Paul,

The journal "Aroideana" is worth the dues, but you're asking the wrong
question.
To paraphrase a famous U.S. President,
Ask not what IAS can do for you, ask what you can do for IAS.

The whole complex of web sites, discussion list, Seedex, Archives full of
great
information on Arisaema would never have happened if a few of us had
approached
the idea of AEG from the point of view of what will it do for me. Rather
we wanted to
share our knowledge, seeds, ideas, and love of Arisaema with all who
enjoy them.

Likewise, IAS is designed as a vehicle for sharing your interest in other
Aroids
with others. One of the reasons that Arisaema-L, unlike Aroid-L, is a
closed list
is to insure that members are willing to contribute of themselves to the
group.
Perhaps this isn't the best way to do it, but somehow we have to get
people
to realize that an organization is only as good as the members
contributions to it.

So join IAS and contribute to it's newsletter and journal even if, like
me,  you can't attend
the meetings in Florida. Perhaps we can add to mankind's knowledge of
Aroids, even
if in a small way, but surely we can support those who devote their lives
to Aroids
and need a central place to publish the knowledge they acquire.
