REMINDERS

VBAs are no longer allowed to use their Blue whistles on the beach.

We're excited to see our VBA's hitting the beaches for the 2025 season! With beach walking, educational & community events on the calendar it's so important to our organization for all volunteers to please keep track of all of your VBA hours!
