Well, despite COVID 19, etc.. preparations are being made for the next newsletter.
Now is the time to send ads, photos, stories, recipes, etc. We will be spotlighting a well-known vac shop owned by one of our great members. We're also starting a 'history of vacuum companies' , starting with the first: Hoover. We'll update the roster, as, we've gotten many new members since the Holiday issue came out. The V.C.C.C. stands for The Vacuum Cleaner Collectors' Club. It is a registered corporation, registered, and registered with banks. IT is allowed to be recognized as [ The V.C.C.C.] Keeping things correct and legal. So, get ready for a beautiful Summertime newsletter. John, Vice president, VCCC | ||

Great news!
I just spoke with Kim Jo, and she's very eager to use her creativity by helping with the next edition. I'll get the past 2 copies to her just as an idea . No doubt, she'll add her touches, and it will be wonderful. We will be spotlighting a great vacuum shop in it as well as many other great things.
So...... start getting YOUR ideas, pic, ads, articles, tips, recipes, etc ready. | ||

Well , a copy of the last two issues
went to 'Kim Jo' yesterday, so she can get an 'idea' of what they've looked like.We already have a few wonderful news stories, clips, a spotlight on a great vac shop, owned by one of our members, some neat ads, the historical beginning of an iconic vacuum company, (The Hoover Company), a few recipes, cleaning/restoration tips, etc.
It will be different, fresh, and fun. Kim Jo is a wonderfully talented woman. I'm dying to see what this issue will look like when it's done. So, keep sending things, as the window will soon close. | ||

Amazing that
the newsletter is rapidly coming together!!!
There are some very neat things in it. Before you know it, it will be at the printer's office. Then....... uhuh, we'll be working on the next one. This time, we focused on the beginning of The Hoover Co, being that it's birthday is in August. We'll focus on a different vacuum company in the next issue. Which one will it be? Open to your thoughts. | ||

Late
Looks like I'm a bit late on replying, but the owner of this vacuum shop was a dealer for royal, and still is. When he was a kid he was very fascinated with the Royals, and now he owns two shops. One shop is in Vacaville, California, and his other shop is in Fairfield, California, which is the bigger of the two. He's got a bunch of 80's 90's and 2000's vacs that are rare and new in the box. I am hopefully about to buy a Dirt Devil Ultra MVP from him. The owners name of the shop is Tom Matthews. His website for both shops is: www.allinonevac.com/... . They are dealers for Sanitaire, Simplicity, Dyson, Sirena, Hoover, Lindhaus, Royal, and Carpet Pro. I don't know if he collects or not, it seems like he doesn't. But the shop prides them selves on great customer service. If you check out the website you'll probably get even more information.

Well, a few more tidbits,
a little refining, and our Summer issue will be at the printer. Kim Jo has done a stellar job. She takes the smallest idea and does fab things. I can only imagine what the Christmas "Holiday" one will look like., We'll also be focusing on another vacuum company for that one. Not sure which one, yet.

Yes, Mr. Gravelin, I'm totally aware of
all of that. But, it really isn't up to you OR necessary to step in there. I told Sam I will get that newsletter (he does have a a copy of the drive, after all, he made the thing with me), and the pillows . I've been a little busy recently.
Again, perhaps he appreciates you stepping in, but it really is of no concern to you. I will get that done, but, not because you are urging me to do it. You have lots to do for yourself, also. | ||

This thread is about the newsletter.
WE can discuss anything in messenger, I've unblocked you for that purpose. IF you care to discuss.
I'm NOT getting into a match with you. As far as Tom posting for me... I was in his home, using his computer. I shared my trip for others to enjoy and see.As far as jabs. are you kidding?? Private messenger. This thread is for the newsletter. I thanked Sam over and over. Everyone knows the hard work he put into them. As did I... nights of hard work on my part as well. Sorry, everyone else, for this display. | ||

