Mordecai's Journal

This month, it is asked that everyone bring a trick or routine or story that you use, or would consider using, in a show for kids.  Other discussion points could include: handling kid hecklers, preventing stage rushing, and keeping the adults entertained at the same time.  As usual, we meet at Angelo’s on Main in West Hartford, with the meeting starting at 7:30 PM on November 13.  Those wishing to join the officers for dinner, please do so at 6:00 PM.  Remember that we do not meet in December, so this will be the last meeting of 2006.  Let’s make it a good one and show up in force!

Sec’y’s report: accepted as printed.

Treas’ report: balance reported.

The group discussed having the current newsletter in a public page on the website, in order to let possible visitors know what goes on at our meetings and how much fun they are.  Webmaster Dana Ring agreed to put the next newsletter on a publicly-available page, minus any treasurer’s information.  President Dan Sclare led the group in revisiting the idea of having a tape and DVD library for the club.  Len Lazar expressed concern that meetings would devolve into only watching DVDs, and would lose membership interest.  Dan assured all that the materials would be lending-material only.  There followed a discussion on videotapes and DVDs in general.

Angelo Chirico tapes Dan Sclare for inclusion on his web page promoting the upcoming dinner/magic show.
