I've been thinking....... (Yes, usually a dangerous thing for me hahaha!) Now that my workshop is in order, it would be fun to host a "Southern California Mini-Meet" here at Casa Electrolux if I can get enough people interested.

I have some machines that will be fun to show, even though my collection is nowhere nearly as huge as it used to me, and I may have a few give-aways or door prizes (but not much -- along with thinning out my collection, I've drastically reduced my stockpile of parts and stuff). Other folks could bring things to give away or trade or sell to attendees, and, of course, bring a few treasures to show off!

We could do a potluck sort of meal or we could go out somewhere to eat. But I think a potluck would be more fun.

What do y'all think? I'm going to email all the local collectors I know and run the idea by them. Would you be willing to contact the people in the area whom you know? (Not having been in the VCCC for so long I am sure there are newer members in SoCal that I haven't met; also some of the email addresses I have for local collectors are dead.)

In asking around, we could also ask what time-frame would be best. Any Saturday except third Saturdays (prior commitment) or Sunday would be good for me with Saturday being the best as I'd have the whole day free, and pretty much any time of the year. I'm thinking maybe mid-late August. That would give us some time to find everyone.

So whatcha think?! I say LET'S DO IT!!

Sounds like a lot of fun.  It would be nice to finally meet other collectors face to face.

Alright, I'll start making a list. Again, please get in touch with your local collector buddies and ask them to get in touch with me! "The more the merrier!"

P.S. I'm going to rename this "The West Coast Mini-Meet" since some folks may be coming from up north!