I know, it seems crazy, but............................
We're just thinking/brainstorming about the next issue.
We'll spotlight a different vac company, add recipes, ads, photos, stories. What would YOU members like to see? There are some fantastic VINTAGE vac photos, info, etc. So, elegant, kitschy, whimsical. all of the above? Start thinking about comfort food recipes............ Time will go fast. Thanks, in advance. | ||

Oh, for crying out loud While I am no longer a member of the VCCC I feel I can speak here as a former member for many years, former Webmaster and co-creator of this site as well as newsletter editor for a number of years (and former board member.) Also, since this site is no longer affiliated with the VCCC I feel I can express my opinion on this thread.
A large part of what the members of the VCCC expect for the dues paid is 4 newsletters a year. In a number of surveys of the members, this is one of the most important expectations of the dues payment. This is especially important since there was no convention this year. I was newsletter editor for a number of years and also solicited items to be included but didn't badger people for contributions. Usually I didn’t get enough contributions for a complete newsletter, but as editor made it my business to gather everything necessary on my own to get the newsletter out on a timely basis. We always did – 4 a year. You are giving the members a good reason to not pay their dues. What do they get for them?
This thread about the VCCC newsletter has been going on for months now and still no newsletter. It appears that the last newsletter was published around Christmas and it is now almost the end of August. That means two newsletters should have been issued and you should be preparing the third. I am tired of hearing about how this is not getting done. Take it offline please. And strictly speaking, this thread should not be on the Vintage Forum it should be in Miscellanea, if it is anywhere here at all. This post was last edited 08/19/2020 at 17:55 | ||

'For crying out loud"?
Fred, I'm sensing hostility. I'm so sorry you're upset.. WE never hear from you. Yes, we have a newsletter. Yes, perhaps we have made decisions on how many to issue. But, if you're longer associated with The VCCC, why would you really care about that at all? People love the newsletter. We've even gotten 8 new members since last year. Some are former members. I ask for info, and I get it. Anyone who EVER worked on a letter knows the work involved. I don't think I've badgered anyone. I didn't ever realize I was or could even badger. Folks, IF you feel you've been badgered, I humbly apologize. But, as will all posts, if anyone doesn't like a post, or a poster, for that matter, we can simply ignore it or even block it.
You and I, Fred, never had a cross word. We barely spoke at all. We all enjoyed all of your posts about your collection, and we can't forget Tarantula Arms, fun times. I, again, wish to thank Robert for allowing us to speak in here. This is the only venue where everyone can see everything. Others post mini meets, or even conventions or meetings of any kind. We appreciate that. I could mention that there are loads of VINTAGE vacuums in this newsletter, keeping it a valid, vintage worthy post. So, Fred, it's nice to see you. I hope you're not too angry . Are you upset with me? Please, please feel free to email me privately, as, nobody wants/needs to see still another display in here. Not intending to badger.... Thanks, so much. | ||

Joe Excuse me? Easy to sit at my computer and “wine” (sic) and complain? I sat at my computer for years and published 4 issues of the newsletter a year without whining and complaining. This thread has no place here as this is supposed to be a place to discuss vintage vacuum cleaners, not continuously solicit material that the VCCC newsletter editor should be gathering as editor. But it goes on and on and on. The newsletter editor keeps moving it to the top of this forum and subjecting non-VCCC members to the problems of the VCCC on an inappropriate forum. I am just saying as having years of experience of doing that job, do your job and get on with it.
And let me remind you, this site no longer belongs to the VCCC. This is an open forum for any person interested in vacuum cleaners and people are generally welcome to express their opinion here. | ||

Well, Fred,
I'm not going to belabor anything. I'm also not complaining OR whining. As you mentioned, it is a place for all to post. And, I do. I'm not begging people for things. And, we all have prepared a newsletter differently.
I mean you NO harm at all. I also don't deserve to be insulted. I'm not getting involved in a "thing" in here. Peace to you, Fred, "Ida". | ||
