Have you heard
the rumors? The Geek Dinner is the place to be! Don’t know where to
eat? Eat with the geeks
and non-geeks that have learned what a fun time everyone has.
You don't have
to be a computer Geek to attend. Join a bunch of great people for
dinner. Not only will there be dinner and good conversation among
iris friends but door prizes and an auction will be part of the
entertainment.
After having
spent your day getting off the tour bus and rushing around the
garden trying not to miss anything...then back on the bus to the
next garden to repeat the same thing again...what better way to end
your day than a relaxed evening with friends at the Geek Dinner
reviewing all those iris that are now on your "wish list."
First there is
meeting with all your friends and then making new ones. If you
happen to be a subscriber to one of the iris lists or electronic
robins, you can meet other members and put faces to all those funny
email names.
Then there is a
great meal. We are still in the planning process for this but it
will be great.
Then of course
the real fun for the night… The Geek Dinner Auction where you get to
bid on new iris introductions, gift certificates from commercial
iris growers, and iris themed items. The proceeds from the auction
go directly into the American Iris Society Electronics Services fund
that sponsors such things as the digital projector for slide shows
and the online iris databases.
Oh and of
course some great doorprizes.
Now is the time
to make plans for the, 12th annual Geek Dinner being held
