We have decided to cancel tonight's activities. Please stay home and stay warm.
Just a reminder that both the GEMS and Cadets will be having pizza tonight, so send them hungry.
The Cadet meal will be held next week Wednesday, December 10, from 5:00 - 6:30PM.
All Cadets need to bring a dessert (12-15 servings), and should arrive at 4:45PM to help with this meal. Watch for a note with more information to come home with you Cadet tomorrow night. Due to the cold temperatures, wind chill, and blowing snow all Wednesday night programs are cancelled.
As our first winter storm arrives I thought I should remind you of our cancellation policy.
VRC cancels activities on days Zeeland Public Schools are cancelled due to severe weather. If school is not cancelled and severe weather begins, a decision to cancel or not will be made as soon as possible.
