This is more than just a festival issue. Many volunteers stay over every month at the monthly workshops, for the swap meets, and this also affects Festivus as well. Some volunteers even stay here to docent or for warehouse cleanups. We depend on the bunks for volunteers. Especially considering many of them come from multiple states away. Wall township needs to be informed that we rely on these bunks for members to stay over and assist our organization with many of our weekly operations. This isn’t some ‘cheap hotel,’ this is a critical staff asset for our volunteers at all the local events. -Ian L.

So unfortunately volunteers will have to find a hotel or other arrangements for overnight stays.
That is truly unfortunate. I did not take advantage of the option during VCF-E trips but I know it enabled some folks around the area to attend/volunteer who would otherwise not be able to do so.
Sorry the group is having to deal with this.
