Awards: Nick Sacco, 2000/2001 John E. Shipton Memorial Award Of Achievment...for outstanding contribution and co-ordination of Ring 49.
Each Executive member and every Lecturer received a special Doug Henning Magic Wand Club award in the form of a magic wand in a special presentation case with an engraved plate, velvet cover and certificate, created and made especially for them by President Alexander W. Hobson.
Comments: An exceptional year of lecturers! We became The Doug Henning Magic Wand Club. We also saw our new web site form as well as our club history being brought together in one place. The Club started a movement to have Doug Henning inducted to Canada's Walk Of Fame. Being bounced from our regular meeting space at the Hamilton Spectator newspaper building, we managed to stay with McMaster University for most of the season. 2001/2002 will see us at a new venue, we hope!

Finally: We hope the new season will bring Doug Henning to Canada's Walk Of Fame, find us a new home and make our web site an important part of our club, with our members only section!!! We also wish everyone health and happiness.
