HISTORY
Bayshore Iris Society was organized in October 2013 when
local Iris enthusiasts from the Eastern Shore got together
to form an iris club affiliated with the American Iris
Society (AIS), since there was no affiliated club in AIS
Region 4 east of the Chesapeake Bay at that time.
Pat McNeal, locally known as "The Iris Lady” for selling irises at
the Easton Farmers' Market since 2007, called together some
of her contacts for the purpose of organizing an
AIS-affiliated club on Friday, October
11th, 2013.
Seven people attended and the name “Bayshore Iris
Society,” suggested by Mary Beth Webb, was unanimously
adopted.
The
first officers of BIS were chosen: Cindy Outen, President;
Pat McNeal, Vice President; and Mary Beth Webb,
Secretary/Treasurer. The First Officers of Bayshore Iris Society - Oct. 2013-Dec. 2014
