I always feel so busy this time of year. There is so much going on.
My garden is starting to burst and my head is busy with planning
upcoming mini events. I skipped the National this year, but several
or our Region E-1 folks attended. They were sure to have a terrific
time. I always do. Every miniaturist should go to at least one
National, and every miniaturist should go to the National in their
Region (so I say!).
Nancy Chalmers is organizing the NAME Day event again this
year. Look for her information in this Newsletter.
Molly’s Tyson Miniature Show is on September 17th
and 18th
. It is
a great show and one of the last in our area, so come out and
support your hobby.
MEOW and the Conundrums are sponsoring this year’s Holiday
Party. Look for the information page and registration form in this
newsletter. We are doing things a little differently this year. We
will be displaying the project at the NAME Day event. So come
out and take a peek. Seeing the prototypes will give you ideas on
how to decorate your own project. Bring your decorating supplies
with you to the Holiday Party. You will love this project!!
Yep, the Circus is coming to town and I am getting excited.
Romaine has us busy with projects and ideas to make this a super
fun event. This is the first time I have been involved with planning
and organizing a National. It is a lot of work, but I tell you
Romaine has it down. You should expect an awesome time!
Happy Mini-ing

From Maryland…
Hello friends,
During the past year the momentum of the preparations for our 2017 National
Convention in Alexandria has picked up significantly under the very able guidance of our
Convention Chairwoman, Romaine Eyler.
As the Tote Bag Chairperson, I would like to invite all of you, individually or as a club or group, to
consider donating Tote Bag favors. If you plan to donate favors and would like your name or your clubs'
name to appear in the Convention Souvenir Book, we must receive your information by April 1, 2017.
I would like to thank those groups who have already sent us their favors. It is so exciting to see things
starting to come together!
The next big “Coming Attraction” for our region is the NAME Day event on October 1st at Bullocks in
Westminster. This year’s committee has put together a “no host” party that should be very relaxed and
fun. I hope to see many of you there… and so until next time, happy mini-ing!
Nancy
Just Clownin’ Around… and getting geared up for the 2017 National Convention
DON’T MISS IT! ~ Registration opens January 30, 2017.
(The registration form will be in the November/December 2016 issue of Miniature Gazette)

From Virginia…
As I assumed the position as President of our Richmond, Virginia, Miniature
Club, my intent was to inspire Club members with the passion of miniatures that
we all share. My first task was to poll the club for ideas, so I prepared a survey
that was distributed to club members. I was eager to learn more about their
specific interests, read their ideas and gain a better understanding of their levels
of expertise. The responses were impressive. Our members are excited to share
their creations with others, both at craft shows and in public arenas. As I’ve told
so many, “My dollhouses do nothing if they’re just sitting in my home!”
Our Club is sprinkled with a vast level of experience, beginning with the ‘newbie,’ who is just entering
the world of miniatures, to our most talented members that have indulged in dollhouses most of their
lives. The enthusiasm in our Club is wide-spread and addictive.
Our members have reached out to the Richmond community and beyond. Dollhouses have been displayed
at local retirement communities, both in Richmond and in Massachusetts. Three organizations have
invited our members to display their dollhouse and diorama creations during the Christmas holidays. The
State Fair of Virginia is right around the corner, and yes, we will be well represented at that event,
alongside the homemade pies, quilts and wood carvings. A “Slice of Americana!”
As I prepare for our upcoming year, establishing a calendar of workshops at each meeting was an easy
effort through the generosity of ideas from our Club. Those ‘Newbies’ I mentioned????? They’re coming
out of their shells by admitting that they know more about miniatures than initially thought. They have
offered snippets of ideas and techniques that have benefited all of our club members. Our more
experienced members have agreed to ‘buddy up’ with those less experienced to provide support and
encouragement. It’s a system that works well!
I’m new to this club, and already I’m discovering the goodness in our members. They vary in ages,
backgrounds and careers. They share their stories… both happy and sad. We come together once a month
and are delighted to see one another… greeting with hugs and smiles. What’s not to like?!!
Our NAME Day meeting will be held at Pine Camp Cultural Arts Center, a venue contributed by a club
member. We will gather to continue the tradition of creating NAME Day memorabilia, as will so many
other Clubs around the nation.
In the grand scheme of things, we are a tiny ‘blip’ on the radar screen of life. We’re focused on a national
Presidential election, tragedy around the world, the upcoming hurricane season, and the Summer
Olympics in Rio. In our little miniature cocoon, we are successfully carrying out the mission of the
NAME organization: “to promote miniatures through education, collecting and building friendships and
skills through the sharing of experiences and ideas.” It is time well spent and memories created that will
last for a lifetime.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT THE TYSONS SHOW
Molly and I are looking for volunteers for her Tyson's Miniature Show on Sept 17th and 18th. We need a couple miniaturists to organize the Children's Workshop (a make and take) on Sunday between 12:30 and 3, and a couple of miniaturists to organize the Exhibits Display. Our regular volunteers, Nancy Chalmers, Jane Schwarz, Donna Lulchuk and George Pendergraph, who have taken on this responsibility for years, are all unavailable this year. Of course, you will get free admission to the show Preview and to the show for the entire weekend. Please let your club members know that we would appreciate their help. Thank You, Mary ([email protected])
7th Annual NAME Day “Bunk Beds”
October 1, 2016 ~ 10 AM to 3 PM Bullock’s Family Restaurant
Westminster, MD Order your bunk bed kit(s) from the list of cutters listed on the NAME website:
https://miniatures.org/NAMEDay2016 Watch those deadlines and get your orders placed…
Some end 8/15 and others 8/31!
Bring your kit(s) and your tool box
Note: Connie Reagan, who is a laser cutter, has offered to cut the NAME Day bunk bed kits
in a circus theme and will make them available in all three scales. Some of her work can be seen on Pinterest and Etsy. The deadline for ordering her kits is August 31st.
Buy your own lunch - what you want when you want it.
Each individual will be responsible for purchasing his or her own kit (the list of cutters, the cost of the kit,

their transaction will be with their cutter of their choice.
There will be tray sales this time and some books and magazines for sale as well. As usual, each
person will need to bring a tool kit, paint/stain, paint brushes, glue and any fabric/supplies needed for
bedding.

