GVBL App
Use it or get left behind on important GVBL Winter League info
For several years, we have been promoting the GVBL app and it will be imperative to use it for all Winter league info. We have found this tool to be the best way to communicate rosters, schedules, updates, info and more. Upon registration, GVBL asks that you take the time to download the GVBL app and use it as your main source of info for our GVBL programs.

Announcing a new GVCO Partnership
Immaculata.Edu
|
|
|
For many years, GVCO has enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Temple University's School of Sports Tourism and Hospitality Management. Recently GVCO has reached out to Immaculata's Office of Career and Professional Development to initiate a similar relationship. As a local community partner, Immaculata is a natural fit for GVCO as we continue to develop further programming here in the Great Valley Community. Immaculata has strength in areas like adult programs and Education - areas that GVCO plans to focus on with the onset of the new facility. As we move into the new school year, look for GVCO and Immaculata working together for the betterment of our local community.

The catastrophic rain storm yesterday sidelined the sitework crew but the building pad and stormwater basin held up great. Kudos to the engineer and sitework crew! |
|
|
|
We are on our way...
to a world-class community resource that delivers a broad range of sports, educational, arts, recreational and senior programs that address key community needs.
|
The time is NOW.... Together we can make it happen!
We need your help to finish what we've started! We will not get the necessary financing to complete the project without raising additional funds.

The Muck Family
“Yes, count us all in!”
This year, the Muck Family vacationed in Lake Placid, NY. On their second day, one of the kids had the wild idea of hiking Mt. Marcy, the tallest mountain in NY. At the top, you can see as far as Quebec and Lake Champlain.
|
|
The hike is 15 miles, 7.5 hours, and 3,574 feet in elevation. What? This is certainly a wild idea! “Yes, count us all in!” During the climb, we passed many other hikers, who offered bits of what to expect ahead and words of encouragement. This picture is at the end of the day, dirty and tired, but the smiles show we were so glad we did it!
The folks at GVCO are embarking on another wild idea with building the community center. It has taken and will continue to require a lot of hard work and determination, and help from others along the way is essential. When GVCO asked us to help with the Capital Campaign, of course, we said “Yes, count us all in!” All six of us have graduated from GVHS and we love Malvern. We see the GVCO Community Center as being a pinnacle in the lives of those of us lucky enough to call Great Valley home and we are sure it will bring smiles to all the faces from young to old in the community at the end of the day.
Keep climbing GVCO!
Wiley, Brian, Jill, Ellie, AJ, and Danny Muck
