Is there a date for the holiday party? I only see the following Jul 30, 31 – Repair Workshop @ InfoAge Aug 6, 7 – VCF West – @ CHM Sep 10-11 – VCF Midwest Oct 8 – Swap Meet @ InfoAge
It is too bad that the swapmeet conflicts with the BARA hamfest. Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

Hello Chris, I only list the next few events (and not all of them) so that I wouldn't crowd the home page. You can always look here for the current Mid-Atlantic Calendar: https://vcfed.org/groups/vcf-mid-atlantic/vcf-mid-atlantic-calendar/ This can be found under GROUPS ... VCF MID-ATLANTIC ... CALENDAR FYI: The Steering Committee has voted to change the name of our holiday party from "Festivus" to "The Annual Winter Volunteer Celebration". This event will be on December 10 & 11.

That seems a bit of a shame. Why the genericized name? Cheers, Mark

I'm not out to defend the show about nothing or the name Festivus in particular, but surely it's at least a little better than being half a step away from "Periodic Seasonal Celebratory Gathering?"

I kind of like "Periodic Seasonal Gathering" it's as bland as water. Also not everyone who attends is a volunteer. On Mon, Jul 25, 2022 at 12:15 PM Mark Whittington via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Not sure where anyone heard about a vote, the new by-laws haven't been published yet. To be clear, the Steering Committee, in an attempt to create a professional, legal document, voted that, in the one place in the the by-laws where the event is referenced, it is not called "Festivus" (it wasn't previously referenced in the by-laws at all). Feel free to publicly or privately call it whatever you want. On Mon, Jul 25, 2022 at 12:25 PM Christian Liendo via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Actually, I kinda like that one even better than "Festivus" or the new one. - Dave

Winter begins Dec 21 so maybe festivus fits better ? :). On Mon, Jul 25, 2022, 12:09 PM Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Yes, I think the steering committee did take a wrong turn on this one. The event will not be happening during the winter. Did anyone really have an issue with the title “Festivus”, really? Just my 2 cents Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
