Nice pictures from the show.
Our Bluegrass Iris Society won the Membership award from AIS for having the most new members this year - 35 new ones!!!!! I am not sure how we did it except that advertisement on TV and in the newspaper helped a lot plus the inducement of a $25 gift certificate from AIS for new members helped considerably.
Most young people and young adults are in general not joiners and they are so busy. We must make an effort to get the youth involved but our club has not been too successful at that. Still trying though. You are finding drindling numbers in churches, women's societies, teacher groups, etc.
