Roger Way, Secretary (919) 272-6465 Email: secretary@raleighmagicclub.org Website: www.Raleighmagicclub.org APRIL 7, 2012 MEETING REPORT For Ring 199, April means the excitement of our annual auction. Twenty-two adult members, two youth members and six guests filled eight tables with magic goodies and collectibles. . President Joe Schmelzer welcomed members and guests. He informed the members of the unfortunate resignation of treasurer Pam Beaman. Pam has served the Ring as treasurer for eight years. The demands of family and her pursuit of her masters degree prompted the decision to step back from the leadership role she handled so well. The Ring deeply appreciates her service and wishes her every success. . Vice president George Dolicker outlined his phenomenal progress with the April 21st Ring-hosted Volumes of Magic event. The Ring is co-hosting a full day of magic introductory classes with the Wake County Library System culminating with a magic showcase and the media-covered donation of twenty-five magic books to the libraries. An amazing job, George! Thank you! . Secretary Roger Way followed with a report on the new Ring website, RaleighMagicClub.org. The new site offers members and the community a fresh and professional glimpse into our capital city magic club. . Joe Schmelzer explained the rules of the auction then turned the reins over to our veteran and cherished auctioneer Bill Spooner. After nine years as the auction’s voice and wit, as many come to listen to his stories and hilarious banter as for the goods. . After a laugh and bargain filled three hours, Bill pushed 158 items out of the door with a total tally of $1,776.50. Roger Way’s custom auction tracking program kept things running smoothly and made check out a snap. Tess Andrews help with cashiering duties was greatly appreciated. . One of the delight’s of the evening was a running banter between bidding challengers Gary Shelton and youth member John Ravencraft. The two kept bidding on the same items and John was relentless. The bargain of the evening was a beautiful and solid Chair Suspension hand-built by Anthony Thomas. This beautiful piece sold for a jaw-dropping $130.00. . Another great evening was capped off with our traditional late evening fellowship dinner at IHOP. With the auction behind us, we are looking forward the Volumes of Magic event! . Roger C.
