It's certainly possible that something like that can happen, but it won't happen overnight. (no pin intended!). Remember, this just came up recently. The people who made the decision are likely (hopefully) unaware of the impact it would have on our organization. -Dave On October 25, 2024 1:34:22 PM Andrew Diller via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Thanks! I know a lot of people are working hard to resolve this. I'm thinking more of Festivus :(
I can't believe it's not something some lawyers can figure out and get some waivers in place for people to sign! To be clear, I have no inside info I'm just speculating here.

Andy,
I see no one has responded to your question
No one can sleep in the bunkhouse until the matter of liability is discussed with IA and Wall Township. Volunteer, member, or not. I assure you we are working hard to get this resolved. We are dealing with local bureaucracy however, so this is not something that can be easily resolved over a few emails.
When we have a proper update we will make an announcement.
I am sorry to anyone coming to the swap that has been inconvenienced by this. It is both frustrating and unfortunate timing. I also come from an hour away so this has definitely affected my ability to attend events as well.
Thank you, Ian L.

I'm not clear on this Jeff-
Is the decision that no-one can sleep over at InfoAge?
Or that only volunteers, who may have no association with InfoAge or a member org cannot sleep over?

VCF East is another matter. They will let us use the space, but not sleep there. I’m consulting with Corey about allocating the budget which we had for volunteers at the Sandy Bunk area towards a low cost deal with a hotel. There’s plenty of time to figure out a solution that supports out volunteers.
