As an ASI member, I agree with Cheryl and want to express my thanks to our AIS
resident, a very capable administrator!
On another note, a core group of Region 20 irisarians will be meeting this
aturday, Feb. 11 at the home of Lynda Love. Hopefully our leaderless Region 20
ituation will be resolved then. I will not be in attendance, unfortunately, as
 am having total knee replacement surgery (left knee this time) on Monday,
Feb.
3. With all the appointments and physical therapy I've had to meet, plus some
ecessary work at home, I need at least a couple days of rest before the big
ay. My right knee surgery is scheduled for April 11, so I am sorry to say I
ill not be attending the AIS Convention.
Cheryl, I forwarded your "fundraising opportunity" message to  Region 20
embers. I hope this will prove to be a successful venture.

 Judy,

 I agree 100 percent with your decision.  As we discussed,  Having the Aril
 Society 100 percent responsible for the book is really the only way to go.

 Subject: [AISdiscuss] Auction of Genus Iris Book - A Decision

 I have been reading all of the discussion regarding the auctioning of the
 1913
 edition of "The Genus Iris" by W.R. Dykes at the upcoming AIS Silent
Auction.
 Those who have commented on this issue in the last couple of weeks have been
 agreeable to having the book at the auction, although there have been
 differing
 opinions as to whether AIS should receive a share of the proceeds.
 This book was bequeathed to the Aril Society International with the purpose
 of
 its being sold or auctioned and the proceeds going to that organization. In
 the
 interest of meeting the spirit of that request and providing a venue
 where
 interested irisarians have an opportunity to see the book and bid on
 it, and as
 a side benefit, perhaps drawing more people into the silent
 auction room, I
 believe that there is a very simple way to handle this.
 Therefore, I have made the following decision which I believe will be
 "win-win"
 for both AIS and ASI..

 Space will be provided at the 2012 AIS
 Convention Silent Auction for the Aril
 Society International to hold its own
 auction of this book. Bids will be
 accepted during the regular AIS auction
 hours. The proceeds from the sale of the
 book will belong solely to ASI.
 This decision is contingent on ASI agreeing to provide security for and
 maintaining conrol of the book at all times during the convention and
signing
 a
 hold harmless agreement that covers the AIS and Region 15 of the AIS.
 The decision to allow ASI to hold its own auction in conjunction with the
AIS
 Silent Auction should not be construed as a precedent for future AIS Silent
 Auctions. Similar requests made by other Sections and Cooperating Socities
in
 the future will be reviewed and the decision made by the AIS President based
 on
 the facts and circumstances.
