Facebook Milestone

[Robert Pries <robertpries@embarqmail.com>]

Today the AIS Facebook page recieved its 2,000th Friend. Essentially Facebook
is free advertising for the Society. It does come at a cost. Andi Rivarola our
Social Media Manager has spent a great deal of time keeping new pictures up
and interesting topics. Congratulations Andi!!

You may wonder what is the potential for Facebook. The are 2 million people on
Facebook that say they like Gardening. B I suspect many may like Iris also.
The Iris Facebook page is presently seeing less activity, perhaps because so
many people are in their gardens. But aside from the 2,000 friends now,B a
week ago, we were seeing over 3,000 people viewing the AIS page per month. At
the moment we are only seeing about 2,000. If we could have offered
e-membership last week who knows how many new members we would have gotton.
The potential is still enormous.
