That is great news Robert! 

I will add that if an affiliate thinks it will help I can allow them 
to use the slide presentation "Iris Gardens" that was donated by Jill 
Bonino as a tool to show at events to help gather new members. 

The fee would still be $5 shipping the difference is they can hold 
onto it for say 3 months rather than return promptly. 

Now I can do this because I have several copies and not as many are 
being checked out at the moment. 

Florida-Georgia Iris Society is trying this and has had success so 
far.
