Announcement: Administrative and Policy Changes
We in the steering committee have been considering making a number of changes to our operation, role, and focus for the past few weeks. We feel that our operation and communication has not been as effective as it could be, given our stated goals, and are also considering certain changes to the broader aspects of VCF Mid-Atlantic, such as membership, elections, and defining our role in relation to VCF National, largely in response to feedback from VCF Mid-Atlantic members. One of the changes we are considering, while largely inconsequential, is to revive the name 'MARCH' (short for 'Mid Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists') to replace the clunky 'VCF Mid-Atlantic'. We are still in the deliberating process, but one change worth reporting has already occurred - Jeff Salzman has delegated the role of Steering Committee Chairman to Thomas Gilinsky. The composition of the steering committee has not changed aside from this. Further information will be made available as we finalize our decisions.
Thomas and to all Are the items that you mentioned here (and others pending) going to be brought up at the Festivus meeting that we usually have in December and VCF members allowed to vote on it?( or sooner) I am sure that you and the others will keep us Informed.

I like MARCH. I joined MARCH, and I miss March. I would welcome this change. I am from Virginia, but consider myself more associated with the Wall-NJ group than any other. I would not like having state-related names for this reason. [image: image.png]Others please chime in.
