Certainly not for the rest of the season, but most of us get (very)
temporarily saturated.

In general, all meetings are open to everyone. Attendance and even
participation are encouraged. If you are not a member of whatever, you
will not be able to make a motion or vote, but that is the only
limitation. The only exception I know of is that a very small part,
typically an hour or so, of the AIS board meeting is "in executive
session" which is limited to voting board members. This is for
discussions of and votes for things like the Hybridizers Medal and the
next set of directors. Other board meetings may be similar
Come as early as you can and attend everything you want. If/when you get
bored, there will be plenty of others to socialize with.
I hope you enjoy as much as I always have. Great flowers, and great
people.
Gerry, looking forward to my lucky 13th spring trek
