April’s MeetingApril’s meeting was a real treat. We had a big turnout to see master creator and magician Mark Mason. Mark’s witty talk, smooth handling, and amazing ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hand made this lecture a night to remember. There was very little time given to the business side, please consult the newsletter for updates.
The Web SitePlease take a moment if you have not and fill-in or update your member information. Compeer Dave MacDonald has worked long hours and produced a fantastic website. He also updated the clip of the month which shows Wayne Dobson performing a simple sponge ball effect. My hat really goes off to Dave here, once again he selected a performance that shows how a simple effect can be entertaining and fun.
