Region 21 Symposium

    I found the symposium summaries from a couple other regions very 
interesting, so I thought I would share the results from our region 
in hopes others felt the same way.  It's interesting to compare the 
different regions, noting what is universally popular as well as what 
isn't.  Why are so many AIS members unwilling to take time to vote?  
I noted Region 4's percentage of something like 14+%, and ours is not 
a lot better:  55 voting out of a posible 296=18.58%.  Anyway, here 
are top vote-getters in the upper midwest.  I'll list those with 
votes in double figures; there are 2 more pages double-column of 
those getting fewer votes.

* You need a bit of humor, too.  I notice that whoever typed the list 
I got made a neat typo and left out the middle t in Immortality!  
Somehow, I don't think it would ever win a Dykes with that name!

off for a while longer, despite forecasts to the contrary for the 
past 2 nights.  I covered my lone reblooming stalk, Low Ho Silver, 
just in case.)
