Presidents Message

  

Hello Everyone,

        Finally spring is here and I hope everyone who attended the Chicagoland show had a good time with selling and purchasing. The show will have been the last time at Grayslake Fairgrounds. The Chicagoland show will now be at the Schaumburg Convention center, October 24 and 25th. I myself am looking forward to the new location. New faces and new buyers.

      As you all know, we will have to look for a new host hotel for our new homebase. I have started the process as I write this letter, I am trying for Hilton affiliated hotel. Once one has been established, I will let everyone know.

        There has been another local gathering here in Ohio, it was held at the residence of Stacy andDesiree Wills.  Stacy and Desiree were the perfect host, they had a good turnout, approximately 50 people showed up. What a fantastic collection of coin-op Machines, cookie jars, and beautiful collection of glassware plus more.

       I believe Jamie Fleck and John Costa were the furthest travelers from Texas. There was also plenty of food. Everyone should consider having a local gathering for their area. If you need help with this process, I would be glad to help advertise it for your event, just figure a date you would like to have it. I plan on helping others here in Ohio to do this again with other collections. I hope everyone has a great summer and good luck hunting for fantastic finds.

     Until we meet again,

               John Fifer- President
