Here is the first update of the Regional Newsletter information list. This
is good information to have for those of us who are curious about what goes
on in other regions - lots of information contained in these pages. The
quality and content varies greatly from region to region... some are very
professionally done - and some are less so. Most of the newsletters have at
least one article that makes the whole subscription worthwhile! I personally
subscribe to Region 4 (Virginia, etc.), Region 16 (Canada) as well as my own
Region (2). However, I do receive most of the others by virtue of being RVP.
I will probably keep many of the subscriptions up, even when I'm forking
over cold cash.
Especially with the open maw of winter bearing upon us... this is a good way
to absorb more iris info... and get an idea what goes on outside the edge of
your own region.
Thank you to Celia Story, Gerry Snyder and Ruth Simmons for filling in some
of the blanks. I still have some holes......
