March Minutes
Hi Magi,
Here are the Ring Minutes for the month of March.
Roger
Friday, March 26, 2015, Minutes of IBM Ring 258 – The Magic Ian Ring
President Jim Moody opened the meeting by introducing Serenity and Mackenzie Gleisner, granddaughters of Dave and Karen Lyons.
Good and Welfare – Member Chuck Smith has had a stroke since our last meeting. He was in the hospital and then transferred to the Rehabilitation Hospital of Ocala, Room 128, 2275 22nd Lane, Ocala, FL 34471. Greg Solomon has visited Chuck and reports that he is paralyzed on one side and cannot speak, but his spirits are high. I'm sure Chuck would appreciate visits from any members who can get there. He may be transferred to a longer term care facility in the next week or so. A "Get Well" card was signed by all members in attendance and will be delivered by Greg on his next visit.
Old Business
The Secretary's minutes were approved as e-mailed. The Treasurer's report was approved showing a balance of $2963.65 at the end of February with 46 members. After a final e-mail reminder those whose dues remain outstanding at the end of March will be dropped from the roster.
Lectures – The Ryan Schlutz lecture was very good. Mostly on cards. He spoke for more than 3 hours! His book and DVD were excellent. The lecture could use some tightening up and polishing. The web site www.cardgaffs.com was recommended for specially prepared cards. No other lectures booked at this time.
Fund Raiser – The show at Royal Highlands went over 2 hours long with a 15 minute intermission. We earned $1090.00 for the treasury. We need more participation of members for future shows. More lobby close up magicians and back stage workers.
Last month the Shriners offered Sat., Oct. 31 (Halloween) for another show at their facility. It was tabled for discussion this month. We asked Les Morgenstein, our Shrine contact, to look at Sat., Oct. 24, so there would be no complications with Halloween.
Greg Solomon stopped in at the Ocala Shrine facility and discussed the possibility of doing a show with their group. Reaction was positive. Greg is waiting for a call back from the Shriner's to discuss in greater detail.
New Business
The IHOP provided us with a semi-private room for our meeting. The room could easily hold 40. Food service was excellent. We need to train the waitress a little. We may return next month or look for another "permanent" location.
Reminders: Ring 170 Flea Market/Lectures this Sat., Mar. 28 at the JCC in Maitland, Ring 258 Picnic, June 7, IBM Convention in Jacksonville, July 15 – 18, Genie Convention Sept. 30 – Oct. 3, Ring 258 Holiday Party Sun., Dec, 27.
The topic of member participation was discussed again. Many members are simply paying their dues and only attending all the free lectures, picnics and holiday parties without attending meetings, performing at meetings or fund raiser shows or participating in any other way. At the April meeting we will discuss the status of those who choose not participate.
Roger Reid brought up the fact that our web master, Craig Schwarz, has not kept up his part of the bargain. He was not only to create the web site but to make monthly additions and improvements. Many months ago he was given a stack of DVD's of shows we have performed in, in order to create a video for the web site and copies for distribution to potential show clients. Per Craig's recent e-mail virtually nothing has been done. A number of us will see Craig at the Ring 170 Flea Market and discuss the situation with him.
Greg Solomon will run his summer Magic Camp from June 8 – 12. In preparation for that he will be placing an order with D. Robbins. If you need anything, review the D. Robbins web site and tell Greg what you need. You will pay wholesale because of Greg's buying power.
The Ring has received an invitation from the Lake County Shrine Club to participate in their Casino Night, Sat., Apr. 11, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. Entry fee is $10.
The 50/50 raffle was won by Roger Many in the amount of $8.00!
The after meeting theme was St. Patrick's Day or anything green. Guest Mackenzie flawlessly performed a short "cups and balls" routine. Her sister, Serenity, magically colored in an outline drawing of a camel. Roger Reid told a story of Moishe the Jewish Leprechaun who used a "tube of chrome" to create money with a Waterford Crystal magic wand. Greg Solomon performed a Diamond Jim Tyler coin effect. And David Lyons closed the show with a torn and restored $5.00 bill.
Theme for next month: A surprise in an e-mail from Jim Moody!
Respectfully submitted, Roger L. Reid, Secretary

Here is the latest update on Chuck.
I went to see him this morning around 10. He is settling into his new digs at Healthsouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Ocala.
The address is: 2275 SW 22nd Lane Ocala FL 34471 phone# 352-282-4000
The hospital is located off of Easy Street behind the Hardees.
He is doing well, he still cannot speak and appears to still be somewhat paralyzed on his Right side. He appears a bit frustrated most likely because he cannot speak and has difficulty moving around.
