RE: Re: AIS: membership trends - more

Hi,
How about our wonderful staff of writers making a concerted effort to write
articles for gardening magazines about our Iris?  Or request experienced
writers to write articles, about our wonderful flowers in gardening
magazines.  

A preemptive article about a coming or past convention would be great with
pictures.

Does anyone buy Birds and Blooms? (Reiman Publications)  Did you see the
great article about Francis and Ruth Rogers last year in the spring issue?

Also found this from an article by the American Soc. for Horticultural
Science, which probably wouldn't be what AIS would chose to do, unless
membership continues to decline at the recent rate:

"Depending what direction membership trends move within [professional
organizations]... over the next decade or so,  it may be prudent for
horticulture societies with global relevance and  international
memberships to find new ways to relate or join forces"

So AIS could merge with the daylily and hosta societies.....
