Pic of Col Parker and 4 People

[TotallyInsane]

There's a pic being shown now when you sign on to TCB with the Col. and 4 people. I think I remember these people as being the ones that had a fan club I was in called The Kings Court - think it was out of New York. They put this picture in their newsletter...anyone here that was a member of this fan club????

No Gail I was not a member of that fan club. I was a member of a fan club called "Friends Thru Elvis" in the 70s and 80s based out of Shreveport,LA . Do they still have those type of fan clubs anymore? Did you meet any Elvis people in your fan club? Of course I lived too far away to attend any of the events but I loved getting their newsletters in the mail. How times have changed!!!

Kim,
No, I'm afraid those types of fan clubs are a thing of the past!! Those were the good old days, huh??? The only one I ever me in any of the fan clubs was Rosanne and you know what happened after that????

Actually there are still a lot of fan clubs who get together to celebrate Elvis and many work for charity with Elvis related events.
Heres a little something about fan clubs from the EPE site:
There are over 500 active Official Elvis Presley Fan Clubs throughout the world today. They are represented in 44 of the 50 United States and 45 different countries worldwide.

Elvis Presley Fan Clubs not only celebrate the life and legacy of Elvis Presley, but they continue his generosity through their charitable donations. Check out Charity Charts to see how much has been donated so far and read about individual contributions made by clubs to charities such as Presley Place.
