Ring 50 has Go-to Trick Night June 6

If someone asks you to do a trick, what is your go-to trick? When you are out and about and some knows you are a magician, what can you remove from your pocket and show them?  Are you prepared to show them some amazing magic? That’s the theme for the Ring 50 June 6^th meeting night.  Come prepared to be called upon to show us your “Go-to Trick” from your pocket.

   The meeting will take place at the Holiday Inn, 2460 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA following a short business meeting at 7:30 PM.

In addition to this we will be having our annual elections for next year's Ring 50 officers.   If you would like to be a candidate for any of the Ring positions please let Marc Carrion (Treasurer@IBMRing50.Org) know so that he may include you on the list of candidates.
