Membership directory preparation

We are in the process of preparing a new edition of the PBS Membership
Directory, to be mailed with a forthcoming issue of The Bulb Garden. I'd
like to alert those of you who are dues-paying PBS members (rather than
only non-paying list subscribers) of this opportunity to update your
information.

The Directory will include those who are current members and those who
were members in 2017 but did not yet renew for 2018. It will list the
names, addresses (postal and email), horticultural businesses, and
"favorite bulbs" of those who answered "yes" to the question on the
membership application that asks if they want this information included
in the Directory. Since fewer than half the members did answer "yes,"
this is an opportunity to change your mind if you want to be available
to be contacted directly by other members. The Directory is not shared
with anyone except members.

There is also a question on the application about garden visits. A small
minority of members are willing to show their gardens to other members
by prior arrangement. If you answered "no" to this but would like to
change that to "yes," please tell me.

We are discussing the possibility of including the names /only /of
members who answered "no" to the above question. If you don't want even
your name listed, please write directly to me. This feature of the
Directory would assist members who want to contact a given individual,
since they could write to me and I would forward their email to the
individual they're seeking, who could decide whether to reply. This
happens from time to time.

If you do want your contact information listed, this is the time to make
sure I have your /current /email address. We have a number of members
who have been with us for a long time (thank you!) and we may still have
their former email addresses on our database.

If you have comments or information to change, PLEASE WRITE DIRECTLY TO
ME, DO NOT REPLY TO THE LIST.

Thank you!
