Final Committee Member Election Results
by Dean Notarnicola 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Please welcome Dave McGuire and Jason Perkins to the VCF Mid-Atlantic steering committee! I know they will add great ideas and energy to the committee. Thank you to everyone who participated in the election! There is much good work to be done, but it doesn't get done without help from our membership and volunteers. There are many opportunities for improving and expanding our operations, so please consider volunteering to help keep VCF moving upward and onward. Regards, Dean

Happy Festivus everyone!
by Jeffrey Brace 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

We all had the best time this year! I saw old friends, new friends and new members come. Lots of good food, drink and camaraderie. It seemed like everyone enjoyed the new format with the swap meet & repair workshop. Cooking in the outdoor camper worked well. Fast cooking, lots of space, protected from weather, etc. I appreciate those that helped me out with setup, break down, cooking, etc. Enjoy the rest of the month everyone, I will be making announcements in a few days about upcoming events. ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org
