"The Official Meanies Meanie Club" was created by Evelyn Richardson of Virginia on December 06, 1998.
In the beginning it worked together with beanie baby stalkers "Meanies Club" as a sister club, and utlimately began to share the website that was built for the Meanies Club and which was named "The Original Meanies Fan Club"
After the "Meanies Club" was deleted by grandma reno, the OMMC continued its association with the Fan club web site until it was removed by its owner in March of 2001 year.
The Official Meanies Meanie Club has always been open for membership to all Meanie collectors, dealers, or just fans and has encouraged, buying, selling, or trading within the club. As an individual club our highest membership has been 416.
As the numbers grew the founders increased and at the peak when the combined numbers of the three clubs was over 700 the OMMC had ten founders.
We enjoyed a direct contact and close friendship with the boys at idea factory and had chats, received phone calls, notices and mail and meanies to give as prizes for our contests. The chats with Lance Kushner and Glen Rudin are well documented.
The first year at Christmas time we had 39 members and the boys at idea sent through the mail, each member a personally signed Christmas Card.
The following December we received an anniversary congratulations drawn especially for the members as a surprise. This is shown on the next page.
