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.

you
there!
