AIS Orders

          I don't want to rehash all of my frustration with the AIS
          BOD and Store as enough has been said against it.  What I do
          have to offer is possibly a ray of sunshine. A good and
          trusted friend is in a local society with Nancy Pocklington
          - the new AIS store operator.  He offers nothing but praise
          for her enthusiasm, organizational skills, committment to
          task, and boundless energy. He assures me that she will get
          this problem squared away post haste!  This is comforting
          news from someone whose opinion I highly respect.  I am told
          that the current problem is that Ms Pocklington hasn't
          received everything that she needs to start sending out
          orders (i.e. books,back orders, etc).

          Someone said that AIS is a flower club, not a business.  I
          disagree with that.  It is BOTH!  The AIS BOD needs to wake
          up and realize that if they sell items thru the mail and do
          not promptly send the items or return the money that the US
          Postal Regulations Act deems this mail fraul and does not
          differentiate between a "business" and a "flower club".  It
          is still mail fraud - which is a federal offense!

          Ms Pocklington is to be commended for volunteering step up
          to the firing line and bail AIS out of this problem. I guess
          the one question to be asked now is "Why is this a
          "volunteer" position, and not a paid one?". We've witnessed
          the effect this position can have on credibility and
          confidence in AIS. Other important AIS positions which are
          time consuming and very work intensive at least receive a
          token renumeration for the amount for their volunteer
          efforts.  Why doesn't Sales, which generates revenue,
          receive the same consideration?

          Just because a flurry of letters was not received by the AIS
          BOD does not mean that they were unaware of the problem. Two
          AIS Officers were active on Iris-l during the time with
          several others lurking, as were several RVPs. AIS should be
          thinking Iris-L for bringing this to their attention, not
          condemning or ignoring us for complaining!

          BillSmoot- standing by patiently with renewed hope that I'll
          receive my AIS order, but who questions if we'd be able to
          voice our complaints had AIS sponsored Iris-l...
