It happened to me too - it must be a glitch of some kind?

I still believe the photo contest chair has authority to do what they feel is best and that it is only a curtesy to inform the board of what they are thinking. I suppose not much has changed from the original post, but it was a shock to see it come up again as if I had just posted it. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robert Pries" <robertpries@embarqmail.com> > To: aisdiscuss@aisboard.org > Sent: Tuesday, September 8, 2009 12:03:52 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern > Subject: Re: [AISdiscuss] AIS Photo Contest, award rhizomes, shipping overseas > > My computer has been down for about 4 weeks but I back and catching up slowly on e-mails. I believe every committee has a budget allotted and if the photo committee has not greatly exceeded that budget their should be no need for a vote of the board on $30. I think a membership extension seems like a good plan, I assume some money had been already allotted for prizes so changing to a year membership does not seem like an unreasonable switch, especially since shipping overseas is a hassle and done properly the phytosanitary certificate would be $25 itself let alone the shipping and the cost of a plant. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "K.
