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.

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!
