My apologies for the late newsletter, I didn’t believe the changes a new born can have in ones life, but it is true, and well worth it too! This month is magic in a bag which was first introduced by former Assembly President and current National Second Vice President soon to be First Vice President , compeer Vinny Grosso. The bags will have new and old items in them. Teams will be formed and everyone will have a set amount of time to develop a trick or routine. I look foeward to seeing you all tomorrow!
