S.A.M. Al Baker Assemby #35
March 2007
 

Dear Compeers,

As I type this latest installment of Presidents words I have been trying to get out of the house for 4 hours. E-mails, mail, paying bills, laundry and other daily chores have piled up and I’m finally completely dug out, except for the banking and grocery shopping. Not that writing this is a chore, you know I love you folks!

A couple of important items; we have amassed the funds needed to send a kid to magic camp, but we haven’t discussed the logistics of how or who. I implore (beg) all of you to consider this; otherwise the decision is left up to me and heaven knows I don’t want to be the dictator of Assembly 35 (we all know how that can turn out). I have a few ideas of my own and will lay them out along with any other thoughts or suggestions from the rest of the club.

Last month I thought a thumb-tip workshop might be fun, so let’s actually do it this month. So make sure you bring your “fake thumbs” I have also been asked to tip some of my work on the Malini egg bag, so if anyone is interested in that I can give a quick workshop on some of the touches and techniques that have become a part of my preparation and routine, so if you have a Malini egg bag, bring that too.

Next month we will be holding our meeting off schedule on Monday April 23rd to accommodate a lecture from Boris Wild, so mark your calendars!

Well that’s about that, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone next week for a productive and magical time.

Magically Yours,

Carlo
