Re: REF: program suggestions

Listening to all the email chatter out there about presentations, it seems  
like a lot of people including me have developed programs for their  clubs.  It 
is too bad there is not a place where clubs can preview these  presentations 
(if the programs are on the computer) and borrow them.  Maybe  the AIS can set 
something up.  If you want the presentations, then you can  send AIS $10.  I 
will never create a program on Siberian or Japanese  Irises.  They don't grow 
well in my part of the world (southern NM).   Yet it might be nice to see a 
powerpoint presentation. Similarly, Arilbreds are  probably foreign to Canada.  
 
Here is a list of powerpoint presentations I have created.  Of course  it 
requires a lap top, projector and screen to display for the club.  Most  are on 
MVIS web site _www.zianet.com/mvis_ (http://www.zianet.com/mvis)  but the 
pictures  are grainy in order that they download as fast as possible.

Most people don't grow irises in the desert.  However, most  slides are valid.
 
During the AIS Region 23 meeting, we showed a presentation called  "Are You 
and Iris Fan, Fancier or Fanatic?"  There wasn't a single iris  picture, 
however, people were laughing until they cried.  Everyone was  encouraged to tell 
stories.  It took about 1 1/2 hours.  I was going  to offer it to the AIS for a 
program, but I never got around to it.
 
Also during the AIS Region 23 meeting, we played Iris Bingo using the  Dykes 
Medal Winners as buzzwords.  We also showed a picture to match the  buzzword.  
I.e instead of calling out "N5", "Dusky Challenger" would be  called and a 
picture displayed.  I developed software to create the cards  with the Iris 
names.  I was going to offer the program to the AIS, however,  I need to get 
permission from the World Iris Society for use of their Dykes  pictures.
