Instead of wasting time it could simply be
amended to include the first purchase.

Binders
Hello all,
In response to Jill's email we are currently not set up to handle
"calling the question" on any motion via email. I would suggest that we bring
this matter up for discussion at the next board meeting. Additionally, we
could also address the issue of only allowing one motion to be considered at a
time.
The current motion presented by Bob Pries, and seconded by
Rita Gormley, states: "That AIS offer Magazine binders for the
bulletin."
It is scheduled to go to vote on March 24. If
Bob Pries wishes to withdraw his motion he can second Jill's proposed motion
which states:
"That the AIS purchase an initial order of
200 Binders according to the bid obtained by Bob Pries from Rogers Looseleaf (
$5.45 each including a $150 setup charge plus $.85 each for a shipping box).
Storefront to sell the binders for $12 including
shipping."
I have specifically mentioned Bob Pries since he
would have to withdraw his original motion before Jill's can be entertained.
He could immediately second Jill's motion at that time. If the new motion is
seconded the "clock" will start anew. If we let the original motion go to vote
than Jill's motion can not be presented until March 31.

If there is a motion on the floor to buy the AIs Bulletin Binders, I call
the question.
If there is NOT a motion about this I make the following motion,
That the AIS purchase an initial order of 200 Binders according to the
bid obtained by Bob Pries from Rogers Looseleaf ( $5.45 each including a
$150 setup charge plus $.85 each for a shipping box). Storefront to
sell the binders for $12 including shipping.

The Daylily Society offers a coupon with a membership, new, renewal, or
upgrade. The coupon is honred by nuseries that wish to do so and on the
nurseries own terms. This gives the members a discount but
also drives business to those that honor it. It means the member can
shop to see what they think is the best value and the nursery can make
sure an order placed does not loose them money and perhaps gains extra
business. I have been suggesting to several people that we really could
use an Iris nurserymans forum that could make suggestions to the board
that could help with programs that are good for the nursery and also good
for AIS. An additional thought was that considering the amount of fraud on
the internet that if this cosortium of nurseryman could agree to a code of
ethics that AIS could promote those Iris growers that subscribed to the
code.

I like the idea
of âAIS member discountâ. From the storefront?
Iâve been trying
to figure out how to do an âAIS member discountâ thru my catalog but it
means checking each membership?
Thereâs got to be
an easier way.

All good questions,
hope to have some answers soon. I do like the idea of preorders. I suspect
the first hundred could go quickly but I am just guessing that the last
might be around for awhile. Since the Market would indicate a value of
these to be $20 each I would suggest pricing them at that, and if we
wanted to give a discount for preorders, or for members, or for the first
year, whatever, we could do that. But establishing what they are normally
worth is important. I would suggest that if we have a reasonable
price we could pay for a large part of the purchase immediately.
Establishing a price is tricky because you want it fair but still making
some profit.

I'm all in favor of these binders, and
thanks to Bob for obtaining the info and a
bid.
I do think we need to have these in the
Storefront before the convention.
1) Is there a shipping charge from this
company to the AIS Storefront, or is shipping
included?
2) Is there an estimate of mailing charge
from the Storefront to individual
purchasers?
3) Does the Storefront have sufficient
storage space for 200 binders initially?
4) Would it be possible to take pre-orders
once we have a firm price that includes mailing, so that part
of the investment in the first shipment of binders is quickly
replaced, and number kept on hand reduced? Or is
that more trouble than its worth?

Magazine Binders
I surfed the
internet for magazine binders and all the publishers I found
offering these get them from the same source and are very
satisfied with that company. That firm, Rogers Looseleaf
provided me with a bid for 200 binders. They would be dark blue
with gold printing saying: The American Iris Society, Quarterly
Bulletin and the insignia of AIS printed on the spine. There would
be a one time charge of $150 for creating the dye. Each unit cost
would be $5.45. If we desire cardboard shipping boxes individually
packed they are an additional $0.85 each
It is true that
we have a budget crunch. But we have also put into place measures
to compensate. We will only increase membership by providing the
services expected of a 21st century organization. Efforts are
being made to get us there. It is true this is a minor issue. But
then again if we can not offer services like this for fear of
loosing money than what products can we sell that can bring in
money? I believe this is a modest investment in inventory and
could potential make a few bucks.

Ok, would somebody stick a dollar sign on
these things?
Are there options?
I'm sure that quantity
plays a role.
Yes, we have to charge enough to get us out of
trouble quickly.
