We're thinking about moving the date for VCF East 2022 one week earlier to April 22,23,24.
Here is our reasoning why these are better dates:
1) Our teachers, including Jeff and Adam, don’t need to take extra days off work (unpaid) for setup because it is spring break and many schools are closed.
WIN!!!
2) Children can come to classes on Friday because most schools are closed for spring break. Tony and Adam will be setting up the Apple 2 classroom and many schools have spring break so we hope more kids will attend.
WIN!!!
3) InfoAge has another event the same weekend and we don't want to interfere.
WIN!!!
4) It does not conflict with Easter and most who celebrate Passover.
WIN!!!
5) Hotel rates are lower than the Shore Season.
$$$CHA-CHING$$$ WIN!!!
I don't see any negatives for the change in dates. Dumb luck would have the weather be bright and sunny on the original date and horridly rainy on the new dates... but we can't predict or control that anyway.
Yeah, bring proper clothing like raincoat, umbrella hoodie, etc. It’s the rainy season so expect cold and rainy.
