HELP!  The 2015 National AIS Portland Convention is going to be amazing. There will be gardens galore, blooming iris everywhere, hybridizers roaming, exceptional section meetings with awesome programs, exciting training sessions, a bountiful boutique, great Geek dinner and auction, exciting section tables, a fully stocked storefront and meetings about everything iris. But the silent auction really needs your help to make it as outstanding as everything else. Now is the time for all of you AIS supporters out there to come to the rescue of the AIS Silent Auction please. We need your iris and garden paraphernalia! Please clean those closets, dust of those garage boxes, and donate your items to AIS. Follow this link to get the details about where to send your lovely donations. And thank you all for considering donating for the Silent Auction so we can make it supercalifragilistic!

CALLING ALL THE AIS REGIONS.  The AIS silent auction also is in dire need of your continued support. We need you to gather all those amazing things from your local affiliates or iris members again! We want to wow all the Portland AIS Convention attendees! AIS Region Vice Presidents gather up those wonderful regional special things. Box them all up and bring them to Portland or mail them to any of the addresses at this link (PDF). It is so much fun to read the posters we make for you, beside the baskets that have information about each region along with colorful pictures of their gardens, or activities and members. And then you can try to buy all those exceptional items and take them home to enjoy! So please have fun and help AIS by donating your time and regional goodie baskets.
