The club meets the third Friday of each month at 2:00 p.m. They normally meet at a centrally located restaurant, but since last March, they have been meeting by Zoom because of Covid-19. The members range in age from their 20′s – 70′s, and their collections vary from Vintage to Modern to One-Of-A-Kinds. In July of 2017, the club hosted the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention at the Hyatt Regency downtown.
