Minutes of February Meeting
14 February 2005 7:45 PM
We had an informal meeting at the home of Dana Ring. We discussed the upcoming lecture by Dan Garrett.
President’s report: Dan Sclare attended SAM17’s after-holiday bash on Jan. 30, and the Magic Barn lecture
by Duane Laflin.
Good & Welfare: Walt Umberfield is convalescing at Woodlake Conv. Home in Tolland. He has had hip
surgery.
New Business: We have booked Dan Garrett for a lecture in May. Cal Vinick has talked with the Jewish
Community Center about a public show. Talks continue. We received Marlene Clark’s candidacy notice for
RVP. The club voted to endorse her.
Adjourned: 7:52 PM.
Aftermeeting: Ropes and strings.
Dan and Dana presented their takes on Professor’s Nightmare. Dana’s twist was a macabre patter dealing
with ancient Greece. Dan’s was to drop the pieces into a change bag--it comes out tied together, but the
knots pop off! Dan also demo’d the Kellar Rope Tie that was in the February M-U-M, and showed us some
ring-on-rope routines.

Reports: Special meetings at Assemblies #16 and #17
Our MI Dan Sclare sent in this report as well as the following photos.
I had the pleasure of attending Assembly 17’s Annual After-the-Holidays-Get-Together on Sunday, January
30, at the Florence Civic Center in Florence, MA. The club provided a great pasta and meatball dinner that
was prepared by President Rich Gilbert. The entertainment and lecture was supposed to be Dave Cresey. He
could not make it because of the weather. He had up to 6 feet of snow in his driveway that he could not make
disappear.
Stepping in for Dave was the man of many voices and talents--Bob Carroll. He was very entertaining and
very informative. Some of the topics he covered were:
- The different letters and how they can be substituted.
- The alphabet and possible run through.
- Types of voices and examples of them for "venting".
- Types of puppets. Types of workings.
- Maybe even his thoughts on Muppets or Marionettes.
I won a raffle prize, an Axtell video, and got a real good deal on an Axtell Magic Drawing Board from Bob.
Also in attendance were President elect Rich Dooley and his two kids, along with RVP Tom Gentile and Dr.
Ungar.
A great time was had by all!
On the road again Monday January 31, I hooked up with our VP Ron Strong. We were supposed
