Magic Show Spectacular
"HE DID IT AGAIN"
 
The Magic Show Spectacular held during our weekly Rotary Meeting last week by our very own Rotarian and Magician Extraordinaire, Eric Schaffer was nothing short of Spectacular! Eric is no newbie to the world of magic! His father took him to his 1st magic shop when he was around 8 years old. During his teenager years, he performed children's magic shows. When he had is A/C Co, he did shows at company parties. After a little break from performing, he came back, refreshed his skills, and placed an amazing 2nd magic show for all his fellow Rotarians during our weekly luncheon meeting at Mazzeo's.
 
With his handy "Box of Tricks", Eric bedazzled all of his fellow Rotarians with magic tricks, including card tricks, disappearing/reappearing acts, pulling all sorts of items out of various objects, the dice & dagger trick, and no one can forget how Eric magically made a check appear for the Food Drive - right on time! In the Spirit of Halloween, Eric had our wonderful student guests assist him in magically creating sweets for everyone to share!
 
 
Anise Hyssop Requests
Agastache 'Blue Fortune' | Walters Gardens, Inc.
 
Attached is a picture of anise hyssop that is 3-4 years old, it’s at least 4 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. Showing you this because we can “split” the roots we planted last spring at Conte and share some to peoples’ personal gardens. This will only help native pollinators! 
 
Let me know if you or any rotarians would like a small bunch of roots. We could arrange a dig and transplant day before frost in the next two weeks. Hope all is well!
 
If interested please contact Adrienne DeBlieux Speed <speedade@gmail.com> .
