[gottahaveahoove]

Forget?????

Silly boy, they're already packed!
You DO know how3 "that" started, right? It was Bill Edstrom's idea... HIS gloves. See?? Nobody knew THAT!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

You know Bill...............

the "Kirby guy"...... and a true gentleman.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

If Bill does a Kirby clinic,

I'll gladly assist him.

 

[kloveland]

Me too! Bill knows his Kirbys after all he owns an authorized Kirby repair center. I know some of our club members will go home with treasures this year. In fact we might be overwhelmed with vacs this year in addition to our big for sale and free piles. It's going to be a wonderful convention! And it's less than two weeks away!

Hope to see you all in Tulsa,
Kenny

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I won't be able to bring any machines, as

I'm flying. I'm glad there will be so many machines. I KNOW there are some great things planned. Everyone will be pleased, no doubt.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

So much fun ahead

Kenny, I'll gladly help you w/ the tacos, if you need/want my help. I know everyone will love the events planned. We're getting a nice count, too. ...honest numbers......not too big, not too small. just right.

 

[kloveland]

I really appreciate that John! I know I will need some help browning the meat. We could even use one of my Hoover frying pans. I know you will feel at home in my kitchen with the Hoover blender, can opener, mixer and electric knife if we need it. Hopefully, we can whip up something for a dessert as well.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I can whip up soemthing.

Do you have a 'whip'?
Just kidding. well, maybe.

 

[toddk13]

I thought that it was a joke

Then I found "Hoover electric skillet". Neat.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

We kid about a lot...................

but, not about Hoover appliances, lol

 

[kloveland]

We take our appliances seriously! And I know there will be plenty to go around at this convention! Just you wait.....

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Hoover Blender...... Hmmmm I may have one in my for sale pile but if it doesn't sell i'll gladly keep.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

As you may know, LAST year,

we compiled an "In Memoriam" book, listing all V.C.C.C. members who have passed away. I'll make a new sheet for ANY member who has died THIS past year. PLEASE list them, and any inf about them here, so I can prepare before we all gather in Tulsa.
Many thanks, John, Vice Pres, V.C.C.C.

Bring your own spatula party...

John and Kenny,
You may need more than two Hoover Skillets to prepare a meal for 40 hungry VCCC members! John maybe you can bring one or two with you, tell the TSA it's your service animal or wear it as a hat. If Jackie could wear a wool pill box hat you can wear stainless steel! I would bring my chafing dishes but I think I misplaced them in the move, the last time I saw them in Texas Barbie and Midge were using one as a therapeutic pool.
See everyone in in two weeks and two days!!!
Sean

 

[alexb1186]

It cannot get here soon enough

I have never been to Tulsa and two of my Council Oak Chorus friends live behind the hotel as a bonus!

Everybody pray that I get my phone back before Thursday, someone stole it while I was performing with GMC last night and took it across the street to the ecoATM in the Collinsville Walmart!

Anybody have their shopping lists ready so I can scavenge through the garage and the basement?

 

[vac-o-matic]

have been trying to reach you...now I know why no answer!

 

[vacuumlad1650]

No Wonder I didnt hear from you, Alex..in that case did the money for the Convertibles arrive safely?
Best

 

[swivelsean]

Shopping at Alex's?

Alex,
It's hard to believe only two years ago you hosted the VCCC at your wonderful home in Ferguson. Picking through your garage and basement was so much fun. Seeing your collection was great also. I still have the GE Swivel Top you where kind enough to give me. Are you taking orders from your supply? I'll be selling a lot of paper myself including M. Wards catalogs, vac parts catalogs, manufacturer paper, and vintage home magazines. Let me know if you are interested in anything.
Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else soon,
Sean

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Everything is just about ready to go.

We'll all be together again in just a few short days. My cat sitter came last night for her key and instructions for my two little beasts. They know her: she 'was' Sister Nancy. not, just Nancy.
See y'all soon.
yay!

 

[alexb1186]

PS I got my phone back so all is well with the world!

Sean, I cleaned up pun intended on Wards catalogs at a sale last year in Alton at the estate of the Wards Catalog Store Credit Manager.

Andy I got your $ on the Model 31s and Ken has ben authorized to release them.

I have a BNIB Anniversary Windtunnel I got in Minneapolis a few years ago I'm willing to let go....

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Thanks Alex!
Oh good, I was worried I may have to put up more Bail...
Andy

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I thought I'd send a box of materials ahead.

I went to the post office. $79.00 to ship a BOX !!!!!
So, I may be checking a bag. Outrageous.
But, the shirts, gloves, hazmat suit (kidding) (?) etc are all packed.
Some people never got the 'glove thing'. That's unfortunate.
I'll be helping Kenny cook, and will bake something. Maybe, if he likes, I'll even make that famous (notorious) "Pittston Hospital Iced Tea". I've started making it again, as it is so hot now. Most people love it. Only one of my friends doesn't prefer it. That's OK, too.

 

[kloveland]

Alex,

I'm glad you are coming! Guest are already starting to arrive. I had a nice evening with Tania last night! She is staying in another hotel not far from my house. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

It's going to be a great convention,
Kenny

 

[kloveland]

John,

Anything that you want to do to help is greatly appreciated! And yes, Pittston Hospital Iced Tea would be wonderful! I have plenty of kitchen space to bake / prepare meals and homemade desserts would be great. There may even be a u4123 around here too!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll bring the recipes.

We'll need to grocery shop.

 

[wesley]

Im Wesley from South Africa, i wish things like that could take place here as well it would be so much fun i can just place myself in such an activity enjoy everyone.

 

[kloveland]

Wesley, we would love to have you!

John, we have choices for grocery shopping. We just got a Costco about a year ago. We also have a Sam's club. I think the best place to go would be Reasors which is a family owned chain of grocery stores here in Tulsa!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I got the grass cut yesterday after school.

Bag is ready, recipes are in it, a special item for the raffle is ready. Some people might REALLY appreciate/enjoy it. I had it made in Philadelphia. You'll see it soon.
Leaving Pittston at 5:15 tonight.
Will be great to see everyone. I heard the true count of attendees is just OVER 30, an actual number.

"Safe travels, everyone"
John
