GVCO CONTINUES TO EXPAND PROGRAMMING.
As GVCO continues to work diligently at bringing a brand new community center to our Great Valley community, we are working equally as hard to expand our program offerings to better serve the community. Last spring we introduced an arts program for middle school students which we will expand upon this fall. In October we will also begin a dance class for seniors involving movement and expression, as we have partnered with Ballet 180, a dance company in Paoli. And as of this week Pickleball will be offered daily during the week at the GVBL Center on Bacton Hill Rd.
Our mission as we transition into the new GVCO Community Center in the coming year is to continue to offer the excellent programming we have done for many years, but continue to find ways to broaden GVCO's appeal to the entire community. With the addition of much greater facilities, we will continue to develop multigenerational and diversified programming to meet the needs of the entire community. For details on all of this and much more, go to
