Dear Anner and Bill,
Thank you and all the others who have spoken up in favor of patience and
forbearance with regards to the Bulletin and other volunteer jobs. Deadlines are
important. However the ones who volunteer often have other lives beside iris.
Most of the officers, directors and vp's ect. have full time jobs that must take
precedence. We ARE very fortunate to have such devoted people working for us.
