Club President Sean Howell couldn't be present for this month's meeting, so VP Mike Bogdas filled in and did a fantastic job.
April Barrett kicked us off as our featured performer. April co-starred with her rabbit in a hat puppet and put on a great show.
Mike then welcomed several guests, including Bill Morrison a former Plymouth Michigan resident who now lives in New Mexico. Bill was a former member of the AAMC and was in town for a visit which included attending the Abbott's Get Together.
Mike reminded us of the upcoming Improv Class to be lead by John Sturk. This is a great and unusual opportunity you don't want to miss. As well as the September Pop-Up Magic Shop and our Parlor Show in October.
Then Dan Jones presented the promotional business cards he and his marketing team, including Mike Bogdas, designed and had printed. Each member was given a business card holder with a stack of cards and another set of cards with instructions for a binary principle mind reading routine.
Then it was time for member performances.
