Membership Information

Several times a year, members receive an electronic newsletter featuring club news, articles about collecting and doll shows, member insights, ​and more!

Every new member receives a membership card and a beautiful full-color, soft enameled pin of the club's current logo. Annually, all members receive a Member Directory. And you never know when members might receive a surprise gift or treat...

Member meetings are held monthly. Each month, a member serves as host of the meeting and guides how the theme will be represented.

As part of our meetings, members can buy chances to win a variety of items donated by other generous members. Funds raised support the club's various activities. Contests are sometimes also held, related to meeting themes.

WCC often engages in toy drives, fundraising, and other charitable activities to support our community.

WCC plans dinners and other social events to support a local charity. We also look for opportunities to offer workshops and other doll-related activities beyond our meetings.

One of the greatest benefits to joining WCC is the connection you'll make with other doll collectors, leading to many fun experiences and lasting friendships. Sharing our hobby is what it's all about!

All individuals are invited to join the Windy City Collectors public Facebook group. Members are also encouraged to join our exclusive WCC Members Only Business Group on Facebook.

WCC participates in the National Collectors Steering Committee, which helps guide aspects of the annual National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention. As a WCC member, you'll be invited to comment and vote on various Convention-related concerns.

All members are encouraged to participate in various club-related support and activities. Want to host a workshop, write an article, or lead one of our committees? Volunteers are needed and encouraged!
