Website fixed.

We have discovered the solution to our website having so many 500 server errors. This has been a persistent problem for the past year and elusive as to the cause.
The problem has been fixed on 3/29/2022, then we moved to another server on 3/30/2022.
Please clear your cache, and restart your browser to clear the 404 error. If you did this on 3/29, then you will have to do it again on 3/30.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
We will be updating many of our pages now that things are running smoothly and we can update without errors. Some changes and updates were not going through in recent months.
VCF East is in high gear and we hope to see all of you there!
VCF West is in the early planning stages and set for August.

Website errors

Hello everyone,

You may have encountered some 503 and other server errors trying to access our website for the past year or so. It is a problem with out WordPress installation. We have been trying to troubleshoot the existing installation for the past few months, but the fixes haven’t lasted. Locating the exact problem has been elusive and our fixes haven’t worked. So we will be installing a fresh copy of WordPress onto a completely new server and copying our web pages over. We are hoping that fresh install will alleviate the problems that we have been having for the past year. We hope to complete this change over the next week. There many be a few hours when the website is unavailable. We will do our best to minimize the time and let you know in advance.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Thanks you for your continued support and patience!
