Terry,
   
  Sounds good to me -- no risk to AIS and possibility of some gain.  You have my vote.

  Hi Again everybody.
Turner would like to have a signed agreement this week if possible. I 
should be ready to send photos this week if we get the agreement taken 
care of. Unlike last year, this year we are a "known quantity" to each 
other. I think the whole process will go much smoother. I will summarize 
the agreement.
-There will be no financial risk to AIS.
-Publisher to pay 10% royalty to AIS based on a retail price of $12.95 
(+$3.95 shipping)
-Publisher to creat promotional pieces for advertizing in AIS news 
sources(bulletin) and to promote pre-publication orders(@40% discount)
-Publisher to market the calendars through outside channels -on-line 
retailers, specialty calendar retailers and targeted retailers.
-Publisher to retain publishing rights , AIS to retain copyright to 
published material.
-Publisher to do layout with approval of AIS rep.
-AIS to appoint representative to review and approve calendar project.
-AIS to assist in promotion of the calendar by newsletters, website 
link, and press releases from time to time.
-AIS to allow promotional pieces to its members after calendar has been 
published.
Last year , we balked at sending a mailer to members and, instead, 
sent a mailer to the affiliates.
Last year, we did not have a link to the website. (I think I was getting 
nervous about the late delivery)
Barring serious objections from the board, I will sign this agreement 
Thursday night and mail photos over the weekend. Photos used will not 
identify the cultivar other than Medal winners. AIS website will be 
prominantly dislayed on the calendar.
