June 11^th 

 Installation Party

Instead of a speech, Dan Todd presented a slide show with every meeting for the last two years. This included photos of everyone performing for lectures, charity events, after meeting shows and the three broken wand ceremony's.

Exiting president Dan Todd presented Bronze medals to Sandy Weis, Christopher Rayman, John Apperson, Harry Monti, and Dan Todd in acknowledgement of  their outstanding efforts to Assembly 8 over the last year. Then John Apperson PNP presented the Silver Medal to Dan Todd for his services as President over the last year.

Harry Monti PNP installed the new board and officers (see May 14th list below) and Dan Todd passed the President's S.A.M. Pin and the gavel to Randy Kalin our new President.

Randy announced the up coming events and spoke with enthusiasm about the Assembly 8 and how we can invigorate it with fresh ideas and more MAGIC. Randy will edit the S.A.M.-A-GRAM and already had copies on hand.

Then the party started! Virginia Apperson had our done herself by providing all kinds of tender morsels.

Last but not least...

Our beloved Roy Mayer made a very rare appearance in the form of memorabilia, brought to the party by his Niece, who attends the church we meet at.

The Usual Suspects

The meeting was short, the evening was long! George Van Dyke started off the evening of entertainment with a card effect that started the ball rolling. This was followed by Paul Rygelski performing and teaching several card effects which enticed several others to put their hats in the ring: Jim Holmes, Eugene Schaefer, and Greg Lewis.

Sandy Wise was soaking up the free education in MAGIC. Even I could not resist teaching her how to cause a chosen card to flip over when the deck is dropped to the floor. All in all we had a good time that flowed over to the usual after meeting hangout- Steak&Shake. The usual suspects in unusually good spirits!

^{We hope Harry Monti is feeling better, John Apperson finds what he is looking for in Atlanta, and Randy Kalin's show went well. We will see you all at the Installation Party at next meeting night.}
