Upcoming IAS Show & Sale

From: Dan Levin levin at pixar.com> on 2006.09.10 at 22:25:11(14585) Folks, Please note that our 29th Annual Show will take place NEXT weekend Sept. 16th & 17th at Fairchild Tropical Garden (just south of Miami, FL). If there's any way you can book a flight, boat or car- I highly encourage you to pop in for the weekend and immerse yourself in the incredibly diverse world of aroids & aroiders.... There will be much to see, to learn and to acquire! Full details can be found at http://www.aroid.org/ In summary: : There will be a banquet Saturday night (Cuban cuisine). Our featured guest speaker will be none other then Dr. Eduardo Gon?alves, flying up from Brasil to present a talk touching upon his many years of experience collecting, cultivating and classifying rare South American aroids. Not to be missed-!! Immediately after Eduardo's talk, the inimitable Julius Boos and Dr. Tom Croat will reprise their role of past years and jointly present [enter trumpet fanfare] the Live IAS Auction! (more on that in another mail) Trust me folks, the Captain & Tennille have NOTHING on Julius and Tom. :: Throughout the entire weekend, incredible aroids of all persuasion will be available for viewing and purchase thanks to our many fantastic vendors and members alike- who are invited to bring along and sell their own plants at the IAS Member's Tables (please contact tricia_frank@hotmail.com for details). ::: Dr. Croat has also intimated he may present a secondary lecture at some point during the day. Unlike the main banquet which requires an advance reservation and modest cover charge, all show visitors would be warmly invited to attend Dr. Croat's daytime presentation. :::: If all that isn't enough, you'll not-so-coincidentally find yourself in the midst of Fairchild Tropical Garden- one of the foremost tropical botanic gardens in the world. Advice: If you're coming be sure to travel in with a few large, empty suitcases. Trust me. I look forward to seeing you there! -Dan Dan Levin +More President, IAS _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Famille FERRY" jpcferry2 at wanadoo.fr> on 2006.09.11 at 16:34:18(14590) Dear President, I am very frustrated to live so far from Miami . You are convincing! I imagine that it is very interesting to follow the conferences of Dr. Tom Croat, Dr. Julius Boos and Dr; Eduardo Goncalves. Yes, I will like to be among you all Saturday to discover new plants and to make new acquisitions. As it is not possible to come from France, I ask you to do many photographs and to communicate them. I would be with you all, in thought this weekend.
