The “Sweep” online has had the same growing pains that the old fashioned “Sweep” publication of many years ago had. PULLING TEETH TO GET THE INFORMATION TO PUBLISH!

Years ago the VC&NS used to send out a notice in the mail on a standard sheet of paper mailed in an envelope. This publication was called “The Sweep”. Upcoming events were listed for members to be informed. Gathering this information was the editor’s hardest job. That has not changed. PLEASE EMAIL YOUR INFORMATION TO OUR NEW ONLINE SWEEP EDITOR, PHIL de VOS. at phipfox@yahoo.com Thank you.
