RVCA President’s Message

Hi Neighbors,

With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving just days away it seems this year
has flown by.
Before you know it, December 2nd will be here. If you haven’t saved the date, do
it now! You don’t want to miss our Holiday Party at Virginia Young Park. The party
starts at 6 pm. Two food options, Traffic Man BBQ and F. Fin Taco Truck, plus the very
popular Razzleberries serving up your favorite treats. We promise it will be a great
time for all ages! Fantastic live band, Santa, face painting, roaming magician and
more! We will be collecting toys and pantry products for Food Pantry of Broward and
Lori Sterling Children’s Diagnostic Treatment Center, so please consider donating.
A huge thank you to Michele and Chuck West Jr., Primo Liquors & Fine Wines and
Long, Jean & Wechsler, P.A. for generously sponsoring this event.
