The Calendar committee should consist of a chairman appointed by the AIS president and a minimum of three other members, one of whom is a member of the AIS Board (officer or director) and one of whom is the Manager of the AIS Storefront. Additional committee members may be added at the discretion of the committee chair.

The Quote must be submitted to the AIS Board by the AIS Storefront manager at the fall Board of Director’s meeting the year prior to the calendar going to press.

The Calendar is to be sent to printers no later than February 1st. The calendars must be in the hands of the AIS Storefront no later than March 1st of any given year.

(Garden pictures often have other flowers as well as irises. Companion plantings are of great interest to a lot of gardeners. As long as pictures are predominantly of Irises they should be acceptable for the calendar.)
