CONVENTION 2013 MILWAUKEE

VacuumLand – Vintage & Modern Vacuum Enthusiasts

Help Support VacuumLand:

Time to bump this up again. I know who has registered and has made a hotel reservation and who has not. I know plenty of folks that are coming and have done neither.

Do I have to start naming names? Please register is you are attending and get your room before the rate changes. It helps the planning committee a LOT if we know how many are attending.

Please, please, please, for once, follow through and follow up!

Move to Vintage as Vacuum Related Conventions, Mini-Meets and other gatherings will be announced here as Vintage is a public forum.
 
I will be in Indiana during the convention ...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... so sadly this will be yet another Convention that I'll have to miss.  Hopefully, however, I'll be able to catch next year's -- especially as rumor has it that it will be in Cleveland (unless I heard wrong?).  That would be a cinch for me to get to!  Meantime, here's wishing all who'll be attending Milwaukee a most excellent time!</span>

I found out today.................

that as of today, April 28th, we have 17, yes, SEVENTEEN, members registered for the 2013 convention.

I will be talking to Duane and Tania about this, but it would seem to me if we have less than 40 members registered by the cutoff date of May20th, then maybe we should cancel.

Too much work and planning has gone into making the 2013 Milwaukee Convention for only 17 people to show up. We even have a new-in-the box vacuum as part of the raffle! Registered attendees, (registering BEFORE the convention and not at the door), are eligible for 5 free tickets for this vacuum as I last heard from the Board. (This may be subject to change.)

It would cost the club less to cancel than to put on a convention for 17 people. Unless the numbers change fast and soon, the 2013 Milwaukee Convention will be a pipe dream.

Thank you John for supporting the convention and making a commitment. With you and Joe, we are at about the 1/2 way mark to the break even point.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">Billy Lipman and I are coming. I just made the hotel reservation. Very easy at the number you gave us of 414-481-2400. A nice man named Joel helped me. He also told me that I could reserve the room at the same rate on WEDNESDAY, since I was part of the VCCC group. So, rather than struggle to get to the Convention at a reasonable time on Thursday (it's almost never before 7 PM when you come from the West Coast), I will arrive a day early and be relaxed.</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">One question though: I kinda lost my way trying to find the PayPal button for registration. I found the one for JOINING the VCCC, but where is the button to pay for registration? I found the registration form, but not the button. </span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">OK....never mind. I found it. Go to Vacuumland's home page. Then to the one that says something like Vacuum Clubs, then the one for the VCCC convention. There is a PayPal registration link there. </span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">I should really pay more attention.......J</span>

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">Phillip, I'm glad you'll be there, too. Start vacuumin' now, so you can get in practice....</span>
 
Question / Display vacs

I only have one vacuum cleaner that may be worth showing off.... a little... maybe.
Do I bring it along? Is there some place to put it for viewing if someone wishes?
