As you probably know by now: Spring will be different as John and I transition our leadership and step back. This team can be led by committee, we have volunteers for treasurer, hospitality, and fundraising so we just need a person, couple, or group to volunteer to oversee some of the fine details. Please reach out to John or me if you would like to help out in that capacity. We'd like to use the time between seasons to meet with folks in leadership roles to pass on what we know and do.

Please email or text an RSVP ASAP so we know who is attending.

If you cannot attend but would like to be more involved,

just reach out and let us know:

John - gvcrewpd@gmail.com - 484-557-8531

Robin - gvcrewm@gmail.com - 484-321-1369

Come one, come all!

SAVE THE DATE

January 16 (MLK)

to help assemble baskets and prep for the Blue Jean Ball

Location and exact time TBD and will be texted out on the REMIND

We need all families to start talking up the event! Ticket sales are OPEN and having big attendance is a must. Please make sure it's on your calendar and attend. Big time bonus if you can bring some family, friends, or neighbors. We have a fun band, great food and drinks and of course some great items for the silent auction. It will be a super fun evening out!

Also, keep scrolling for instructions on donating for the event. We need all families (spring and fall) to help so check the list and see what you can do.

As you may know, we need "all hands on deck" to keep GV Crew "afloat".
