WE WON Honorable Mention

Seriously, we were very excited to learn that our web site won Honorable Mention (2nd place) in the Ring Website Design Competition at the IBM's International Convention recently held in Miami, Florida. The good news was passed along late Friday night after the main stage show where the winners were announced. Ring 252 Charter Members Tom & Vickie Gibson attended the convention and called with the good news. The site has been a labor of love for our Web Master and 2006 President Alan Fisher along with all the members who have contributed photos to share of the many events we've held. We also want to recognize and the thank the individuals who have served as Ring Secretaries over the years and have submitted the various Reports that you can read here in the Ring Reports section of our site. And, of course, a big thank you to the membership of Ring 252 who actively participate not only in the Ring but also the web site by being part of the On-Line Talent Guide, the Spotlight Member of the Month, the lectures & shows we host and everything else we do. A Ring is only as strong as the involvement of its membership and in that respect, our Ring has the strength of "ten Grinches, times two" to quote Dr. Seuss.

We do want to congratulate the real winner of this year's competition, The Hawaiian Ring 185 and their Web Master Bryan Yoshimoto. They have a wonderful site that you should visit (just click the link above).

We also want to thank you, the visitors to our site. You help our Ring grow beyond the city limits of Murfreesboro, Tennessee where we meet and the Middle Tennessee Area we represent every time you visit us here in cyberspace. Please come back often. And if you're ever in the area don't forget to stop by and see us in person. As we say on our home page . . . the magic carpet is always rolled out for you at The Middle Tennessee Magic Club.
