SAM National ConferenceThis year our annual conference will be held in Buffalo from July 15-18. If you have never attended a national before you really should go to this one. Being so close to home, it is only a five hour drive. There will be some fantastic talent this year and the contests are always a blast. This year’s conference in being dedicated to international star of magic Norm Nielsen. For more information go to the conference page, 2009 SAM Conference. Mark Mason from England
Dues are DUE With all the excitement lately, dues have been over looked. Dues are still only $20.00 for the year. You must be a current member of the national SAM to be a local member. Your dues help make a lot possible. So far this year alone there are three FREE lectures from Mark Mason, Danny Archer, and Michael Paul. Dues will be collected at the March and April meetings or you can mail them directly to Bob Connors, Box 245, Round Lake, 12151. March Meeting March has arrived, and so has the snow. This month we will explore our favorite effect learned from a lecture. Crack out those lecture notes, we all have them. Pick one maybe two and be sure include which lecture they came from. Too often we buy these notes and never look at them again. Here is your chance to shine. Next month is Mark Mason at a special day and time, so there will be no meeting on the second Tuesday. See you all there! Joe Goode |
