Jan they have the Motorcycle rally at the same time I know every 2 years. They meet downtown and ride around the city. They were expecting 600 riders this year, but I think they fell a little short because of the rain.

Bill 2014 is correct.

Bill, George Duke the owner made that plain I believe Friday night. He said Zippo's And Case Knives would always be made in Bradford, Pa. USA.

My guess is you guys know Zippo owns Case knives.

Bill,

I do know that typically it is every other year.  Historically it has been Zippo one year and Case the next, rotating respectively.

I've been asked and really do not know for certain when the next Collectors Reunion will be held.  I assumed that is would be in 2014,  since prior to the 2012 meet, a Reunion occurred in July 2010.  Does any one have a good line on the next reunion?   Thanks.

One of the best things about IKC and other knife clubs and forums is interacting with good folks.  They seem naturally drawn to collecting, talking and learning about knives.  I hope next time to attend on Friday also since there are many good things like the Auction and dinner that occur then.  I did not know how the Auction money was utilized and its purpose.  The news is good, but not surprising  considering the caliber of the People and Company involved.  One of the other ways that Case contributes to the Charity Run (and the part that led to my confusion) is that the Case Zippo Museum is listed in the Reunion Brochure as the registration site for the run.  Just another example of how Case helps!

Gerald,

OK, those folks sure timed that well then.  You good folks representing CCC did a great job at the dinner by raising that much (sounds of applause)

Jan I don't think Case has anything to do with the Ride for Cancer. Here's a link to the Charity the money goes to. The CCC Forum group help a silent auction at our dinner and raised $3342.

All I can say is wow. Hopefully I will be able to make one of these in the future. It sounded like a super fun time.

Bill and Gerald,

Thanks for posting all of that.  I am so glad the trip was great for you all.  I applaud Case for both the Ride for Cancer and the Veterans special knives at the breakfast.  That is the sign of company that is reaching out to the collecting community and paying forward!  God Bless them!!
