Centre Michigan Magic Club Report – March, 2002

 

Susan Hachette

Editor: As promised, here is the first of many reports from the Centre Michigan Magic Club (“CMMC”).  As loyal readers will recall, for some reason, the CMMC is unable to have its reports published in either the Linking Ring or MUM.  We have agreed to publish the reports here as a service to our magic community.

Mr. Allen told the children that many people think a soda bottle disappears when they throw it in the trash. Not so, he says, telling the story about how the garbage man picks it up and it ends up in a landfill. Through recycling — and magic — he turns the old bottle into a sparkling new one.

 

The program is sponsored by local agencies as well as the John Deere Community Credit Union; Black Hawk County Solid Waste Management Commission; the cities of Waterloo, Cedar Falls and Evansdale; Cedar Heights and Hudson schools.

 

It sounds like a fantastic program.  If you would like to read the full article, click here.