The 2017 NAME Convention Fundraiser, sponsored by the
Friday Conundrums Miniature Club, was an amazing event! Fried
chicken at Bullock’s Family Restaurant in Westminster, Maryland, is
always wonderful, and we were treated to lovely and delicious
cupcakes and Bullock’s fabulous homemade ice cream for dessert.
The project was a very clever clown
mobile, and almost everyone
finished his or her kits. They will
make a cute addition to a toy shop or
circus-themed vignette. In addition to some wonderful totebag items,
there were silent auctions and gifts spaced throughout the day, which lent
to the excitement.
The Friday Conundrums outdid themselves, and if this was any indication
of what lies ahead, you WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS CONVENTION
in Alexandria, Virginia ~ July 27-30, 2017!
Here are some of the highlights of the event:

Meet the Tiger Trainer by Romaine Eyler
This past June I had the opportunity to travel to Baraboo, Wisconsin, to attend the Circus Model Builders
National Convention. I was fascinated with the young man who owns eight tigers that were performing
on the grounds.
Ryan grew up in a family where animals were a big part of
his young life. His father was the care- taker of the
elephants in a zoo. Ryan fell in love with the tigers at an
early age and at age 17, he had the opportunity to purchase
several of the cats. He was always interested in the
husbandry of tigers and has studied their behavior, culture
and habits since childhood. At 28 years of age, he is well
versed in the language and behavior of his tigers. He is the
proud owner of eight beautiful tigers, six female and two
male tigers. The males are neutered, for safety reasons. The
females are intact and can be quite contrary when in heat.
One day I watched Ryan cut up raw meat as treats for the
tigers. After he was finished, he walked in the pen and one of the tigers smelled his hands and licked the
juice off. I was astonished that the tiger did not see this as a good meal and take the hand. After the tiger
got his taste, he just wandered off. Another time I observed Ryan make paw prints of the tiger’s foot.
The tiger just sat there, looking around, while Ryan lifted his paw, rolled on paint and placed his paw on a
canvas. These prints are sold in the gift shop to help support the wild tigers in the Sumatran Tiger
Preserve. Ryan is both politically active and a conservator of the wild tigers.
Ryan seems to have eyes in 360 degrees! Even if his back is turned to the tigers, he knows exactly what
each tiger is doing. Tigers sleep 18 to 20 hour a day. When not asleep they need mental, tactile and
physical stimulation. You can watch Ryan interact with his tigers by going to “Show Me Tigers” on
YouTube ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ygOolNeY8. You will see Ryan interact with the
tigers, and the tigers “talk” with Ryan. Ryan interacts with his tigers just like I interact with my two
domestic cats. They get petted, cuddled, talked with, played with and loved. These tigers have a
wonderful and full life. They could not be happier animals.
One of his tigers is white, which is caused by a recessive gene. She is a beautiful girl, and she has a
brother from the same litter that has the normal tiger color.
It was interesting to learn the names of his eight tigers. The females are named Zola, Zabara, Zerd, Zeyla,
Zuri, and Zuku. The two males in the group are named Zeus and Diego.
I wish we could have these beautiful animals perform at our “Come to the Circus” Convention, but of
course that is not possible, so we will have miniature tigers and trainers at the convention. “See you down
the Road!”
DON’T FORGET TO “COME TO THE CIRCUS” IN 2017!!

Once Upon a Time December 3, 2016, 11am to 3pm
Bullock’s Family Restaurant
2020 Sykesville Road, Westminster, Maryland
Please join The Conundrums and MEOW as we host the 2016 Annual Region E-1 Holiday Party. We
will have planned an afternoon of wonderful miniature delights. Visit with your mini friends, view the
holiday-themed exhibits and, hopefully, our usual surprise guest, Santa, will be available for photo
opportunities.
We have decided to go against tradition and announce our project before the Party. It will be a one inch
scale Bebe House. Sample completed houses will be on display at the NAME event on October 1st. You
can decorate this adorable little cabinet in a holiday theme of your choice or in any décor you wish. So
think about your theme and bring paint, wall paper, etc. to decorate your house. In addition to your usual
tool kit, bring a gluing jig and your favorite wood glue.
If you want to participate in the Door Prize exchange, please check the blank on the registration form.
Door prizes will be awarded on a bring-one-get-one basis. Please wrap your gift and label it with your
name. The prizes should be valued in the $15 to $20 range. You will be given a ticket and names will be
pulled. We hope everyone will want to participate and receive an extra surprise.
Lunch is on your own from Bullock’s Family Restaurant’s wonderful, yet inexpensive menu. Purchase
your lunch from the cafeteria or the deli. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches and dinners, ranging in
price from $2.99 for a hot dog to $20.95 for a 16 oz. Porterhouse steak dinner. Dessert will be provided
by the hosting clubs.
***Space is limited, so please send in your registration form with payment no later than November 10,
2016.
