FUKU-BONSAI & MID-PACIFIC BONSAI FOUNDATION

OCTOBER 2022 UPDATE

            Due to major personal health problems, the Mid-Pacific Bonsai Foundation officers did not meet their fiduciary responsibilities and IRS automatically cancelled the tax-exempt status after no reports were filed for three years.  At a scheduled meeting, they did not attend and David Fukumoto, an original MPBF co-founder (who is also president and founder of Fuku-Bonsai) was elected to be the interim president to reorganize and reinstate the tax-exempt status of the Mid-Pacific Bonsai Foundation.

            The Fukumotos will be donating Fuku-Bonsai shares to make MPBF the largest stockholder to help lead the transition for Fuku-Bonsai to become a "SEMI-NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY BENEFIT CORPORATION"  to refinance and restructure Fuku-Bonsai, and to lead:  "MAKING THE BIG ISLAND AN INTERNATIONAL BONSAI CENTER!" 

            WE INVITE EVERYONE WHO SHARES OUR TRUE INDOOR BONSAI™ INTERESTS AND VALUES TO PARTICIPATE!  Contact:  david.f@fukubonsai.com for more information.
