The Golden Gate Gene Club had it's first meeting of the year, a casual Affair just getting together with fellow club members, and catching up on the latest happenings at IDEX and the meeting would not be complete without the ever popular show and tell tme sharing our latest dolly finds. Larry Pemble graciously started out the meeting talking about his experiences of setting up the Ashton Drake booth at both IDEX and Toy Fair.

Vera Swanson than gave a very informative talk about the history of the Théâtre de la Mode Collection. She also shared some great resource books with us. Besides munching out on tasty fixings members shared dolls that ranged from Lollipop Girls, Trent and Wendy Lawton Dolls to Vivian, Bleuette, and many Tonner gals.
