Mark your calendars because it's time to spruce up our Burnsville Training Center! Join us for BVTC Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 4th, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
DATE: Saturday, May 4
TIME: 9:00 am-1:00 pm
DIBS: available in 2-hour blocks - Sign-Up now
WHAT: Sweeping, sorting, stacking, and a little heavy lifting involved (and plenty more to do if you are not able to lift heavy items), so wear old clothes. Bring your leaf blower & broom, too, if you've got one!
WHO: Any AVB members and players aged 13 and up.
WHY: It's time to clean out storage areas, move items to the dumpster, and freshen up BVTC after a busy season!
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME: DIBS credits, community building, as well as snacks/refreshments once we're done.
This is a great chance for families who didn't meet their DIBS requirements for the 23/24 season to catch up. And for those who already met their DIBS, we'll credit them to next season's requirements.
Let's make BVTC shine together! Sign up for a shift and lend a helping hand.

Attention Managers! If you haven't yet returned your team iPad, you can do so this Wednesday night at AVTC. Ginger Lemke will be there from 3:30-6:30, working on carnival prep and more, so drop by and bring those iPads in.
