Welcome!
The Fisher-Price Collectors Club
is of a group of people who share a love for
Fisher-Price Toys. Name any line of toy, and we probably have some member
who has every one (and in every color scheme, plus every rare variation, and
of course mint in the unopened box!).
We have members who run the spectrum - some collect
everything Fisher-Price; some collect only very specific lines
of toys like the Little People sets or wind-up toys; and some only own a few items that
catch their eye.
We span the ages and generations, and have
members from all over the USA and Canada, and even
international members too! Some members have only a
couple of favorite toys on display, while others have
their entire houses (and storage units as well!) filled and decorated with Fisher-Price toys!
If you have an interest in Fisher-Price toys, we would love for you to join the club! Your membership alone will help
us meet our goals of promoting and preserving Fisher-Price toys, and bringing everyone together! Membership runs for one year; renewal
notices are sent over the summer for the next following year.

When the club processes your application, you will be sent a welcome gift. :) Since we are
run by volunteers, sometimes applications can take a couple of weeks to process.
Your Membership is for one year, and runs from mid-summer to mid-summer. When it's time to renew membership, the fall newsletter will
have an reminder.
If you are joining during other times of the year, dues are not pro-rated, but you will be sent the
prior newsletters from earlier in that membership calendar year. And that's it! You are in! Scroll on down below to

Membership Overview:
The Fisher-Price Collectors Club first formed in 1993 by our founder Jeanne, and we been together
for over 30 years! The club is run by a dedicated volunteer Board (usually about 10 people), and a very dedicated volunteer
group of officers (president, vice president(s), treasurer, secretary, webmaster). As a member in the club, people
receive our newsletter The Gabby Goose, usually sent 3 times a year (typically in July, November and the Spring).
The newsletter contains a variety of topics: historical articles about Fisher-Price toys; sometimes a fun and games page;
updates about club members (births, new grandkids, graduations, etc); rummage finds and flea market treasures;
"Getting to know you" page; articles about rare toys or variations; Convention news and photos, and the like. The articles in the newsletter
are submitted by club members themselves, so we always encourage people to write and share with
others! We often also have other mailings throughout the year to share news or convention updates.
As a member of the club, you will be invited to attend our annual convention, held during the last full weekend
of July in East Aurora NY. East Aurora NY is the home of Fisher-Price toys; it is where the first factory was built, and
where corporate headquarters is today. The convention usually consists of a social hour, a sit-down dinner, and a Toy Show and sale, plus
other events (one year we had private tours of the Fisher-Price factory!). The Toy Sale is
a one-of-a-kind event, there is nothing like it! You can buy or sell your classic toys there - with Little People,
wooden pull toys, and other classic Fisher-Price toys being the primary toys for sale. The club is unique that we
always get together in "real life" once a year, so people can meet and chat, buy and sell toys, and share their experiences!
Membership in the club also helps us with our charitable efforts. The Fisher-Price Collectors Club has been involved in
supporting many children's charities which include "Hunter's Hope", Make-a-Wish, Buffalo Area flood relief, and
helping feed local children in need. Supporting charities and helping the community have always been very important to
the club, and membership dues help us greatly in that aspect!
Even if you live far from East Aurora and may not be able to attend conventions, your membership alone will help the club
with our goals - to preserve and protect Fisher-Price toys; help our charitable activities, and continue to provide a venue
to bring together people who enjoy Fisher-Price toys!
