The Region 20 newsletter features articles about irises and iris
activities of particular interest to Colorado gardeners.
We hope they will encourage you to join the American Iris Society
(AIS) and to participate in our many activities. Membership gives
you our local newsletter and the larger, national AIS Bulletin
that is published quarterly. You can download a presentation of the 2009
American Iris society awards presented at the 2010 National
Convention in Madison, Wisconsin here.
The file is over 10 MB so it will take some time to download. Please save the file
to your local disk if you want to view it more than once.
Our newsletters are now available in Adobe Portable Document
Format (PDF) format. You can read these files with the free Acrobat Reader
program which can be downloaded from the
Adobe website.

Recent versions of Acrobat Reader are extremely greedy for
system resources and are not required to view the Newsletter.
For older systems, try Acrobat Reader version 7 which is much less
demanding on your system. When you install the software, it may offer
to start the Acrobat Reader program automatically every time you turn
your computer on. While this makes loading PDF files faster,
it takes quite a bit of memory even if you are not reading PDF files so
you can safely decline that option.
The most efficient way to read PDF files, particularly on older computers,
is to right click the link to the file and select the Save As option.
This action downloads the file to your local computer to a location that
you specify where it will be available for future reference without having
to download the file again. Please use this option as it will ease the
demand on our webserver account and permit more people to download the
file at the same time.
If you are having problems downloading the Newsletters, please check your
browser's download options. You may have a content filter or firewall setting
that blocks downloading files from websites that have not been previously
approved and/or certain kinds of files that may contain images.
