Re: In Search of old VHS tapes related to Iris

Look in you own VHS library for the kind of tapes Janet speaks of; bring up the quest at you local Affiliate meeting and ask any folks who have such tapes to contact Janet or me or any of you receiving this on AISDiscuss to let us know about any tapes that exist and to allow us to contact the owners and discuss converting the tapes into DVDs -- also --don't forget to put historic tape "want ads" in your Affiliate or Region Newsletters.

SO WHAT'S IN YOUR CLOSET?
by Janet Smith -- AIS Slides Chair

It has come to the attention of this Committee Chair that we are
missing an
opportunity that if not mentioned soon will become an opportunity
missed.

So I ask, What's in your closet? Do you have VHS tapes collecting
dust that
just might have something of interest to the American Iris Society.
Hybriziders giving a program? Folks gone by that were caught on tape
at a Convention etc. We, the AIS Slides and Digital Programs
committee, would like to have those tapes.

What are we going to do with them, you ask! Convert them to DVD and
hope to
have some very interesting programs to share before they are lost.

This all came about in a recent conversation with Jeanne Plank and
the more I
thought about it the more important it became to bring it to the
attention of
all who just might have taped and set aside VHS tapes that if we
don't get them now will be gone forever.

So how about beginning your Spring Cleaning now, and, ship them to
your AIS
Slides Chair - me!
