Meetings

The club meets four times per year – typically on the second Saturday of the month in March, May, August and October. In addition, the club also gathers for a Christmas party in December when members enjoy a meal using their Heisey glass.

 

Meetings are held in members’ homes. Meetings include:
 

  • Club business.

  • An educational program on an aspect of Heisey glass or other topics related to the work of A.H. Heisey and Company.

  • Refreshments and socializing.

 

Fundraising

 

The club holds a small auction and raffle of donated Heisey glassware during its May meeting. Funds raised through these activities are donated to the National Heisey Glass Museum.

Northwoods origin

Odell and Virginia Johnson, who had organized a Heisey club in Florida, decided to see if there was sufficient interest to organize a club in Minnesota. In fall 2000, they posted an invitation in the national Heisey newsletter inviting people to their home in Bloomington. Twelve people with interest and enthusiasm in the possibility of a club in Minnesota attended.

Several months later the group met again and organized the club with a constitution and by-laws as required by Heisey Collectors of America, Inc. They elected officers, set dues and established a calendar of regular meetings.
