2008-11 Info about our nearby ring 258

Nominations and elections took place in Leesburg Ring 258. Our new officers are: President – “Magic Ian” Sutz, Vice President - Greg Solomon, Secretary – Roger “Foo” Reid and Treasurer – George Smallwood. Last year we had 4 lectures, and monthly members nights where members performed. We intend to keep up that activity, plus our April show at the Villages. We will also continue to support ring 170 lectures by subsidizing the lecture cost to our members. We had a 7 act show at Hawthorne and sold out. We were asked to make this a regular event. Our club probably earned half the admission and will donate portions to Boggy Creek, and Lake/Sumter hospice. You can check out our monthly minutes at www.ring258.blogspot.com

Our ring will have our Holiday Party & Gift Exchange and take place on Saturday evening, December 27th, at Royal Highlands, beginning at 6:00 PM. $20 admission includes dinner and is open to Ring 170 members.

Tom Craven (in February) is one of several lecturers scheduled next year, we will honor ring 170 member prices for our lectures.

Member Tom Golabek just placed his DVD clip on Youtube on Poker Chip and card Flourishes, check out his DVD at www.pokerchipDVD.com

Magic Ian will be releasing a series of magic DVD's in January and February and they will be in shops shortly after. Also, a re-release of his double match pull. http://matchpull.blogspot.com/
