Message from the President
Greetings fellow Magi,
I hope all of you had a great holiday and welcome to 2008. I am planning a great
new year of fun and magic for all of us. By the time you get this our annual
"Cavalcade Of Magic" will have taken place and I hope that all of you got a chance
to come out and support the show. Our next meeting will be our annual magic flea
market and auction. We will start out the night by having everyone selling their used
or unused items on a one on one basis. Then at the end of the night we will switch
it up to an auction to try to sell as much as we can. So, bring some of that magic
stuff that has been collecting dust or that old prop that you just don't want anymore.
One man's junk is another man's treasure. Also, make sure you bring some cash
or your check book so you can take home a new toy for your show.
On a more serious note, I was informed that we are no longer going to be able to
use the Central Hudson building for our club meetings. Apparently the company is
increasing security measures and eliminating all out rentals of the building. This
unfortunately means us, so we must look for a new meeting place. I have some
feelers out already but if anyone knows of a place that might be good we will
discuss this at the next meeting. Please bring in any contact info if you have a
place that is interested. We will offer them the same deal that we gave Central
Hudson, we will do one show a year fro them in return for the use of the space for
2 hours once a month.
So, I hope to see you all at the show and at the next meeting for our last one.
This is not an end but a new beginning, so please stay with us as we will find a
new and better place to hold our monthly get together.
Until anon,
John 'El Presidente" Shaw

Message from the Secretary
-------------------------------------------------------
It is with great sadness that I report the death of a Bernie (Bernice) Fitchett,
Bernie was the wife of founding member, Ed Fitchett and a great friend of our
assembly.
In the early days of the assembly, we met at Fitchett Brothers Dairy.
Ed and Bernie were great hosts and food and drink were always a part of the
meetings. Bernie was a great cook and had published a popular cookbook.
Ads for Fitchetts Dairy always included at least a couple of Bernie's wonderful
recipes. We always looked forward to Bernie's incredible desserts at these
meetings.
Our membership will always remember Bernie's ever present smile and
generous spirit. The entire membership of Al Baker Assembly 35 sends its
deepest sympathy to Ed and his family at this difficult time.
