November 2008
This Month...
Member’s Pot Luck Dessert &
Performance Night
Once again we have an evening of fun
and eating during the pot luck dessert
night. And of course, there will be the
traditional gift exchange.
Please bring one wrapped gift that is
approximately $10-15 in value. Who
knows what interesting gift you may
end up with Saturday night?
Of course we cannot and should not
go even one night without dessert. So,
each member is requested to bring a
favorite dessert. Bring as much as you
wish but what you do bring should be
for at least 4 people. For those that are
a bit more health conscious, fresh fruit
or veggies are also most welcomed.
Our new Board will be installed at the
December meeting.
November Report
If you missed our November meeting,
you missed a great lecture by Joe
Monti. Joe had us laughing from the
second he started his lecture. He told
us he likes to do magic that occurs
from the waist up and not on a table.
Joe feels that the magic can be seen
and appreciated more if it happens at
eye level. All of the magic he
performed for us did indeed happen
in a clear visual manner. Every bit of
magic that evening could be found in
his lecture notes.
Joe did card tricks, spoon bending, a
watch trick which has the watch
developing a two foot long watch
stem, a ring toss, a truly beautiful cups
and ball routine using only 3 balls.He
also did a quick bit of magic called,
“The Best Add a Card Trick Around”.
After the lecture, he stayed around and
answered questions from our
members. He also said if we have any
further questions, go to his web site
and he would be happy to send a
response.

It is safe to say every member left our
meeting feeling he or she had a
wonderful time.
