	Now I am feeling that I misspoke - I know I receive the Region I
	newsletter and *maybe* I did receive a letter? This was a few years
	ago and I just joined the Maine Iris Society last summer.

	I didn't mean to insult the RVPs......

>If you were not contacted when you joined AIS... the fault is NOT with AIS!

	I hear you about AIS...the New England NALS club definitely did
	not contact me and there is no newsletter sent out to regional
	members that I am getting anyway.

	Ellen - cowering and trying to stand up for new members :-(
