Due to the Independence Day holiday falling on the first Thursday of the month this year, I.B.M. Ring 13 will take a break and we will not have a monthly meeting on July 4.

Instead, you are invited to join us at a combined meeting with the Mystic Magicians of Beaver Valley (MMBV) / S.A.M. Assembly 157, on the second Thursday of the month, July 11, starting at 7:00 p.m. at their regular meeting location:
Towne Square Restaurant, 518 3rd St, Beaver PA 15009
Please note the changed date, time, and location.
There will be no I.B.M. Ring 13 meeting at The Linden Grove in July.

Thank you to our previous (June 6) meeting's performers/sharers:
Mark Newara (third performance for Ring membership), Gary Filson, Ralph Kelly, Ted Knoblach, John Pedrotti, Levi, Roger Sacco, and Dan Kamin.

Have a safe and magical summer! We hope to see you next month when we resume our monthly meeting on August 1.

Meeting Announcment: June 6, 2024

Theme: Restaurant Magic and Table Hopping

I.B.M. Ring 13 will hold our next hybrid meeting on Thursday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m., in person and via Zoom. You are invited to join us via either of the following options:

  • In Person: Join us at our new location at The Linden Grove, located at 1100 Grove Road, Pittsburgh PA 15234.
    Please feel free to arrive one hour early, starting at 6:30 p.m., to join us in ordering food or drink before the meeting.

This month, our suggested theme is "restaurant magic and table hopping."
After our short business meeting, you are encouraged to perform or tell us about any magic that you might perform in a restaurant or while "hopping" tables.
If you don't want to perform or share any magic using this suggested theme, that's okay; any other magic will be fine.
Ring applicants who perform can have their performance counted towards their Ring membership.

Thank you to our previous (May 2) meeting's performers/sharers:
Mark Newara (second performance for Ring membership), Jeff Vanderhoff, Ted Knoblach, Cece Wagner, Eric Meredith, Lucy Hall, and Levi,
And welcome, Steven Gailey, whose Ring membership application was granted last month!

We look forward to seeing you in person or online on Thursday, June 6, for our monthly meeting or at our informal get-together on June 18.

Best regards,
Mark Zajicek
Secretary, I.B.M. Tampa-Greenberg Ring #13 - Pittsburgh PA
