Calendar

The calendar of Ring 362 meetings is posted here. There is also a calendar of other events.

Please see the calendars for 2006 and 2007.

Regular Club Meetings

Meetings will generally be held on the third Sunday of each month, although meetings are often moved from that day to avoid holidays or competing magic events, like conventions. Meeting notices will be sent by mail and email to all members.

Themes: All members and guests are welcome to perform at each meeting. Each meeting will have a theme for the performance segment. One person will be designated as the emcee (this person may also perform). All performers will give to the emcee:

  • Name
  • Title of their presentation
  • whether or not their presentation fits the theme
The emcee will attempt to group the performers following the theme. Performers following the theme will generally perform first.

Members are encouraged to share their favorite ideas for themes with the officers. Please see the web page on themes.

Special events: Special events at regular meetings include, but are not limited to, official club business (elections, installation of officers, etc.), lectures, drawings, auctions, raffles and contests.
