Greetings Everyone!
You may not realize this, but we have a CALENDAR built right into the vBulletin Software. Yep, it's true. Here is the link: http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/calendar.php. It is in the tan field below the logo at the top of the page. We have started the slow process of re-populating the calendar and we will be utilizing it more heavily with changes that are coming soon. It will be further-integrated with the event listings on the forum. Keep an eye out, because we have already started.
Now, why the "Charles Heath Memorial Event Calendar?", you ask. For those who never met him, Charles was one of the most influential people we have ever had in the hobby. He was passionate about the hobby and of all of the things within the hobby that drove him, the events and coordinating an event calendar were the most important. "It's all about the events", he would say.
Well, much to everyone's shock, Charles passed away in 2009. He was only forty-nine. Since that time, much has changed in the hobby, but one thing remains the same for us here. It is still all about the events and that is where we are focusing a great deal of effort behind closed doors to improve. We have established a committee of veteran living historians, event organizers and movers-and-shakers in the hobby to begin the slow process of consolidating the EBUFU event schedule in one place again and that place is here, at the AC. It's not a sprint. It's a marathon. It will take time and there is still a year-and-a-half left in the 150th Cycle, but we can't wait until then to get to work. You may have noticed that we have already re-established the event folders and event organizers are slowly starting to trickle back in.
Charles was a rascal in a hundred different ways, but he couldn't have been more correct about where we need to focus our efforts. So, that is why the Calendar will carry his name. This is a small tribute, but hopefully one that his many friends appreciate, because the sentiment behind it is genuine. I hope that Charles would be pleased.
More to come on the events and more to come about Facebook soon. Stay tuned!
