And the Ombudsman person just sent this from an article she posted not long ago.
ASK THE OMBUDSMAN –VOUCHER PROGRAM
AHS has had the voucher program for a couple of years now. But some new
members still don’t understand the facts. It is an excellent incentive to encourage
gardeners to join the AHS. Not only do they receive the excellent Daylily Journal
four times a year, but also a voucher which pays for their yearly membership.
Let’s encourage our local members to join Nationally.
PROBLEM: We understand that AHS has introduced a new voucher program that allows new members free daylilies. Our club does not fully understand just what they need to do to join this program. Can you help us?
SOLUTION: It is really a very simple process that your club needs to do.
As soon as you have a new member, send in their name/s with the membership check/s to Pat Mercer (Executive Secretary-Membership) P.O. Box 10, Dexter, GA 31019. The member will soon receive a letter from Pat explaining the program, the voucher that entitles the member to obtain the daylily, and the list of hybridizers who will honor the voucher. Some hybridizers require you to order a certain amount before they honor the voucher, while others will just send you the daylily which can be worth $25.00 and in some cases more. You will probably be required to pay shipping. An important note on the voucher program is that it applies to all new AHS members as well as current members with a one-year membership who upgrade to a three-year membership.
