The Reno conference was
fantastic! We had 18 attendees, three
of whom were new. Several of the past attendees were unable to come due to (we
hope) temporary medical issues. On Sunday we had a great dinner
together at the Italian restaurant at the Eldorado. The food and the
fellowship were excellent. Our meeting was Monday, August 15,
and we explored No Evil Monkey websites in depth, including http://three-monkeys.info/ and http://thethreemonkeys.com/. We also looked at the items for sale at the
Three Monkeys Store on the Etsy website: https://etsy.com/shop/ThreeMonkeysStore. In addition, Robert McRae gave a
speech and slide presentation on the No Evil Monkeys, which he had given to a
civic group in his hometown in Texas. We also shared pictures and videos of
the No Evil Monkeys from some of our collections and travels, and several
collectors showed pieces that they had found in antique stores in the area in
the days before the conference began. In the afternoon, we had our No
Evil Monkey sale, with several beautiful sets of monkeys (and other No Evil
critters) and books changing hands and homes. Tuesday was dedicated to
individual and small group sightseeing in the Reno area, which included
beautiful Lake Tahoe and historic Virginia City (where there was once a great
gold rush and Samuel Clemens first used his nom de plume “Mark Twain”). On
Wednesday morning, we met briefly for hugs and goodbyes. Next year’s conference will be
held in Kansas City (probably Kansas City, Kansas, but there is also a Kansas
City, Missouri) from June 8 – 11, 2017.
Many of the collectors who were unable to attend this year have
indicated that they intend to attend in 2017.
It promises to be our largest gathering ever! Gregg
