Yes we are!
Yes we are still active. Our annual convention will be in Kansas City this year. More details are on our website.
We no longer have ties to VacuumLand. Since it was split several years ago. We are using our own site to communicate information about our annual convention. Kenneth Loveland VCCC Treasurer CLICK HERE TO GO TO kloveland's LINK | ||

~ Oh okay, I looked at the VCCC web site and remembered why I hadn't ever joined the "new" club. Since all that you get for your dues is entrance to the annual meeting, there was (and is) no point in my joining since I can never attend the meetings (unless they're in Southern California) due to my work schedule. If there were other 'perks' such as newsletters (as there used to be), that might make it more worthwhile to join. | ||

It would be nice if they had a convention here on the east coast or even as far west as Ohio so the members and former members could attend again. | ||

Well, now that you've mentioned it.....................
plans are being made (as we speak) of generating a new, nice, clear, concise newsletter.
There are also conventions being planned a few years in advance. One of them possibly being held in Scranton, Pennsylvania.......... easily accessible to everyone on the "East Coast" as well. I "lurked" before joining in 2008, in time to attend "Happy Birthday, HOOVER", in North Canton. Luckily, I missed most of the drama before that. But, the info is all in print in the minutes from the meetings. Some people have left. Some chose to. Some were made to. Some look back on it fondly, making lifelong friendships. Some live to bash the group, possible, because they are no longer a part of it. NOT getting into any drama here. The club meets annually, in various locations. Yes, memories are shared, new ones made. Friendships are rekindled, some new ones formed. As far as hotels, in this day and age, the competitive market is a challenge. Barb Mac Millan did a fine job booking, organizing, along w/ others. So, if/when it comes to NE Pennsylvania................... it'll be easy. And, Scranton is THREE MILES FROM THE AIRPORT!! But, like us . or don't. But, there really is no need to bash. Unless you love to do that sort of thing. | ||

For example:
there are several people I've heard of for years. Some, I'd look forward to meeting. Some HAVE met me, IN PERSON, and were "amazed" at "how different I actually was FROM WHAT THEY HAD HEARD". I've been called everything under the sun. But, I'd open my door to you, invite you to share a meal, share vacuums. Then, IF you bashed me, mocked me, you'd never see my door again.
See how it works? Kinda like the old Hoover ad: "Try before you buy". Well, See before you bash. You might be amazed. | ||

Hello @ compactc9guy. I too am a fellow Canadian with an interest in older vacuums. I wish there was more here. | ||
