Calling for info for Christmas VCCC Newsletter
- Thread starter gottahaveahoove
- Start date
Help Support VacuumLand:
Starting to gather all of the info now.
Sam will start putting it all together. He has some great ideas of what to do. It'll be very nice, I expect.
So, start sending him things. He spent a TON of time working on the last one. He'll do a great job again, I'm sure.

we're now in the process of getting a
special scanner to be able to print great ads.
I'm very glad to say that our membership has recently increased by 7!! That's great news.
The upcoming newsletter will touch on our new members as well.'
So... start gathering/sending info. Some have already begun to do so.
Thanks...... looking forward to a great Holiday edition.

Well, it's time
to really 'dig in' on this. Next Wed, Sam and I are meeting at his house to do the initial 'layout'. We're making some nice additions to it. We've found ads from long ago that should put us all in the 'holiday spirit'.
I've gotten a few things in the mail so far. Thank to you who sent things.
Membership has increased by 7. Things are looking up all over. We might be able to use a nice Sears ad too. Sad to see them closing...awful to think others would be happy for that. Sears, as we know, is an American institution. A piece of U.S. history is closing...turning a page.
But, NOW is the time to send us your items for publication.

I'm meeting with Sam this Wed.night.
We'll do the 'layout' for the newsletters.
We're adding a 'baking/cooking section". We'd LOVE to print some of your favorite recipes........ cookies, etc.
Just, please be sure to mention Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Pics are coming in as well as stories, the museum of clean (John Lucia).
Time is passing........ pretty soon, you'll all be having Thanksgiving dinner.
FLYING !!!

We, (Sam and I) are very eager to delve into this project.
Sam is DYING to attack this!
So, what kinds of things would YOU all like to see?
There will be LOTS of articles, etc.....
So, make the hot chocolate,roll up your sleeves, and, to quote Miss Joan Crawford. "Let's go!".

Well, we made huge progress last night at Sam's!
After very nice comfort food (home made soup), we did the newsletter layout. We're trying to use ads, pics, graphics, etc that haven't been seen in a very long time. making them almost 'new' again. You'll be amazed to find Miss Tania 'out and about', recipes, tips, ads, pics, poems, etc.
Fun things are happening.

You both are working hard on the 'current newsletters'! They are even better than the old ones in my opinion. Keep up the good work on the work that you both are actually doing! And it's not for the glory of yourselves but for the entire club. That means something in my book!

I have numerous copies of the old issues. They are great...found some interesting info in some of them (way back, and, around 2007). Several folks worked on making them happen.
The newsletter IS a lot of work. We ask for info. Sometimes, we get it. Sometimes, we don't. Luckily, Sam is super creative. We 'brainstorm', he gets an idea, I get an idea.
True, it is NOT done for US. It is done for vacuum people, collectors, especially for all members of the VCCC.
I think you're gonna really like it.
Thanks, to everyone, for your ideas and contributions.
Next one will be in the Spring... a 'pre-convention issue'

Great news!!
We actually might have more info than we need! That doesn't mean stop!! We'll put some of it in the Spring issue......(more on THAT later).
But, we got some wonderful stories, ads, pics, poems, recipes, etc.
Sam has found some wonderful art and old magazine ads.
We'll be making a roster (of 60 members), also.
So, things are looking up in a big way. Haters will be sad to hear this, but..........
We'll be working hard to bring you a great Christmas "holiday" newsletter!!!!!!

We've just purchased a special scanner.
So, Sam is now able to scan wonderful old things, right from his own home. There will be another newsletter in the Spring, including items that won't fit in this issue. Such items will be photos from Sam's December meet. The deadline for printing won't allow that.
You'll see wonderful things in this next issue.
Thanks to all who helped us with info.

Sam sent me a link to the scanner. It's great! Now he can scan in all those old ads. A couple collectors and I recently went to a vac shop closing in Kansas. I submitted all the info to Sam. It should make a nice article for the newsletter

Great news!!!
Whatever doesn't fit in THIS issue, we'll use in the next one.
We're getting lots of input! THANKS, "everyone".

We could have trivia questions, like a crossword puzzle.
For instance, I have at least 4 of these cleaners. Does anyone know the real story of this unit? What is the model? Were there more than one model of the same vac? What is the real color? It's NOT green, sorry. How, exactly, did they market these?
Pencils ready??

You are right, Kenny!
