This page -- indeed, this entire site -- is under construction.
If you're looking for the Peanuts FAQ, the many articles on Vince Guaraldi, the extensive
interview with David Michaelis, the Peanuts Tattoo Page, the lists of links, Charles M. Schulz
Museum exhibit information, lists of places to shop for Peanuts products or any of the many,
many other articles, lists and collections of information that PCC members Derrick Bang and
Scott McGuire have put together, then visit them at their new home, at
www.FiveCentsPlease.org. You'll find all of their
archived information, along with the same ongoing updates they've brought Peanuts fans for
the past many years.
As far as this site, and the Peanuts Collector Club itself ... read on!
The Club is undergoing a transformation during 2008, and in the meanwhile
is not accepting new members or membership renewals. Keep watching this space, and
details about the "new" Peanuts Collector Club will be posted as they become available.
Meanwhile, here's an important message from new Club president Kathy Magrane:
As PCC members know, founder Andrea Podley has stepped down from the Peanuts Collector Club with the summer/autumn 2008 issue of the
quarterly Club newsletter, after 25 amazing years of service to collectors of Peanuts memorabilia. The Club has been a wonderful conduit
for sharing a similar passion with fellow collectors worldwide, and I know you all join me in saying a heartfelt THANK YOU and sending
a BIG BEAGLE HUG Andrea's way.
If the success of the Club can be measured by the shared smiles at Beaglefest, friendships formed and how much our lives have been
enriched by the Club experience, then it would be safe to say that the PCC has been far more successful than any Fortune 500 company.
This wonderful spirit of community, and keeping it moving forward, has motivated me to step up as President of the Peanuts Collector
Club and help transition the Club into a new era.
I have been truly inspired by all the supportive e-mails since Andrea announced this transition in a previous newsletter. Offers to
help ... encouraging words ... ideas and suggestions ... all of which speak volumes to how much the Club means to everyone.
The mission of the Club remains the same: to be the premier destination for fans of the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz,
and its memorabilia.
I do have some planned enhancements that I hope will bring a new measure of value to your Club membership:
Redesigned Web site
New look; dynamic and user-friendly
More news, products and images
MembersZone for exclusive online content
Four-color Newsletter, print and digital edition
Enhanced, colorful design for a more efficient read
Fresh content, exclusive stories and guest editors
E-mail Initiatives
Timely e-mail news bulletins
Special offers and online sales events
Through these improved forms of content delivery, we will be able to communicate in a more interesting, colorful and timely manner.
While somethings will change, many aspects that have built such a solid foundation to the Club -- the relationships with Jeannie Schulz,
Creative Associates, United Media, the Charles M. Schulz Museum and CCI -- remain strong and supportive, and will continue to prosper as we move forward.
The collective efforts by many of the Club members -- from contributing writers and the dedicated volunteers at Beaglefest -- will continue as well. After all,
what would a club be, without being able to gather and spend time enjoying your love of the Peanuts gang with fellow collectors? So, YES ... Beaglefest will
continue, as well.
Additional detals and a membership renewal form will be found in the flyer included with the summer/autumn 2008 newsletter. Since all members' current
membership expires with this issue of the newsletter, it is important that you return the renewal form as soon as possible, to ensure a seamless transition
of your membership and Club benefits.
I hope you will join in our excitement about the future of the Peanuts Collector Club, and the planned initiatives to enhance he value of your Club membership.
