                                     2007 Reg. 2 Show Report Update

 

As the Fall 2007 Reg. 2 Newsletter was going to press, HVIDS was coping with the simultaneous

loss of their beloved leader and 2007 Show Chairman, Jerry Murphy. Therefore an incomplete

HVIDS report was published.  Here is the full report.

Webmaster Report                                                      Vaughn Sayles

 

The AIS Region 2 Website (AISRegion2.org) is up and running and is updated monthly.  I hope everyone is checking it from time to time.  In addition to current articles from the Region 2 Newsletter, it contains our bylaws, histories of the Region 2 Awards, information on our shows and sales and our yearly budget. 

 

It has been generating about one contact per month requesting information on iris or about our clubs.  It’s nice to know that we are out there and that people are finding it.  If your club has a special event that you’d like publicized on our website, please let me know.

 

Currently I Host Networks is providing a site for our webpage.  Their monthly fee is $9.95 and there is an additional annual fee of $14.95 for our website name – AISRegion2.org.  I also purchased a copy of Web Easy Software which allows me to maintain our website.  The cost for the software was $45.93 and I have been reimbursed for the expense by our treasurers.  Since I was not billed $9.95 for the month of January, our total cost for the webpage for 2008 will be $170.33.   This exceeds the $150.00 budgeted for the Region 2 Website by more than 10% and we will need approval by the Board of Directors to increase the expenditure in this budget category
