Re: Request for Funding

I agree totally.  Perhaps we should be lining up someone in Oregon and CA to do interviews with those hybridizers sooner than later.  I understood that there was a video of that panel discussion.  Is that not so?  My response was aimed at getting a positive vote by the board, by having specific projects in the works, or planned.

Hi Phyllis,

It certainly would have helped me for my 2022 convention garden interviews.  A little late for my interviews but something like that is an example.

A better example would be to interview some of the hybridizers for posterity.  An example was the most interesting program I remember was at the 2015 Portland Convention when Barry Blyth, Keith Keppel and Joe Ghio gave the program at the Tall Bearded Iris Society.  These guys are legends of the iris world. MIT would have been nice if someone recorded their program.

All three are in their 80’s now.  It would be nice to record each of them for posterity.

It sounds like a very good idea, and I support it.  However, I think it would meet with more approval if it was presented along with some proposed or planned interviews, or projects that could show some more or less immediate need. Just a suggestion.

I would suggest that the request be for $600 to cover initial shipping and the cost of reshipping to the regional volunteers when appropriate.

Thanks

I know our agenda is full. but Madame Presídent suggest I submit this anyway:

As previously outlined I propose that we purchase a set of sound equipment from Saramonic. This kit would include a two broadcasting units consisting of  a clip on microphone box and attached lavalier microphone option, and a receiver unit for for a  high quality DSLR camera with mini plug input.  ($200) In addition I would also purchase 2 receivers for smart phones or other video devices. 1 unit would be a USB-C commotion, the other an Apple “Lighting” connection. ($80 each). This set would cost   a total of $360 + tax.  My Request is a motion for "up to $400 to cover high quality audio equipment for video recording."

This would be used to allow me to work with others to record interviews in person with hybridfizers and others.  I already have my own set.

To make this successful we would need volunteers in various areas of the country to work together to learn how use this equipment and best practices for recording an interview.  This presumes that participants already have a video device and a stabilizing unit such as a tripod.

It is my intention that this becomes a turnkey training opportunity.  Pleas consider becoming involved or recommending someone in your are to participate.  

I will be glad to answer further questions via email or at our next Board of Directors meeting.  to minimize discussion time at our meeting please email questions to this list.
