Minutes of June Meeting

Pres. Angelo Chirico welcomed guest lecturer Jay Ungar.
Sec’y’s report: accepted as printed.
Tres. rpt.: balance reported.
Angelo reported that Tom Prete passed away. Services are this Saturday in West Haven. [Attending the service were Dan Sclare, Walt Umberfield, Soll Levine, Marlene Clark, and Dana Ring.]
Dan Sclare will follow up with the Veterans’ Program once school is out on the 19th. He will be looking for volunteers.
Angelo is scheduling the Fall Spectacular for November to be sure it does not conflict with SAMCON.
Jim Pace has a lecture available for August, though not on our normal meeting date. “Ice” McDonald also has a lecture available for Sept./Oct. The officers will pursue both of them. If Pace is available on the 20th, we’ll book him and change the meeting date for that month.
Dan passed around a news article about a guy who makes structures out of playing cards.
Len Lazar reports Aldo Columbini has a website featuring a new trick every week.
We voted in Derek Nadeau as a new member.
Kevin Aust is recently returned from Vegas where he saw a lot of great magic.
“The Late Late Show” (CBS) had “magic week” recently—featuring a different magician each night. —>
