Below under MEMBERSHIP, see the quick ways to catch up by paying your annual dues. If you're not sure if you've paid for 2024, email us at [email protected]. Also, if you missed the annual meeting, there's still time to sign up and participate in one of the subgroups. With your help, this club will continue to shine!

GVR is soliciting feedback on the Del Sol Clubhouse Be heard! Please take a moment to do the quick survey below about developing a cafe within the GVR Del Sol Clubhouse:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/R5LTZD6 In addition to the food/beverage question - there's a question on whether dogs should be allowed on the patios. This could be an exciting opportunity for our club!
