I recently sent a Private Mail to someone here about joining AHS with its benefits. And then I thought that I better check to make sure that I was correct. I sent a note to the mother robin (the AHS Robin that started the internet daylily interest) and asked for all the correct info.
Julie Covington, the new AHS president was quick to send a reply, as was Tim Fehr, who is AHS webmaster and the guy who started it all on the internet!
Below are quips from their messages:
From Julie -
YES, this voucher program still exists and when new members join, our Executive Secretary Pat Mercer sends them a list of participating vendors and a voucher for $25 ( or more) discount on daylilies. Some vendors also
offer a special discount to members and/or youth members. As of January
30, AHS had added 191 new members so they will all be eligible to participate in the Voucher program. Also, any renewing member who upgrades their membership from a 1 to a 3 year membership or to a life membership will receive a voucher.
At present, the 2011 list of participating vendors is still on the website, but we are working on a new list. As I understand, there are only a couple of changes from the 2011 list. We will hopefully have the new list up and
running very soon.
Here is the link to the list of participating vendors:

Also, just for everyone to keep in mind for this summer, AHS will reinstate the Trial memberships which began last year!! This will happen on July 1,
2012. If your club has summer sales or shows, please be sure to have a
few membership applications available and let people know that they can join
with a Trial membership for half a year for only $15. We decided to keep
the program because it has proved to be successful. As of January 30, 37%
of those who became trial members in 2011 have already renewed for 2012, and we expect that number to go up.

From Tim -
The Voucher Program is still going on, it’s featured on the Membership Information pages on the Portal and on the AHS site.
Voucher specific information is available here:
http://www.daylilies.org/Vouch...
Unfortunately, the voucher program invitation to new daylily vendors wishing to participate needs to be updated and the link on that page will point to the new files as soon as I get it. Right now, the link doesn’t work as the file was out of date. You caught us between updates.
