12th ANNUAL GEEK DINNER

Have you heard the rumors? The Geek Dinner is the place to be! Dont
know where to eat?  Eat with the geeks and non-geeks that have
learned what a fun time everyone has.

You don't have to be a computer Geek to attend. Join a bunch of great
people for dinner. Not only will there be dinner and good
conversation among iris friends but door prizes and an auction will
be part of the entertainment.
After having spent your day getting off the tour bus and rushing
around the garden trying not to miss anything...then back on the bus
to the next garden to repeat the same thing again...what better way
to end your day than a relaxed evening with friends at the Geek
Dinner reviewing all those iris that are now on your "wish list."

First there is meeting with all your friends and then making new
ones. If you happen to be a subscriber to one of the iris lists or
electronic robins, you can meet other members and put faces to all
those funny email names.

Then there is a great meal. We are still in the planning process for
this but it will be great.

Then of course the real fun for the night The Geek Dinner Auction
where you get to bid on new iris introductions, gift certificates
from commercial iris growers, and iris themed items. The proceeds
from the auction go directly into the American Iris Society
Electronics Services fund that sponsors such things as the digital
projector for slide shows and the online iris databases.

Oh, and of course some great doorprizes.

Now is the time to make plans for the, 12th annual Geek Dinner being
held right in the convention hotel of the 2010 AIS National
Convention. Meet new friends and catch up with old ones.
