Sure wish I could attend. Covid numbers are going up here and now that masks on planes are not required, I won't be flying anywhere.
Now we are short staffed at work again so getting any time off is almost impossible. I have 520 hours to use and have not been earning the benefit....covid sucks!
Glad to see that Scott is going to be able to make it. Miss many of the good folks who attend.

It will be great to see our members again in a group.
I really was hoping you'd be here, in Scranton and at my house.

"Hoover Model 65----anyone have--?"
Yes
Yes
getting things ready slowly
Tom Anderson will be here n a few weeks. That'll be awesome. I think he'll help me display some vintage machines...perhaps the stick vacs, etc.... I want his opinions on my collection. I'll even cook some fun things for us. I'm told I'm a pretty good 'host'. From fancy dinners to casual cookouts/barbecues, to even a garden party. Some will like it. Critics, well... they won't even be here, so, who really cares? Michael Turner was so right!

I'll be posting some
pics of our local area, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. famous bridges, universities, landmarks, museums, civic centers, and a few different vacuum shops. plus, the progress pn this old place as well as the plans for dinner. Yes, I think we'll "kick off Summer" with a nice casual yet comfy and fun garden party. Why not? Right?

My sister has been known to host a few of them.
SHE is a hostess.
I am a host. There really is quite a difference.
I've hosted various types of gatherings.
This one will be festive, indeed.

I stopped in the hotel yesterday
just to check on things. Our members need to remember to mention The VCCC.
I'm gathering all of my bojack bags, tools, etc, to give to others.
Some are actually made FOR others BY Hoover. They did that a lot. I stood in Bag plant #2, where it all happened. They told me that the large roll of exclusive filter paper came from my "neck of the woods", the Poconos.
I'm sure some of our friends will appreciate all of these items.

I'm planning on bringing out
a lot of "private labeled" machines which were made by Hoover. For example, I have a Blue Lustre shampooer MADE by HOOVER. It's from the vault.

Question....
Any chance there is going to be a posted list of events, days and time frames? For anyone that is vascillating, it could be helpful to know what happens on each day and the approximate times planned.
Thank you.

Charlie, I heard you were coming.
I told you, long ago, that you'd be welcomed. All events aren't totally finalized, but..................we're hopefully attending THe Anthracite Museum, dinner at my home Fri p.m., lunch at Joe's on Sat, The 'dinner' is Sat p.m. at a local Italian restaurant. Are there certain thing you're going to miss?

calling 3 carpenters this week. Fingers crossed
Really gotta get things in gear here. Tom Anderson is coming before to help me. That'll be a wonderful visit, no doubt.
Looks like a nice group will be coming. I'm getting sale items boxed and ready to go.

A few folks have asked what vacuum shops are going to be visited. They want to google them so they have an idea where they are. Any names?
And to be clear, there is no banquet at the hotel? It will be held in a different venue? There will be a meeting room for vacuums to display with areas for buy/sell/trade? Will that be at the hotel?
Thanks in advance!
PS--just saw that the banquet is at a local restaurant.

Yes, the dinner will be at a local, excellent Italian
restaurant. Folks are asking about vac shops... to google? That's interesting. All of that will be in print as soon as it is in "ink". I still have to contact the 2nd one.
All of the events will be fun, I'm sure.

And, yes, there will be a meeting room
at the hotel, as well as a separate room for hospitality, etc. It's directly across the hall. We'll better determine if one room will be for snacks, sale and raffle items.

It's a different setup than other conventions
due to the physical plant at the hotel. The place is only 10 yrs old. It's a nice setup. I hope others will like it. There are actually 2 hotels: one has 2 beds per room, the other 1 King, same price, One building will house the meeting space.
Sometimes different is good too. It'll just be great to get together again after such a long distance, having to cancel Georgia twice.
We'll have masks, too, if anyone feels the need. We can even provide gloves, if need be. We'll accommodate.

will be serving coffee, water, sodas and, yes
the famed iced tea. And, no, not from an asylum that "I" may or may not have escaped from and am still running around. Isn't that silly and incredible? Nope.no fruit cocktail or old lemon extract dumped in it.
But...... that's just silly.
I hope all will enjoy the tasty, refreshing beverage.
Know who your friends are.
