MCA Spring Meeting Schedule - Rock Island - March 13-14


The Annual Spring meeting is upon us and we are ready to start the collecting and show season off with an exciting weekend in Rock Island, Illinois.  The conference will be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Center in Rock Island on March 13 & 14, 2015.  If you have not already made your reservations you might still call the hotel at 309-794-1212. The conference will begin on Friday and will conclude on Saturday evening. 
 
Each year we have a Gathering Room for visiting, displays, memorabilia and items for sale.   If you would like to have a display for your toys, paper goods and other memorabilia  or you want to sell some of your Massey items, please contact Gary Sager to reserve your needed vendor tables.  There is no charge for the tables.  The Gathering Room will be available for setting up your displays on Thursday evening after 7:00 p.m.  It will re-open Friday morning for set-up after 7:30 a.m.
 
The weekend will wrap up after the banquet and Auction Saturday evening.  If you have Massey related items for the auction you would like to donate that you think someone would want to buy, please bring them along.  And don’t be afraid to bid on and buy some of these same great items!!  The proceeds of the auction will help off-set the costs associated with the Conference.
