I wish  to make a point about AIS calendars. Right now, the 2007 calendar   
should be in distribution and the 2008 calendar should be in production.  If  
the 
affiliates do not have the next year calendar in hand when  they have their  
shows and sales, the main purpose of the calendar is  subverted. And AIS 
loses  
the opportunity to make many sales. This is  just good business. 

I love the small AIS calendar. One always hangs on  our kitchen wall. I give  
the calendars to my neighbors, barber, bank  and others as small Christmas 
gifts.  I send the calendar with my  Christmas cards to many of my overseas 
friends. Our  calendars can  make friends for AIS. I hope that work on the 
2008 
calendar can   begin SOON. I want to be able to buy it in January or February 
of 
2007.  And  the affiliates do too, or at least they should.  Clarence

Clarence & all,
 
When I ran a retail calendar store at a major St. Louis Mall, we began  
stocking next year calendars in September for sales beginning October 1.   By far 
our biggest sales month was December.  We handled thousands of  different 
calendars with maybe 30-50 being horticulture related.  Cats,  dogs, Dilbert,  and 
Kincaid art were the big sellers here and throughout  the U.S. in our chain's 
multiple locations.
