The Board of Directors of the Great Manhattan Mystery Conclave announces regretfully that GMMC 6 this past November was our last event. Owing to decreasing attendance, increased expenses, and the general state of the economy, the Board has decided to cease operation as a corporation.

The Board would like to thank all the participants over the years, both the authors and the fans. We are proud to have brought some of the most significant writers of "Small Town" mysteries to the Little Apple and to have provided a warm, friendly event at which enthusiasts could meet and mingle with their favorite authors.

Special thanks to Nancy Pickard for all of her help, encouragement, and friendship, and to Dennis Toll of the Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau for his valuable advice and assistance.
