Rochester Doll Collectors Club puts on a luncheon event approximately every two years to promote doll study and collecting.  A guest speaker presents a program on a themed doll topic.  The club members provide a display of personal dolls representing the luncheon theme. 

These highly praised events are open to the public and each attendee receives a Luncheon Souvenir doll and table favors.  There is also an opportunity to participate in a raffle for exquisite dolls or doll related items.  One lucky person from each table also wins the centerpiece doll! 

Past themes or topics have included:

Dolls and Desserts- a general overview of dolls and doll collecting.
