<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 1062582, member: 33"]That sort of thing almost happened with my mother's doll club. But they managed to get enough members to remain as a UFDC affilliate, at least for now. I think they had to have something like 10-15 members. Does that sound right? Some of the members of hers seem to be somewhat younger. Although some are in the 80s -- and maybe 90s?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I remember that when one of the members died the woman's husband invited doll club members over to help in identifying some of the dolls. Also, they each got to pick one doll to keep. When a different member died (probably in her 60s but in ill health) they got to buy something from the collection before the dolls were sold. At least I think I'm remembering correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
