Re: Charging for AIS Shows

[bobplankmail@aol.com]

The AIS articles of incorporation say simply,

"education of the public through exhibitions, public display gardens, published standards for judging, and local, area, regional and national meetings open to the public."? Article II (c), emphasis added.

If Gerry is correct than I guess we need to file this one under urban myth. 
Unfortunately I have heard from several people that they felt they could not 
hold a show in the prefered venue because of their perception of this rule. I am 
ashamed that I was not able to correct them since we might have had a few more 
productive shows.

As for Missouri Botanical Garden. As Jim mentioned they do charge admission. But 
the entrance to the bookstore, auditorium and exhibit areas are not within the 
garden proper and I have always assumed that one did not need to pay to enter 
them.

Perhaps these posts will enlighten others that are misinformed like myself.

As long as the show is free, it is okay.

The venue can charge.
