The clubs vary significantly with regard to size, meeting frequency, publications and number of "public" events. Club capsules appear below. 

Spoon Collectors of Southern California (SCSC)

SCSC is an active club that meets monthly, publishes a quarterly newsletter and stages an annual silver show. Check out their web site.
  

Washington State Spooners

The Washington State Spoon collectors Club is a very small group. They do not publish a newsletter as some regional clubs do. They meet in the homes of members. Non-local people would find little value in joining.

 
 Dallas Spooners

The Dallas Spooners is a small local group. It does not publish a newsletter. The club members meet in a member's home each month for lunch and a program.  The club hosts the national spoon convention in some years."

Northeastern Spoon Collectors Guild

International membership, quarterly newsletter, twice-a-year "mini conventions".  Any spoon collector interested in joining the Northeastern Spoon Collectors Guild should send a self-addressed, stamped #10 (business sized) envelope to  NSCG at P. O. Box 12072, Albany, NY 12212. Check out their web site.
