VCF East - New Dates Announced!
VCF East 2020 Update What a difference 24 hours makes! Since last night's announcement, we have now seen various state governments recommend cancelling all large gatherings in light of the "continued outbreak and to aggressively mitigate the spread of the virus." in the words of the Governor of NJ. As such, VCF East 2020 will be POSTPONED (not cancelled) until October 10th through 12th, 2020. This is Saturday through Monday, Columbus Day. Over the past week we have been actively working on backup plans for VCF East in the event it had to be postponed, with several different contingencies planned based on different circumstances that might arise. While it is unfortunate that such a circumstance has occurred, the VCF Steering Committee is pleased to inform everyone that we have secured the dates mentioned above, along with the needed space at the Infoage Science and History Museums. Additionally, we have been reaching out to our Keynote Speakers and class proctors to lock in their availability. We have confirmed that Bill Mensch, Michael Tomczyk, Bil Herd and David Murray have all confirmed their availability as of today. We will update the website, class schedules, etc. over the coming week to reflect the changes in date as well as filling in who can and cannot attend based on the new days of the event. While prep for VCF East has continued in earnest over the past few weeks, a potential change of dates has always been on the list of items to deal with. It is unfortunate that the event needed to be rescheduled, but with the cooperation of our members, keynote speakers, exhibitors and attendees, along with the great coordination we've had with Infoage, we are confident we can help keep people safe and healthy and have a fantastic event, just a few months later than originally anticipated. Please stay tuned for more updates as the days and weeks go by, and please, stay safe and healthy! VCF Steering Committee
Tony, Jeff B requested use of CDL for the new dates, so far nothing conflicts. Waiting on confirmation from the CDL board. Question: Have you reached out to Dan Marlow & Lori Lauber re having the Diana site open for tours? Martin On 3/12/2020 5:14 PM, Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I have not. Our first priority was getting the dates and normal spaces. I spoke to Joy, Mike Ruane, Gloria and Dan Jacobs today. I will ask Jeff to reach out to them as well, thank you for suggesting it. I would not have thought of it.

Thank you for making the right call on this. I know this isn’t how any of us imagined how VCF East 2020 would play out, but ultimately this is best for the group, best for the members, and most importantly best for the visitors and locals. -Pete
