About the LCCA –
The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) is a national, not-for profit , volunteer organization which was formed by Jim Gates of Perry IA along with 83 other charter members back in 1970. The club has grown over the years and has approximately 7500 members from all around the world, but predominantly in the US. The purpose of the club is to "promote and foster interest, research, education and enjoyment of Lionel trains from 1900 to the present in particular and by association, all toy trains in general. The motto of our club is “ A Lifetime of Happiness Collecting Lionel Trains”.
Current LCCA President Dennis DeVito has established a club goal of reaching out and having direct contact with at least 2300 LCCA members and family members this year with the Special Events Program. President DeVito and the entire LCCA Board of Directors are committing the resources to this family oriented Special Events Program in an effort to expand the club by recruiting new members, retaining current members and promoting the hobby. We are constantly reaching out and trying to attract new and younger people who may have never experienced the magic of Lionel trains. We have several LCCA Special Events scheduled in various cities all around the country. For more information go to the "Special Events" tab on our websitewww.lionelcollectors.org
