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.
