IAS Show and Sale

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.09.22 at 01:36:19(2618) Ever been between a rock and a hard place? That is the position that the IAS finds itself in this Monday evening. We have Hurricane Georges that looks like it might be heading our way without any steering currents to drive it away. It is on a northwest course which would put it somewhere over Cuba or just south of Miami. Now, even if the eye of Hurricane Georges did not pass near Miami, we would still get torrential rains and lots of high winds. This would not be condusive for a Plant Show. +More So, plans for the Show have been put on "Hold and Counting" until Thursday morning. Keep your eyes turned to your TV's and I will give you the final word, hopefully, on Thursday morning. If we have to cancel the whole thing... it will be most dissappointing for all of us. If you have any questions.... please contact me direct at my new e-mail address . I will do my best to help. Dewey Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey Fisk) on 1998.09.23 at 17:59:17(2623) The decision regarding the IAS Show and Sale has been taken out of our hands. Fairchild Tropical Garden is *closed* from this afternoon -- Wednesday -- to Sunday afternoon. Thus, no Show and Sale.... We WERE waiting to see what track Georges would take before making a decision. Fairchild made it for us. I regret that those of you who have made Reservations on Airlines will probably have to take a penalty. I suggest that you contact your Airline, Tell them that Miami is under a Hurricane watch and that the event that you planned to attend is cancelled. Some of the Airlines will probably make an exception to the penalty. It looks like, at this hour on Wednesday morning, the track of Georges will skirt the north coast of Cuba and Miami will miss the worst part, however, we plan of getting lots of rain, up to 10 or more inches. The Show and Sale has been tentatively rescheduled for the weekend of October 31 and November 1. The Heliconia Society has a Show scheduled for that weekend but since most are members of both, there will be a spirit of cooperation... We will keep you posted. If there is anything that I can do to help you in any situation you may find yourself..., please contact me (954) 434-2591, FAX (954) 680-0305 or e-mail at: Regards, Dewey +More Dewey E.

There is a strong possibility that the Airport will be closed and locked down... Therefore, folks with tickets could not fly in anyway.... Glad to know that Continental is one of the 'Good Guys'.
