Re: Aroideana and the Newsletter.

From: Paul Tyerman ptyerman at ozemail.com.au> on 2001.05.15 at 15:20:45(6459) A few weeks ago I posted the following message to the Arisaema list after someone "advertised" the Aroid Society (mistakenly actually.... thought they were on aroid-l). Anyway, this discussion about newletters etc reminded me to send the query to aroid-l...... maybe I can actually get an answer now. I'm after a list of exactly what benefits you get for joining. Given the Australian Dollar is pretty useless at the moment it is rather costly to join overseas societies.... so I want to know what I get before I join. So have a read of the message below and hopefully someone can provide me with the answers. Thanks in anticipation People.

Come on >folks, Please Join. Support the Society, which helps to maintain out >List.Receive your own copies of the Newsletters and the Journal. MJ, Out of interest what ARE the benefits of being a member. The site lists the benefits as "the annual, AROIDEANA, quarterly newsletters, and other benefits". What ARE these other benefits? Is it written anywhere? I just had a quick look and couldn't find anything stating what you get. These are honest questions. I am in Australia so the cost of joining, by the time I get charged $3 for the privilege of using a card will come out to something like $70 a year, which means I'd like to know exactly what I'd get for joining. I currently partake of the Aroid-L (which I think is wonderful, but I don't need to be a member to use that) but what else of benefit to international members. Many of the Horticultural societies are geared to their country of origin and have less use for their international members. That's why I'm asking.
