Re: [AISdiscuss] Calendars

[John I Jones <jijones@usjoneses.com>]

Well seeing as I am still a board member until the Fall meeting:

I would say that doing a direct mailing is  counter to our adopted 
policies as I remember them. I would not be in favor of making an 
exception - Pandora's Box so to speak.

An advertisement in the AIS bulletin would go to the same audience in 
an acceptable way. Surely this was considered before?
