AIS: Youth Chair

Forward from the AIS Youth Chair (not a iris list subscriber)


> Hi Karen & Christian,
> 
> I am the Chairman of the AIS Youth Committee, Jean Morris.  In the AIS youth
> newsletter , THE IRIS FAN, which comes out twice a year, I run a coloring
> contest.  It is in the summer/fall issue so should arrive around August.
> I've lost count of how many we have had in the past, probably 7 or 8.  It is
> a good contest for the younger AIS youths and the response has been very
> good.  Cash prizes are given and also the youths who enter have their name
> put on a list for free iris rhizomes to be sent the following summer.
> 
> Other youth contests besides the Clarke Cosgrove Contest (for the top youth
> in the AIS) are the Ackerman Essay Contest sponsored by the AIS Foundation
> (prize of $100 in two age categories) and now and then we have had
> photography, drawing, poetry and several little puzzles.  We run the small
> contests in TIF.  The Cosgrove and Essay contests are publicized in the AIS
> Bulletin in "Youth Views."
> 
> Send me youth news anytime along with photos if desired, and I will be happy
> to publish it in TIF.  There is an issue of TIF due out very soon -- I am
> running late with it this time around.  If either of you have questions or
> suggestions about the youth program, please e-mail me.  I'd love to hear from
> you.
> 
> Sincerely,
> 
> Jean E. Morris MORRISJE1@aol.com
