Spring Into Action
The purpose of the annual Spring Into Action fundraiser is twofold: first, to raise dollars to help VAC to continue to provide services to those in need in our community, and second, to recognize some outstanding volunteers in our community.
At this springtime event, friends and supporters of VAC gather to enjoy excellent food, conversation and live music, bid on unique auction items, and honor individuals who give so much to our community and to VAC.
In the past, Spring Into Action has honored volunteers through two awards: the Outstanding Community Volunteer Award and the Hazel Riback Award, in honor of one of the founders of VAC, given to someone who has provided exceptional support to VAC. In 2008, VAC added an additional award, the Heart of VAC Award.
Contact VAC at 874-2273 for reservation information.
