The "big" Christmas party in February will be held at The Golden Coral in Algonquin, IL, the same location on north Randall Rd as last year.

Our meeting in October will feature a lecture by magician/comedian Ken Mate. Ken will have a lot of different magic than he did at the SAM 148.

At 8:00 P.M., member Frank Kay, presented his magic show to the members. Frank ably demonstrated all of his magical skills to the great delight of all present. Frank did a great job and we are all grateful.

And, just as Frank was taking his well earned bows, the pizzas arrived, as if by "magic" and devoured with great gusto.

Don't forget, your attendance builds a really good club into a great club.

See you all at the October meeting.
