Don’t know what the Geek Dinner is all about????

What a great way for anyone to have dinner! Have you heard how much fun the Geek Dinner and Auction are? Eat with geeks and non-geeks that have learned what a fun time everyone has. You don't have to be a computer person to attend ...just join a bunch of great iris folks for a plated dinner and good conversation among iris friends and then door prizes and an auction for great entertainment..   

After having spent your day getting off the tour bus ...rushing around the garden trying not to miss anything ...then getting back on the bus to the next garden to repeat the same thing again ...there is no better way to wind down your day than a relaxed evening with friends at the Geek Dinner reviewing all those iris that are now on your "wish list."  

Then the real fun for the night… the Geek Dinner Auction where you get to bid on new iris introductions, gift certificates from commercial iris growers, and iris themed items. The proceeds from the auction go directly into the American Iris Society Electronics Services fund that sponsors such things as online AIS Bulletin archives, and other electronic services. Oh and of course some great doorprizes..
