Also, please give thought to stepping up to help out SAM #12 as an officer because elections will be coming up very soon! See you in September.
The SAM Assembly #12 meeting for June will be held on Friday, June 21st during the Magic Collector’s Expo at the Doubletree Hotel in St. Louis Park just west of Highway 100 and Highway 12/I-394 during the dinner hour (5-7 pm). This change was approved by the group because many of the SAM members were already attending the Collector’s Expo event. The meeting will be an informal gathering and chat session without any planned performances.
Following the meeting, arrangements have been made with the Expo Organizers for SAM Assembly #12 dues paid members to be allowed to attend the lecture by Larry Kahlow on the “History of Eagle Magic” and its founder Collins Penz.

Unfortunately, individuals not registered for the entire Expo will have to leave immediately following the Eagle Magic presentation and will not be able to attend other lectures during that session or visit the dealers room !!!
