President Craig Fennessy called the meeting to order on December 16th, 2009 and introduced the Ring's officers to the 31 members and guests in attendance.
The first order of business was the nomination and election of Officers for calendar year 2010. The results were President: Craig Fennessey, Vice-President: Chris Dunn, Director at Large: James Songster, Treasurer: Art Thomas, Secretary: Sheldon Brook, Sergeant-at-Arms: Joe Vecciarelli. Following the election Jackie Manna presided over a Christmas Gift Exchange and Holiday Party.
James Songster emceed the meeting that followed and offered a Christmas Trivia Quiz. Unknown to the membership until that time, Santa Claus, appearing at two major theme parks in the area and soon to make his presence known around the world on Christmas Eve was a member of our Ring.
Magic Ian continued the holiday merriment by demonstrating a variation of his excellent rope handling and then finished by performing Howie Schwartzman's Card Across. Past Ring President Carl Fowler was up next with his version of “The Locked Deck”. Mike Martin finished the performance segment of the December meeting with a Change Bag Routine and finally pulling a “Hat out of the Rabbit”.
Dan Stapleton made available to the membership a large carton of VHS tapes that past Ring Secretary, Dennis Phillips, had collected over the years. Dennis relocated to the Harrisonburg, Virginia area last summer and is missed.
The Ring looks forward to 2010 with lectures and events already in the planning stage.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!! Sheldon Brook
