Mirage employees from various departments came together this holiday season to give some much needed holiday cheer to our adopted families. Gift distribution took place on December 14 and 18, where six families received gifts that included bikes, gift cards, stockings and even a Christmas tree.

It’s such an overwhelming feeling to see

the families when they receive their gifts,” said Employee

Services Coordinator Melissa Castro. “They are all so grateful

and you can see how much they appreciate everything.

‘‘The Convention Services, Advertising and Marketing departments came together

to provide gifts for one of the families. “We adopted a family this year because we realized that the holidays are about giving not receiving,” said Assistant Director of Convention Services Jenn Siy-Hian. “I was deeply touched by the gesture shown by some of our staff members.” Items donated included, a Nintendo DSi, grocery gift cards, jackets and school supplies. “The best gift was a game console given by the 12-year-old son of our Director of Advertising, Traci Preus,” said Siy-Hian. Thanks to the following departments for providing a bright and happy holiday for the families: Slots, VIP Services, Convention Services, Marketing, Advertising, Animal Care, Public Area, Security, LOVE Wardrobe, Finance and Front Desk.

We are pleased to provide all of you with this year’s Annual Report highlighting the

American Gem Society’s operations and events of the past year. In 2005, the Society

continued its honored tradition of dedication to consumer protection through setting

the highest standards of professionalism in the jewelry industry. There was positive

growth in our membership, which now totals 1592 member firms. The Society ended

the fiscal year with an increase in net assets of just over $1,000,000. The strong financial

results are due to the continued success of the American Gem Society Laboratories, LLC™,

and have enabled AGS to grow its cash reserves to $984,000. Partnership for Excellence

Campaign pledge payments received this past year enabled AGS to pay down the

mortgage on the Shipley and Laboratory buildings to a balance of just $588,000.

The development of the first web-based version of the new AGS Performance Grading

Software™ and Angular Spectrum Evaluation Tool™ were highlights this past year. These

new AGS cut-grading tools became available to members through the newly established

AGS Advanced Instruments Division.

The 2005 Hollywood Conclave drew nearly 800 attendees and upheld our tradition

of excellence with premier education and social events within a strong community

atmosphere of education and professionalism. Much of the focus of last year’s Conclave

centered around providing education on the new cut grade science, grading procedures,

and cut grading tools. Peter Yantzer, CG, Diane Flora, CGA, and Jim Caudill from the

AGS /AGSL team are to be commended on an outstanding lineup of AGS cut grade

education in 2005.

The sixth annual Circle of Distinction Dinner in New York once again lived up to

its reputation as one of the industry’s finest evenings. This event has become highly

anticipated, with a genuine atmosphere of community, family, and heartfelt appreciation

for the leaders of our industry.

Other new AGS programs implemented in 2005 include a rewritten The AGS Way

Diamond Grading Manual, the continued rewrite of The AGS Way course, and

The Brightest Stars in the AGS education program held at AGS Headquarters.

The Society is growing stronger because of your commitment to the AGS standard of

business practices, proven ethics, and gemological knowledge that each of you demon-

strates on a daily basis. The leadership and staff of the American Gem Society commend

you on your professionalism and pledge to provide increasing membership value to you

in the coming years.

Our unique pressure cavity molded manufac-turing process results in a perfect shaft EVERYTIME. Traditional shaft makers bake untreatedgraphite by hanging unprocessed shafts in openair ovens, resulting in inconsistent curing anduneven wall thickness and strength. Thesegraphite shafts must be sanded and shaved(often by hand) to try to achieve proper shapeand flex.

Each of our shafts are individually cavitymolded. The specifically designed press regu-lates heat and pressure to exact standards tocreate consistent torque and flex. As a result,our shafts do not need to be sanded to perfectweight or flex and our intricate lay-up processpredetermines the shaft’s low torque. We havecomplete control over weight, flex and torque.Our manufacturing process provides the assur-ance that, for the first time, graphite shafts can bepurchased in a set and will be totally MATCHED.The reason you do not see tour pros use graphitein their irons, is that they cannot achieve consistency from iron to iron. In a driver it is not as important, because you are not hitting to precise distances. Shaftec shafts give you the consistency, up until now only available in steelshafts, with the feeland performanceof graphite.

PARALLEL BUTT DESIGN

Our unique design ensures each shaft to have theeven circumference for a uniform grip feel in bothhands. Even pressure in the hands and grip assuresidentical performance and hand action with each clubin your bag. We all know how difficult it is to matchgrips when you are applying the grips to the shorterirons that have so much taper from the butt. In fact, itis impossible to match a set of clubs using shafts thathave a continuous taper. We produce the only set ofperfectly matched graphite iron shafts available. Inaddition, the design eliminates the need for tip cuttingresulting in unparalleled consistency and optimum trajectory, distance and dispersion, as well as ease and accuracy of assembly. In fact, tip cutting voids the manufacturers warranty as it changes the shaft’s impeccable dynamics.

Continuous Flex DesignOur shafts are designed with “continuous flex design”, beginning right below the grip and continuing allthe way down the shaft. This continuous design allows a moreconsistent unleashing of poweras your swing moves through the impact zone, providing a true and continuous energyload throughout the shaft, resulting in higher club headspeed, and assuring optimumboring trajectory. When youbend the shaft, you will notice a consistent bow from the butt to the tip. The feel of the shaft is impossible to explain, you just have to swing it to experience it. We have found that a player of touring pro caliber can hit any of the flexes of the shaft and maintain accuracy, a feature unheard of in the golf industry until now.
