Thanks Janet; Enthusiasm like yours is what has turned this society around.

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.
