We have been a club for 39 years and our membership is currently 54 members.
President
Though still surrounded by a plethora of 1" scale minis waiting for a home, once Joanne tasted 1/4" scale, she was hooked! She's now completed many 1/4" (and smaller) kits and has many more waiting "in storage". She's a real champion for M.E.E. and promotes the Club and hobby wherever she can.
Vice President
Maureen is the club's expert on "Trash to Treasure" and going with her on a shopping trip to a dollar store is a real learning experience. Truly, she has the eye of a miniaturist. Maureen also produces our New Members Handbook.
Secretary
Kyla first became interested in miniatures while visiting her cousin in Montreal - she had decorated her bookshelves with miniature food and Kyla was inspired to try making her own out of polymer clay. Since joining MEE in 2015, Kyla has expanded her interests to all things miniature and has been truly inspired by the more experienced members of the club.
Workshop Coordinator
Tina has been involved with miniatures ever since her husband bought her a dollhouse on their honeymoon, in 1976. She sells her miniature kits on Etsy, and is responsible for organizing 8 workshops per year for MEE.
Treasurer
Cheryl started with Barbie scale, and is slowly working her way down the scales, but always about Halloween.
Estate Sales Coordinator
Making sure that estates are handled with care and compassion, Pat brings much-loved minis to new homes where they will be treasured.
Although we had hoped to return to our face-to-face show this year, it was not to be! And here it is... the Miniature Enthusiasts of Edmonton's 25th (and second virtual) annual Dollhouse and Miniatures Show!
Learn MoreWe depend on our wonderful vendors to bring us the best of miniatures each year. Although it's now a virtual event, they are still with us! And what a coincidence... the sale starts on the same day as our Show - Sunday, September 19, 2021 (and for several weeks thereafter...)
Learn MoreEvery year, we offer a kids' Table at our Show and Sale where young miniaturists can create their own display to take home with them. This year, as part of our virtual show, children, and the young at heart, can test their visual skills by finding miniature objects in a huge dollhouse.
Learn MoreIt was with regret that we cancelled our 24th Annual Show and Sale. But we didn't let a little thing like a plague stop us! We went virtual! The virtual show premiered on Sunday, September 20, 2020, and remains on-line for your viewing pleasure.
