Re: ?? about Iris Clubs


1. How much are your club membership dues ?
        $5 single, $7 family

2. Is your club affiliated with the AIS ?
        Yes, we have 40 or so members, most of whom are AIS members also

3. Is AIS membership a requirement for club membership ?
        No, but we encourage members to join AIS

4. Are there any tangible benefits (free iris, discounts, etc.) to
club membership ?

The membership dues are a truly minor part of our budget. Our revenue comes
from member auctions and sales in Aug of bearded iris and in the fall of
beardless irises.

We meet every month except DEC, but some of the meetings are Shows, iris
sales, summer picnic and auction, fall beardless auction. At other meetings we
have programs
        - slide show/talk
        - mini show (practice iris show and judging)
        
Almost every meetings (including shows and sale days) have a doorprize
giveaway by drawing. The club purchases new intro's and selected members grow
them on the first year. 
The assumption is that there will be 2.5 increases on each to giveaway as door
prizes.
