Hello AAMC Members & Friends,
Well, here we are at the end of the year 2024. What a great year it has been. I am also at the end of my term as President of the Ann Arbor Magic Club and although I have enjoyed my time in office I gladly am stepping aside for a new leader. It is time for a change and some fresh ideas for the club. I think you all know from reading "The Magic Messenger" who our new leader will be and the other changes to the board as well. If not they will be announced at our December meeting and holiday party on the 11th at the Plymouth Community Arts Council. We will have pizza & pop and a few other treats and plenty of time to perform magic.
- I would like to take some time here to thank our board for the great work they have done over the past several years to make our club the successful club that it has become. I don't believe any club or organization can grow and thrive when being run by just one person. I really don't.
- I would like to thank Sean for his friendship, leadership and straight forward thoughts and opinions. Thank You Sean for leading the AAMC to the PCAC as our meeting venue and home base. It is a wonderful facility and I think most members would agree it has helped increase our numbers.
- I would like to thank Karl for his outstanding skills as club secretary. Karl does an excellent job on our newsletter, on our website and social media presence and in promoting club activities. And so much more that I didn't mention here.
- Thank You Rob for assuming the role as club treasurer. (The job that nobody wants.) Rob is always there at club meetings, shows and events with the money before and after and at the next meeting w/ a detailed report.
- And lastly, thank you Mike for stepping into the role as Sargent of Arms when we needed it and inspiring the club with many new ideas. And for taking the lead on the procurement of many great lectures.
I am not going away but rather stepping back to see the new ideas and directions the club will take in the future. Let's all support the new president and board in the coming year and beyond.
One last word of wisdom from me that I take from one of my favorite Christmas movies: "Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."
Dan Jones, President
