Already for this years Convention so so excited!!!

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks, everyone.

What was Brother Chris's last name?


  I'm not getting photos, etc... the memorial book might just be a book with names. In time, perhaps, I'll add pics/little stories,etc.


If members can think of any others, please feel free.  I'd hate to slight anyone.

 We'll laugh from the minute we enter the hotel until it's all over.


 Yay!

John, Brother Chris was Chris Lambert. He passed away last year but I don't have the dates. The church sent me as well as many vccc members a letter letting us know he had passed. He was a very sweet man who did so much for his community. He was one of the busiest people I knew, very active in the church.

Thanks, Fred!

I've been chatting with Chad, Bill Edstrom, etc....it looks like it's going to be a great event. There are a few 'clinics' I believe, a nice trip to a very large store, events, sales, raffles, contests, yes, a banquet which everyone loves to attend.
I'm bringing things to sell, trade, as well as personally contributing numerous items (some NEW in box), to the raffle. We're getting things very organized, to ensure a smooth event.
I hope to see a lot of you there.

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Can't wait!  So excited to be back with friends who have been so supportive and kind.  And, as John said so eloquently, "NO KEVIN"</span>

Almost already packed to

I truly cannot wait to go this year last 4 weeks have been sure hell for me and I hope by the time this convention is I will be 100% better regardless I am going no matter how I feel. I have been suffering from Vertigo for 4 weeks now having problems standing, and walking. I have been to my physician and have a couple more tests to determine my cause of vertigo. Besides my little health drama the only thing that is making me happy is going to the convention this year and spending time with my good friend John and other friends of the Convention group.

I sent my registration in last week!!! woohoo Will book the hotel tonight!!!! We are driving from Kansas (approx. 9 hrs) and hope to arrive Wednesday afternoon/evening for the pre show

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Sam is coming to my house from Florida.

We're driving to Chicago. God help us!! It's about a 13 hour drive. Hopefully, neither of us will be riding in the trunk or as a hood ornament. We've always gotten along so well. It'll be memorable, I'm sure . I'm polishing up some items and filling the front living room with things to take. "Happy Dance"

[kirbyvertibles]

It's about a 9 hour drive for me.
So how many have booked now at this point? Who's bringing vacs?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'm bringing vacs

Some are HOOVER, some are not. Some are for sale, trade, etc...
I'm also contributing a lot to the raffle.
We're making this convention easy, simple, streamlined, and FUN.
It'll be organized, etc. There are a few surprises...................
It will be wonderful to see everyone again as well as some new people.

I'm having "Vacuum" towels made for the conventi

I gave them to the monogram er yesterday. He's not surprised anymore. He plugs them into the machine and keeps them for me.
You'll be surprised to know I'm making Hoover, of course, Kirby, G.E. and Electrolux towels. I thought I'd make a nice array "across the board". I still have to get him the lux and Kirby logo.... He's started on the Hoover and GE.
It'll be fun, I'm sure.
