HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO ATTEND?
The Vancouver Barracks Military Association is a not-for-profit organization. Our friends and partners generously donated materials and use of locations for this conference. Unfortunately, not everything for the conference is covered by in-kind donations. Several conference items cost money, which we hope you will support, with your donations. Events at the Academy are free and open to the general public. All other events at the Artillery Barracks, and walks and talks at the Barracks are limited to paying donors.
There is a $50 requested donation fee to attend the conference opening, meet and greet on Friday, and military history talks and walks on Saturday and Sunday. For full-time students, the requested donation fee is $25. You can register to attend the Barracks events on any day of the conference. If you can only attend a portion of the conference, you can donate a smaller amount.
We are sorry for the inconvenience of making
conference registration a two step process.
Please bear with us as we try to get our web commerce site
updated.

The Vancouver Barracks Military Association is a 501 (c) 3, not for profit organization. As you might guess, we do not have a lot of money. To keep costs down, we need donations of time, supplies, and money. As far as people donating time, we will need people to act as ushers, and docents at the various event, such as the displays at the Academy. We also need people who have experience in planning social events like our conference. We are looking for sponsors who may donate items such as food and beverages. We also need people who are able to donate cash for the other goods and services we have to pay for, such as printing, space rental, etc. If you are interested in supporting our conference, or know someone who might be, please contact us at, President@vbma.us, or jddavis@rocketmail.com.
