Pandemic permitting, next year VAF will meet in San Antonio, as we had intended this year.  Mark your calendars for May 19-22, 2021, when we hope to be back to our usual schedule of two days of tours and one day of papers, plus other gatherings and events.  Ranging from in-town San Antonio to the Texas Hill Country, from missions to the border, the tours will offer a look at Texas’s vernacular heritage.   And if the coronavirus gets in the way, we will once again work around it.  For more about the conference, see the website.

Thanks to the flexibility of our hosts, VAF meetings planned for the future have all agreed to push back a year.  In 2022 we are looking forward to visiting Plymouth, Massachusetts, followed by New Orleans in 2023.  Seeing people and places in person is what we are destined to do, so let’s hope we can get back to doing it.  See you in San Antonio!

Kim Hoagland, Second Vice President, VAF
