A.O.S. Selling Plants
So Sandy *will* be joining the Orchid Digest Corporation?
http://www.orchiddigest.org K Barrett "Kenni Judd" wrote in message . .. This post was sent to me by a friend and former employee, Sandy Greeman, who is having "technical difficulties" posting here directly, and so asked me to post it on her behalf: "fwiw - I am not renewing my AOS membership this year. The magazine has amazingly shrunk but carries many more ads than it used to. I'm sick of their attitude towards the novice grower in general, especially because they are supposed to be a non-profit educational organization. Did you catch their tax return for last year?? Salaries are outrageous. Grants are miniscule compared to their expenses for awards and shows - where only a vendor will attempt to honestly answer a newbie's question. Judges just act like pompous snobs. I believe the AOS only exists to promote_themselves_and the_large_growers. I would love to see the percentage of hobbyist awards against the total awards granted. I grow orchids for my own amusement and to share with other hobbyists. The AOS no longer offers me any benefit for the amount of my dues. I can get more information about growing orchids from the internet than I can from their slick monthly advertisement publication. The behavior of their officers in this most recent controversy assures me that I have made the correct decision to discontinue my contribution to their salaries."

That attitude seems to perfectly mirror junior Bush's administration's attitude. -- Irrational beliefs ultimately lead to irrational acts. -- Larry Dighera, |
