Correct. We briefed them both on our plans several months ago and 
they're both on board.


Also, a technicality that I neglected to say earlier: MARCH didn't 
"become" the Federation; instead the Federation is a new entity, 
legally-speaking.



So they weren't assimilated?

That's definitely NOT our plan.

Congratulations to MARCH on the new phase of existence!


Thanks. :)

Legacy MARCH will continue as our basic club / email list. The "new" VCF 
will be for our museum + public events.

March can now compete with chm  for the larger cash donations and grants now I

We'll continue to do business as MARCH. The new name, which
happens to have the abbreviation "VCF" (get it? --
and yes we got permission from Sellam and from Erik K.), 
allows us to potentially expand beyond just being a regional

computer club. Stay tuned for more announcements about this. :)

Huge news! MARCH's 501c3

2015-07-27 Thread Evan Koblentz

We heard back from Uncle Sam @ the IRS: MARCH is finally a federal 501(c)3 
non-profit charity.

It took 9 years of prognosticating and 1 year of actual work. :)

We needed to file using a different name than "Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing 
Hobbyists" so that's the other big piece of news here. Our charity's official name 
is:

Wait for it .

"Vintage Computer Federation".

We'll continue to do business as MARCH. The new name, which happens to have the 
abbreviation "VCF" (get it? -- and yes we got permission from Sellam and from 
Erik K.), allows us to potentially expand beyond just being a regional computer club. 
Stay tuned for more announcements about this. :)
