RE: Auction of Genus Iris Book - A Decision/Region 20

Betty,
Please advise me ASAP when the board of Region 20 has been decided.  I need to
get the information to the AIS Board.  Thanks and good luck tomorrow.  I will
keep you in my prayers.
Cheryl

Saturday, Feb. 11 at the home of Lynda Love. Hopefully our leaderless Region
20 situation will be resolved then. I will not be in attendance,
unfortunately, as I am having total knee replacement surgery (left knee this
time) on Monday, Feb. 13. With all the appointments and physical therapy I've
had to meet, plus some necessary work at home, I need at least a couple days
of rest before the big day. My right knee surgery is scheduled for April 11,
so I am sorry to say I will not be attending the AIS Convention.
