Getting To Know Our Regional Directors How do you think your doll collecting reflects your personality? I love being "mommy" to everyone, so dolls help fill that spot. Why did you take on the job of Regional Director? I feel this is my opportunity to encourage my region to benefit from the national organization in education and support. Janna Daniels Region 3 2014-2017 New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma When did you begin collecting dolls? What sparked your interest? I have loved dolls since childhood and, more importantly, I played with them. I began to see the world of collectables when my grandmother entrusted the care of a china head to me when I was in high school. I was a sewer so I loved making clothes for my "Beautiful Doll." What type of dolls do you collect? My collection is assorted. I have a doll hospital and each patient I meet stimulates me to learn more about these dolls and to own one. Do you have other interests that complement this hobby? I enjoy sharing my skills and the love of dolls with children. Is there a person in the doll world who has influenced your collecting? I think members of my doll club have encouraged my collection with supportive education through programs and doll events. What do you think is UFDC's most important goal today? Growing membership. How can you as a RD help achieve these goals? Get out there and spread the positive with education. Aside from a RD position, what are some of the other jobs in which you have participated? I have held club offices, chaired doll shows, chaired yearly Santa drives, and volunteered at the national convention every year that I have attended. As a RD, what do you feel is your most important goal? How do you plan on achieving it? I want to meet every doll club member I can and help them understand this is their organization and they have the opportunity to help it grow. Are you considering the challenge of becoming an officer of UFDC in the future? No not at this time. I love being a worker bee. What do you think UFDC's priorities should be for the next five years? We need to strengthen our membership and make that membership feel it is valued. Connie Reynolds Region 4 2014-2017 Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota When did you begin collecting dolls? What sparked your interest? I grew up a tomboy, so while I had a few dolls that I liked (Baby Crissy, Drowsy and Baby Alive), it wasn't until about fourteen years ago that I seriously began collecting dolls. I met a doll collector who introduced me to antique doll collecting and I dove in head-first. What type of dolls do you collect? Eclectic best describes my collection - from fine French bebes, to early primitive dolls to modern. If a doll speaks to me, it is likely coming home. Do you have other interests that complement this hobby? Among other things, my husband and I collect RS Prussia porcelain. I was drawn to the idea that artists in the Thuringia region of Germany were making dolls in one factory and fine porcelain in another. We have many antique children's tea sets that are a nice complement to the dolls and it seemed like a natural progression into the doll world. DOLL NEWS * UFDC.ORG 165 http://www.UFDC.ORG
