The VCCC was the first vacuum cleaner collectors club, but today it is not the only one. It was started by a couple of people who met each other at the Hoover historical center. Over a short period of time, it grew into a proper club, with a president, vice president, and board members. Along the way there have been many different presidents and board members and each one brought a unique point of view. The VCCC charges dues to belong. Other vacuum cleaner collectors clubs do not. The VCCC has an annual convention that costs money for the registration fee. Dues paying club members, who pay a registration fee in addition, can come to a annual convention. Sometimes, a vacuum cleaner manufacturer is visited by the club. While the VCCC is the longest operating collectors club, other collectors clubs also have annual conventions and visit vacuum cleaner manufacturers. The difference is that there aren't nearly so many folks in the other clubs vying for attention. Many members of Vacuumland are not members of any collectors club, and get all their information from the vacuumland forum.

Bill,
As a member of the VCCC, serving for 8 years as president and now as treasurer, I would welcome you to join the VCCC. Our members are very knowledgable and share our resources well with one another. As with any club, there are dues and fees for being a part of who we are. But with that are many benefits. Our conventions are very well organized and offer many fun activities. Often times meals are provided at no expense to you the member. We typically have a buy/sell and trade area during the convention where members have the chance to share machines with one another. We try to keep hotel costs around 99.0 per night (a group our size needs a larger space than most lower cost hotels can provide). This years convention was no exception, we all had a great time touring Kirby, Cleveland Wood Products and Filter Queen. The planning committee is all ready working on next years convention and I would expect more details about that by the first of next year. Come join the fun...you won't regret it. | ||

I've been a member since 2008
I 'lurked on the sidelines" before that. My first convnetion was HOOVER'S 100th birthday. I have attended each one since. I've made friendships here thatwill last for my entire lifetime. I've learned a lot, have seen a lot, etc.
It is a great place to meet interesting people, learn about products, sell, buy, trade items, etc. You'll meet many personalities (some from just one person), lol. You'll agree, disagree, and even agree to disagree on things. I am fortunate to have met and know a fine member known as Terry lattz. He was the Membership coordinator. He met me in Ohio with a big hug. That was Terry: one of the gentlest, kindest men on the planet. Lucky were the others who were CLOSE friends with him. I am now the membership coordinator. I welcome our new mwmbers. Consider joining the group formally. Perhaps you'll make it to the convention, the pinacle of the club. You'll see photos of many mini meets throughout the contry. Several members gather regularly, once or twice a year, to celebrate, share, learn, play, share a meal, etc. You'll meet many fine individuals here at The VCCC John Long | ||
