Re: Section Mini-convention Bulletin coverage

["Jim Morris" <1005@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

"Awfully thin," that is why I have advertised for two issues  for more 
articles.  It has worked to some degree and there will be five  feature articles 
in the fall 2016 issue which is in final layout for an October  10 publish 
date.  However, we still need more participation from our  membership.  
There have to be many stories out there.  Send them to  irises@janemilliman.com. 
 We have discontinued use of the  AISeditor@irises.org as it was erratic 
with several communications not  being forwarded.  Publishing the Bulletin is 
a  balancing act between "required" information from and for the membership 
via the  board, "meaty" features and esthetics of pretty pictures and 
varietal  descriptions.  If you have layout suggestions please make them directly 
to  the editor.  Thank you.  Interesting discussion.

a lot of "space" (large blocks of color with large print  for something that
isn't really necessary, and white space as well.) If we  could get a few 
more
articles, then adding a page with a PAID registration  form would seem to 
be a
WIN WIN for both of us, and I doubt the cost would  be that great.  We need 
to
support other societies, inform our members  of upcoming events, and 
frankly,
the Bulletin has seemed awfully thin the  last few issues.

Good Evening.
The Iris Society of Dallas is  hosting the SLI Convention in April 2017.
Could we purchase an ad for the  Winter & Spring editions of IRIS?

Thank you,

Good afternoon,


I think listing the  section conventions, dates, location and a contact
person is  sufficient.  Most of the attendees are going to be members of  
the
sections already and will obtain their registration forms through  their
sections.
Printing the registration forms in Irises is an  unnecessary expense.


Thanks,


Dwayne Booth

I'm seeking opinions please.

The Bulletin is  all things to all  people in our iris world.  There  is
competition for copy space from a  number of fronts.  We  attempt to provide
publicity and coverage of all  national iris  events, be it the parent
organization or our Sections and   Co-operating Societies.  In the spring of
2017 there
will be   mini-conventions by the Median Iris Society, The Society for
Louisiana  Irises  and the Spuria Iris Society.  I don't believe we  should
devote one-two  pages of Registration and publicity pages for  each Section
in our fall and/or  winter issues but would like your  thoughts and 
opinions.
I think it better  for each to publicize and  print their registration forms
in their own  bulletins.  We are  going to press for an October 10
publish/mail date so need a quick  response.

Thank  you.