Other than that he keeps himself occupied by watching Turner Classic Movies and seems to enjoy the old black and whites. He is pretty aware of everything and can use the TV remote and read the get well card Ring 170 sent.
That is about all I have at this point in time I am sure he would appreciate any kind of visit if you can manage it. Just don't expect a whole lot of 2 way conversation!
Take care and please forward this info to the other members of 258 and 170 who are not on this initial list.
Thanks,Greg

February Ring Meeting Minutes
Hi Magi,
Here's the latest from Ring 258!
Roger
February, 2015 Minutes of IBM Ring 258 – The Magic Ian Ring
The Ring was notified by President Jim Moody, by e-mail prior to this month's meeting, that Denny's no longer wanted our business. Jim explained that through member Les Morgenstein we were able to acquire the use of the Lake County Shrine Club's meeting room at no charge for this month's meeting. We had a smaller than usual turnout and it was hoped that this new location was not the cause. The Shriner's would like us to continue to meet there and even offered to bring in a chef to prepare a limited menu for us. It was decided not to go the food route but to eat either before or after the meeting, at other locations and simply purchase drinks from the bar at the club and donate "a dollar or two" to the Shriner's each month. Greg Solomon and Chuck Smith ate at the IHOP up the road a mile or two and found that they have a back room we might use for free if we dine there, if things don't work out at the Shrine Club.
The Secretary's minutes were accepted as e-mailed. The Secretary also reported that a "Special Event" article and photos have been submitted to the Linking Ring detailing our Holiday Party, Officer Induction and Ring Name Change celebration. The article should appear in the next few months. The Treasurers report was accepted showing a balance of $3004.90 at the end of January, with 46 members. Almost 1/3 of members have not paid their 2015 dues yet. If not paid by the end of March you will be dropped from the roster.
Old Business
Greg Solomon reports Ryan Schlutz will lecture for us at 2:00 PM on Sun., Mar., 8, 2015 at Mystic Ice Cream. On Wed., Mar. 18, Ring 170 will host Diamond Jim Tyler for a lecture.
The Ring received a very cordial letter from Floyd L. Cogley Jr., of the Lake County Shrine Club, thanking us for magic performed at the Patient Children's Christmas Party.
Our next fund raising event is scheduled for Fri., Mar. 20 at 7:00 PM. Performers will be Roger Reid, Wayne Dowling, Roger Many, Jim Moody, Dave and Karen Lyons, George Smallwood and Greg Solomon. Lobby magicians will be Magic Lee Langer and Dandy Dan Dyer. Back Stage helpers so far are Bob Martino and Bob & Wendy Morris. We can use more hands to pull curtains, set and strike acts, sell and take tickets, etc. If you can help that day contact Jim Moody at 352-315-1100 or crowdteaser@embarqmail.com . Jim will contact Santa to see if he is available for photography. (No White Socks!)
New Business
Our picnic has been rebooked for Sun., June 7, 2015 at Hickory Point Park. Our Holiday Party has been rebooked at the Shrine Club for Sun., Dec. 27, 2015.
We have another potential fund raiser show at the Shrine Club for the date Sat., Oct. 31, 2015, Halloween. Some discussion was held over the pro's and con's of that date and what help the Shriners might give to help ticket sales.
The discussion of monthly meeting themes was brought up. Next month will be St. Patrick's Day and anything Green. Other topics brought up were Mini Lectures, Grab Bag, pick a theme like ropes and everyone performs with repeating anything already done, etc. Jim will prepare themes for the rest of the year.
The Ring 170 Flea Market and Lectures will be on Sat., Mar. 28 at the Jewish Community Center in Maitland.
The Magic Roundtable Luncheon was held at "Legends: in Fruitland Park. It may be held there again or we may try some other restaurants.
Greg brought in a 40 year old, sealed Tiffany Decanter of Liquor from the Placko Estate which he offered for sale. There were no takers. He will bring it to the flea market. He also displayed an effect call "Horse Race" which had no instruction and asked for input.
The 50/50 was won by Bob Martino in the amount of $11!
Entertainment
Dave Lyons emceed the evening show with a theme of "Hearts and anything about Valentine's Day".
First up Jim Moody performed "Guess the Card", twice and then closed with "Lips".
Roger Reid misunderstood the title of the theme and thought it was f**ts and brought a Whoopie Cushion. He also showed how a cheap magician gets bouquets of flowers, for all his female friends and relatives, without spending $39.95 for each, by using magic flower seeds and a chafing dish!
Greg Solomon managed to sneeze out a donut and then perform Bob Cassidy's "Chronologue".
Dave Lyons closed the show with a bare handed production of multicolored, Mylar flowers.
