Re: AIS Photo Contest, award rhizomes, shipping overseas

[Jill Bonino <aistreas@earthlink.net>]

Hi Kitty,

I like both choices---choice #1 to let them order an iris to be shipped to them with AIS paying the bill--or choice #2 we give them a one-yr membership to AIS or a one-year extension.   A one-year overseas membership is $30 and the shipping/phyto (if we do it) could be that much...However, if we let the winner order their own rhizome it could be more than that...

If the winner decided to order their own rhizome could we limit the order to $30 US Dollars?
