Re: [AISdiscuss] Turner Publishing agreement

[<info@suttoniris.com>]

We have been on vacation.  Here are George's comments on the calendar 
subject:

1) AIS calendars need to at least break even.
2) 10% from Turner is at least money in the bank.
3) I wouldn't buy a rose bulletin to read all their business.  I would 
however buy one with articles and pictures on newer and future roses.
4) These should be items to discuss in Portland.  I'm leaning towards all 
three ways.
