Hi All,
My thinking is we should promote <SIBERIANS> to the public. Now to do this we
open the door so they may learn more about the iris or irises we love so
much, not just promote to our own members. This has always been one sticking
point with me with the iris organization we tend to promote to our own
members when in fact to get more members we need to be promoting to
non-members. I believe by allowing non-members to this robin or any other
list talking about iris is doing what AIS nor the sections have done until
now. Thank the Internet for allowing this to happen.
