Re: Motion to approve Calendar Guidelines

["George and Janet Smith" <4f80107e1@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

Jim Morris and his committee chose September and October for Rebloomers I
was not in on the conversation to know why.  John Ludi and I chose
September and it really does not matter what month we place a reblooming
iris photo - as long as there is representation.

The pumpkin idea was from Robert Pries.

Let us focus on the guidelines.  The rest can be worked out by the
Calendar Committee.

Yes, we do take suggestions.

Thank you,
Janet Smith
Calendar Chair
