From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.05.31 at 01:17:15(6625) Hi, Sheri! Thank you! I'm the new Editor of the normally quarterly Newsletter, the next issue is June 2001, which is a "must". The Newsletter is for Members of the International Aroid Society (>500 Global Members expanding rapidly now it seems. In the issue I put forward suggestions which I hope will be very exciting and enhance the already wonderful comradeship and significantly extend the facilities and Dialogue between Members. You get a tremendously different view as a Member of the IAS compared with the "public" chat on Aroid L. More and more it will be for everyone (Enthusiastic gardeners to distinguished Botanists) interested in what I consider the most important plant family on Earth. The Society is the most kind and helpful I have ever met. Please look at the International Aroid Web Site and join. This is an exceptional time for new Members and you would of course get the newsletter which is not on-line. Yes, it would be good to have new articles. What do you have in mind? Do you collect and grow aroids? +More With best wishes Sincerely Ron Iles (West Cork Ireland) to make ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 6:41 PM Subject: RE: June Newletter | I think I've missed something here?

To save money for the club, people who have email capabilities could get the newsletter in PDF format. Print only what you must. ?? What do you think? Or, the PDF can be downloadable from the IAS website. Just food for thought. You must feel like you have gone through labor.

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.05.31 at 01:18:35(6631) Dear Pete! Thanks! Great! I ****** tired after the last pressure weeks for IAS. Sorry I didn't mention Aroideana as I hoped Sheri (and Jill and..) would be +More attracted to Membership by seeing it and all the other delights mentioned on the IAS Web Site. Incidentally there's not a lot about our "Newsletter" there. Your Aroideana 2001 Contents Preview with your Comments is the first item in the June Newsletter, Joe's Article being the last with Dr. Tom's big South American travelogue and seven other fine items in the middle. 19 full pages in June! In my own Editorial being an independent free-lance and free spirit Biologist I wrote most supportatively for Aroideana to continue pristine and undiluted in the visionary ways that you have so superbly produced it. I wrote that the "other" publication, currently called the "Newsletter" could adapt to meet appropriate demands for other IAS services which might otherwise adversely affect its wisest content and prestige botanical and horticultural image. To help everybody, hopefully there will be two large "special" Newsletters with helpful "Letters to the Editor" before the Annual Meeting in September! I will give you email preview of everything so as understandings can be as always mutually amicable. So, I hope you will like how I have tried for all the wonderful folks in the Aroid community including your goodself. Aroid L is PUBLIC and it attracted me because it was about wonderful people loving Plants and by God it shows. It is a wonderful shop window for the magnificent IAS. And as a recent newcomer I feel honoured and I said before, humbled, but above all IAS Membership is FUN. I hope as many people as possible from the delightful and vibrant public Aroid L group will join the comradeship of IAS to make the best happen with their skills so that the excellent service and resources can develop more and more. For our communal world of aroids from novice gardening to high professional botany. Excellence and relevance for the good of all. Thank you Sheri & Jill for your letters to Aroid-L. Best Wishes & Highest Regards Your new blowin friend and mercurial colleague Ron (latest NewsEd) P.S. Its not easy being an Editor but isn't it FUN? ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 8:43 PM Subject: Re: June Newletter | Hi Sheri | | We have two printed publications.
