HTML results crawled on 2026-10-26. - Prefer this dated workshop over one-off talks when possible; materials and a tree are included.
