Howie; I love your idea of a Powerpoint and I am delighted the Jim & Jean already have something put together. I do not know why I never thought about a Powerpoint. I have been thinking for a long time about a booklet for new members, “A User’s Guide to AIS”. Currently we send out “Basic Iris Culture” to new members. But many clubs already buy BIC for sale at their Sales and Auctions. Often a new member winds up with two copies. It seems to me a user’s guide could get a new member more excited and point them to AIS’s many resources. I can imagine headings like How to Have a show, How to show an Iris, How to become a judge, How to have a display Garden, how to organize a garden tour, How to find information on the Encyclopedia, What to do and see at conventions, etc. Certainly I think both a Powerpoint presentation and such a booklet could be developed hand in hand. Sadly, though I have presented this idea before there was never much encouragement to do this. I hope we can get the Powerpoint fully developed.

Ok,
Ok, looked it from work (Cheryl knows what that means).
Two things it needs is a slide on membership with how to join and a few slides talking about the AIS National Convention and about the activities and garden tours. I know for some members that is a BIG highlight.
I'll add to it for my presentation, but this is a very good start.

Wayne,
You're the best. When I get home I'll look at it. If there is nothing specific to the conventions I'll want to add that.

I just realized that I made this a few years back, and shared it with Jim Morris.
I could adapt it or change it if need be.
