If you answered YES to
this 3 questions then the Society of Young Magicians (SYM) is for YOU !

of American Magicians (S.A.M.) and is a world wide organization for youth, ages

American Magicians. The purpose of S.Y.M. is to promote interest in magic
as a wholesome hobby that will help develop self-confidence and skill, the
ability to speak in public, discipline that comes from learning, practicing and
performing magic, and a sense of service to others through helping others lean
magic and by performing magic at charitable events.
The Society of Young
Magicians has nearly 100 local chapters, called Assemblies, around the country.
Adult supervision and instruction are provided by qualified members of the
Society of American Magicians, one of the most prestigious world-wide
organizations of its kind.

What's
Up?
Thanks to Cynthia Beck who will replace Tyler Reid on our
support group as Tyler is moving to NY.
The annual S-Y-M Contest looks
like this . . . Performers: Connor Peet, Justen Metsch,
Ben Stanhope, Megan Metsch, Julius Oliver, Keven Beck and
last years winner ~ Ben Vath. Special guest performer who
will "kill time" while the judges are counting the points ~
GCMG member, Charley Mack. Master of Ceremonies, Victor
Vath. Stage manager: Perry Vath with Jason Beck helping as
Stage Hand.
What I need now, is to recruit
2 people to hand out programs. I will muster up someone the
night of the contest.
The GCMG annual Public Show will be held Saturday November
15 with the 1st place winner of our contest performing. 7
Pm showtime and will be held at the Bay View Senior Center.
Thursday, November 20 will be the GCMG Annual Awards Night
banquet and show. (No more information on this as of this
date).
December 18 (Thursday), S-Y-M Annual Awards will be given.
S-Y-M Member with the most points: "Magician of the
Year". (As this stands now it close between three
members).
S-Y-M Member with second most points: "Honored Magician
of the Year".
100 plus points: "Sorcerer's Circle Award".
50 plus points: "Outstanding Member Award"
December 18 will also be the GCMG/S-Y-M Christmas
Party. All S-Y-M members are invited to attend the GCMG
meeting/party. Lots of food and as a rule an
outstanding magic show.
Our S-Y-M group is going to lose several members as the
"New" Teen-age group is being formed. We do have,
however, two prospective members who should join our
group soon (I hope). As it stands now, we have 21
members and should hold that number if we can get a few
new members to join. If you can think of any
friends or know of anyone between the ages of 8 to 15
that have an interest in magic, invite them to a
meeting.
I will have an up-to-date S-Y-M membership list to give
to all on the S-Y-M Support Group in October.
2008 was a good year for our group. Let's hope that
2009 is even better! Any idea's and/or suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
"Thanks for your help",
Harley Day
