Re: AIS: 2002 Convention

Dear BEtty, I had a bunch of helpful ideas(I thought) for you at National  
about ready to send and somehow the email got wiped off the screen and I 
couldn't find it, and finally found your letter already transferred to "old 
mail"  I'm getting a little tired of aol deciding things for me and I'm 
thinking of changing to something else!
Now, let's see if I can reconstruct my email!
Most Board meetings may be not as much fun because they decide (maybe!) 
policies and general business stuff.  There are usually no restrictions about 
attending, but unless you are on the Board, you can't vote of course.  The 
General meetings of sections  are open to everyone, you can't  vote there 
unless you belong to that section, and you will go crazy trying to run around 
  to find the rooms to attend all of them!  But I hope you will come to the 
Rebloomer one, I'm trying to get more hybridizers to try to make some good 
rebloomers.  There is such a demand for them, and it certainly makes sense to 
have an iris you can enjoy more than once in a season.  Each section usually 
has a main speaker, and we have a super one - a surprise!  So be sure to come 
to that!  AND be sure to sign up for the GEEK dinner!  That is lots of fun, 
it is an extra charge so watch out for the announcement and sign up.  You 
don't have to be too geeky, after all I go and I don't know half what they 
say, and you are a lot more knowledgeable than I am!
As for what to wear - after all it is an iris convention so it seems anything 
goes!  The 2 dinners are  a little more dressy,  they are sort of special 
occasions.  However, in the "old days" they even wore evening clothes - but 
not now, thank goodness - that makes too much to pack! And most people don't 
have those duds!  I've outgrown all mine!!!! L:ooking forward to seeing you 
there!  You'll love it!  OH. yess!  Bring your camera if you have that "bug"  
And I know you know to bring comfortable shoes, AND since you are near there, 
you probably realize a raincoat, umbrella, or whatever you use for bad 
weather is usually necessary to have --- There is usually precipitation 
during a National ---  in Denver we had snow!   Just think 3 days of gardens 
!  But I enjoy the people just as much,  It's fun to meet the hybridizer of 
your favorite irises!  Looking forward to seeing you there, at least I hope 
to make it!  Rosalie nr Baltimore  zone 7 where we may now be getting winter 
after rivaling Florida with our temperatures for the last month or so!
