President Magic Ian. Guests introduced were Jordan Rivera - illusion builder, Bill Scott - IBM member

The minutes of the February meeting were accepted with one correction. There was "discussion of competition at the Daytona convention" at the Ring 258 ½ meeting, rather than actual competition. Treasurer George Smallwood thanked everyone for their sympathy cards on the passing of his wife and reported a treasury balance of $4782.00 after all business transacted in February.
