The delicious food prepared by chef Greg Lewis included grilled breads and spreads, caesar salad, pan seared chicken marsala, penne pasta tossed with portobello mushrooms, marinated grilled vegetables and assorted mini desserts. Whew, what a great combination of foods enjoyed by all! . The evening started out with Roger making some announcements and going over some Ring 199 history. He introduced Ring Vice Pres, Joe Schmelzer, who went over the past year's major events (and thanked those that coordinated them) that included 6 lectures, an auction, and ongoing events like the weekly magic lunch, the monthly magic sessions, the Habitat Show, the Don Carrick photograps, the support of The Magic Corner raffles, NHF providing a great Ring meeting place, and the Ring website and newsletters along with the photo gallery.

What a great entertainment duo that the crowd enjoyed! . Scott’s hilarious MacGuyver Magic Do-It-Yourself lecture at Noon on the same day was entertaining and had a very good crowd attending. It taught us how to think outside of the magic store box! WHAT A FUN LECTURE!!! . Gary Shelton is a great comedian and acclaimed magician with loads of experience.
