NYSC ANNUAL SHELL-SOCIAL APRIL 9 
Our April 9th social promises to be the best. High spot number one 
will be Russell Jensen's presentation of his film of shelling in 
the South Pacific. Don't miss it! 
Among the shells for auction there will be Terebra taurina, Tibia 
fusus, a pair of large Tibia powisi Conus monile, Strombus gallus 
and many other shells of interest from the collection of Dr. Jane 
Schick. Dr. Schick donated her shell collection to the New York 
Shell Club when she moved to North Carolina last fall, and we re- 
ceive them with many thanks. 
To keep us busy between-times there will be the bargain table, and 
raffle and door prizes. The afternoon will be climaxed by the happy 
hour with cocktails or punch followed by the buffet supper topped 
by that assortment of luscious pastries. And what a bargain all 
this is -- only $4.50 per adult, $2.25 per child, and you may bring 
a guest at the same rates. You must not miss it! 
Don't forget that your donations of shells, literature and other 
items are needed and welcome. Bring them along, early if you can. 
Activities begin at 1:00 P™. 
Directions to the studio appeared in last month's NOTES No. 240. 
Check them out for detail; note that the address and telephone num- 
ber are repeated above. i

OUR MAY 14th MEETING at the Museum will be pretty special, too! 
Dorothy Jensen has for us three short slide presentations, each 
with taped narration. They include information, beauty, and some 
hilarity. Don't miss it! Also, Bill Old will give a talk on 
shelling in Florida. We're eager to hear it. 
Mark your calendar now for May 14.
