As we turn to springs’ renewal with all its optimism and opportunity, we also head into wedding and anniversary season. For sure the business environment is better than in recent memory; hopeful we all will see both flower and invoices bloom! @ AGTA we have been more than quite busy, always working to fulfill the Association’s primary purpose (see By Laws #1), to increase commerce for our members. The staff and the Board have been work- ing non-stop to fulfill this mission focusing on 3 areas: Shows, Promo- tions and Website. OUR NEW AGTA WEBSITE IS LAUNCHED! On April 25. AGTA had a social media takeover for our new website. The website is a huge tool for us as an organization and for each of our companies. The consumer side will provide education about color and why buying from AGTA members is the smartest choice. On the members’ side we can now control our company’s information and public face on our own. This will make each of our companies’ show management and more in our own hands. The site will also have a strong social media presence with Instagram, Face Book, Linked in and Blogs to keep everyone up to date, minute by minute. This new interactive site provides AGTA an exciting direct link for B2B, B2C and with each other. A BIG HAT’S OFF AND THANK YOU to the Promotions Committee – Kim Collins, Simon Watt, Gaurav Shah, Bruce Bridges, Bill Heher, Niveet Nagpal, Paula Crevoshay, David Nassi, Danielle Barber, Sam Sulimanov and Ruben Bindra ………AND to Doug, Sheri, Kami, Megan, Lauren and Team Dallas!!!!! For the past several years we have been focusing the Promotions efforts on a single theme – BUY AGTA – the concept is simple: that the AGTA supply chain is the THE BEST source for gemstones and pearls. From importer/dealer to manufacturer/designer to retailer, each AGTA member adds knowledge, expertise and great value in every sale. This is the best route for our retail partners and for the consumer. All of our promotional efforts are wrapped in this theme. With the website complete all focus will be on this themed outreach. AGTA’s social media presence is the BEST in the business (yea, Megan and Lauren) – this will be greatly enhanced and expanded in the year(s) going forward. Shows are why AGTA got started and have been keeping everyone quite busy. Well to the point, Doug, Mary Lou, Kimberly and the team in Dallas are currently working on 3 trade shows simultaneously…Las Vegas 2018, Tucson 2019 and Las Vegas 2019. The only one that is “easy” is Las Vegas 2018! For Tucson 2019, we are adding a dedicated designer pavilion in the upstairs Ballroom. This involves realigning existing designers and adding more. The AGTA GemFair™ at the Tucson Convention Center is the heart of the Tucson Gem Shows experience. Our goals are to create exciting opportunities for our exhibitors and buyers – to give the buyers every reason they can to stay at GemFair for as long as we can keep them enticed and happy. The GemHall is now an open opportunity for old or new Firm members to come and “be in the room.” For the first time in a decade, we have space available. It may take a year or two for this to settle in but the opportunity is great for all. The Association has planned a major marketing effort to tell buyers where exhibitors are and the exciting changes that are being made. Now to Las Vegas – the move to the Las Vegas Convention Center in 2019 is going to be one of the best moves AGTA has ever made. The booths are filling up nicely; we have an amazing floor plan. Co-exhibiting with the Las Vegas Antique Watch & Jewelry Show brings 2 FROM THE PRESIDENT - CONTINUED jeffrey bilgore TWO PROFESSIONAL show-producing organizations together. We can now show in Las Vegas for less than it costs to show in Tucson! The first role of AGTA is to create business opportunities where our members can sell their merchandise and make a profit. AGTA’s goal as a show producer HAS ALWAYS been to make sure that the exhibitors can be successful. I am sure that this focus is quite different than the other shows in Las Vegas. We will have a Designer & Manufacturing Pavilion, we have a hard wall section for gems traders and an overall uniform look of soft walls for everyone else. The package is an AMAZING value. I am quite sure that the exhibitors and buyer experience at this new venue is going to be an incredible improvement!!!!! These are just a few of the efforts being made by AGTA. AGTA has also been quite active in various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. As you all will read in this issue (page 6), AGTA has had its feet on the ground in Jaipur regarding our Silicosis Abatement program. We are waiting for specific results but are quite sure that these efforts will help raise awareness, offer remedies and help laborers in our trade to live a longer and healthier life.

    NEWEST STAR TREK ATTRACTS THE NEW GENERATION June 9, 2009 by Samantha Filed under Entertainment Leave a Comment Lynn Cinema Reviews the 11th Star Trek Movie By MATT FISCHER Staff Writer Star Trek 2009 movie poster In 1966, a phenomenon named Star Trek broadcasted it’s first ground breaking episode on NBC. Forty three years later, the franchise is still going strong with the release of the 11th Star Trek movie (aptly titled Star Trek). The last movie, Star Trek: Nemesis, was released in 2002 and while alright, tanked at the box office and proceeded to close the book on the familiar Next Generation cast. Hollywood insisted that the next film be a reboot of the series as a whole (which meant whole new actors for Captain James T. Kirk and Spock.) J.J. Abrams (of LOST and Alias fame) signed on to direct the movie and here we are nine months later, watching a beautiful film. The film gives the audience an early biography on Kirk and then proceeds to Starfleet Academy. Kirk is assigned to the Enterprise under the guidance of Captain Christopher Pike and First Officer Spock. Everything is fine and dandy until a Romulan from the future, Nero, comes to the past to eliminate Kirk and Spock. He destroys Vulcan and takes Pike hostage. Leaving the Enterprise with Captain Spock and first Office Kirk in charge. (Of course they win they day, but to spoil that for the reading audience would incredibly mean of me!) The new actors portraying favorite characters slip pretty much seamlessly into their roles.

  • Eddie Murphy Reprises His Role As the Ever-Charming Prince Akeem and Leads an All-Star Cast for the Much-Anticipated Sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA
    COMING 2 AMERICA - An American Marvel! Eddie Murphy reprises his role as the ever-charming Prince Akeem and leads an all-star cast for the much-anticipated sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA. Three decades and three beautiful daughters later, Akeem prepares to take over the reigns of his homeland of Zamunda. As antiquated gender roles are being challenged within his home, he is also faced with a new dilemma on the outside. While tradition has always required a male heir to take the throne, Akeem feels torn between following custom and creating change. While considering his eldest daughter, Meeka, who is the strongest choice, his rival, General Izzi, is plotting a union of dynasties with his son, Idi, as Meeka’s groom. Meanwhile, an ailing King Joffer delivers the shocking news that Akeem has a long-lost son, Lavelle, in Queens. After an unexpected turn of events, Akeem, now the King of Zamunda, along with his trusted confidante, Semmi, return to New York to tend to this unfinished royal family business. Upon finding Lavelle, Akeem convinces him to travel to Zamunda in order to learn the customs of royal life in preparation for becoming the heir to the throne. While Akeem smooths tensions with his wife and three daughters, General Izzi decides that his daughter, Bopoto, will become Lavelle’s wife. All the while, Lavelle is falling in love with his royal barber, Mirembe, who has dreams of owning her own barbershop. Arsenio Hall returns as Semmi, alongside James Earl Jones as King Jaffe Joffer, Shari Headley as Lisa, John Amos as Cleo McDowell, Louie Anderson as Maurice and the legendary barbershop crew who sparked the laughs in 1988 for COMING TO AMERICA.
