Re: Come to my party at the AIS Convention!

Kelly,
 
I'm sorry we will not be able to attend your reception. My wife
injured her knee last summer and can not do the walking and standing tht goes
along with garden tours, so we will not be attending the convention this year.
Thank you for the invitation.
 
Also, would you please correct the spelling
for my name in the bulletin. My first name is Harold, not Howard. Thanks
again.

Subject: [AISdiscuss] Come to my party at the AIS Convention!

Dear friends
and colleagues,



It's my pleasure to invite you, your significant others,
and friends to a
special party during the AIS convention sponsored by Timber
Press
celebrating the release of my book A Guide to Bearded Irises due out
next
month.  The reception will take place Thursday, April 19 from 6:30 p.m.
to
8:30 p.m. in the Grove Room of the DoubleTree.  There will be food stations
that include chicken quesadillas, assorted cheese and crackers, grilled
veggies, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus and a bar station featuring red and
white California wines as well as assorted sodas.  



We'll have 40 advance
copies of the book on hand especially for this event,
ensuring that the iris
world has a chance to purchase it prior to the
general public release in
mid-May.  I will be signing books throughout the
evening and will make some
short remarks at 7:00 p.m. to thank many of you
for your contributions to the
project.  Though the event does overlap the
SIGNA program and Judges'
Training, I hope you'll come say hello.  We'll be
raffling off gift
certificates to new introductions from my family's Rainbow
Iris Farm and Stout
Gardens as well.

there!
