2012-12 Ring Report

President Craig Fennessey opened the meeting by introducing those guests in attendance; local performer Doug Otto, Chris Waller and Wayne Hughes who drove over from Ocala to attend. Craig alerted the membership that openings were coming up on the Board for new officers in 2013. There is also another free lecture scheduled for the Ring in January.

Dan Stapleton announced the passing, earlier in the month, of Gene Shirley . Gene was the past president of our Ring at its inception in the '70's.

At our next meeting, in December, we will have a gift exchange similar to the events we have had in the past.

Mark Fitzgerald and Doug Otto continue to perform at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Orlando. Dan Stapleton will lecture at the home of Chris Dunn early in December. Jacki Manna is very busy this holiday season doing many private parties and performing in the Florida Mall in South Orlando. Bev Bergeron is scheduled for several gigs emceeing private parties. Wallace Murphy and Craig Fennessey are doing walk-around at Gator's Dockside in Ocoee.

After a brief intermission, Orlando's own Ryan Schultz lectured and entertained for the remaining portion of the meeting. His performance, technique and card handling were well received by the membership.
