We are working on starting a chapter of the VPS here.  They are an excellent group whose purpose is to preserve our vinyl music heritage by fostering active, all inclusive community building amongst the passionately interested and curious to promote enjoyment and education relating to vinyl records, record collecting, record playing and all associated matters of analog musicology regardless of listening tastes.

The Vinyl Preservation Society of Idaho was founded on the following principles and respectfully asks its members to adopt them and embrace them as their own.

1. Honor the importance of music as an art form
2. Listen actively and with intention
3. Respect others and their musical choices
4. Maintain an open mind and a curious ear
5. Choose vinyl whenever there’s a musical choice to be made
6. Preserve our vinyl heritage by caring for and about vinyl records
7. Recognize your ownership of the Society by actively influencing its direction
   and development
8. Evangelize the vinyl life and your role as an Ambassador for the Society at
   every opportunity
9. Share your vinyl history, knowledge and passion
10. Support your local independent record merchants

Let us know if you are interested in getting involved with a new chapter here, or if you just want to listen to some vinyl.
