Have you ever been to a national meeting? I find it hard to believe that a
person only wants to see gardens--there are so many other things to do--like
Section Meetings--there are so many sections and only 2 days for their
meetings--and there are many attendees who cannot go to all the ones they
want--because of the schedules--the section meetings are usually
great--slide shows, wonderful speakers, rhizome auctions--and other
activities--
Do you know how many of the AIS Board are lamenting the fact that they have
to be at Board Meetings and cannot go to the section meetings? In
fact--they voted to start Board Meetings a day early--so that they could
then go to some of the sections meetings--
And then there are the Judges Training meetings--used to be they were at the
same time--now they are scheduled so that you can go to all of them--and the
speakers for them are the best--
And the other activities--Banquets and IRIS-TALK DINNER-- which was started
last year, and where you get to meet talkers and put faces with e-mail
addresses--
I cannot imagine someone not enjoying the activities that are 'other than
visiting gardens'--you can visit gardens almost anywhere--but where else can
you spend time with such great persons as AIS members--
The first meeting I went to--I was by myself--knew one other person who
'might be' there--and discovered that AIS persons are among the friendliest
that there are--and I was no longer alone--and now look forward to meeting
old friends and making new ones--and, yes, I do get to go to gardens and see
a few iris!! carryl in western Montana--where it was down into the teens
last night--winter is here!!
