Greetings!

Friday, Friday, Friday… come join us for the Desert Valleys Builders Association Annual Golf Tournament! We still have three openings for teams, so it’s not too late to get in on the fun. Sign up online and talk to Vicky about your team at admin@thedvba.org or call (760) 776-7001. Let's make this a sell-out event!

Save the date! We’ll be hosting the Desert Valleys Builders Association Holiday Party and Installation of Board of Directors on Wednesday, December 3, at Bellatrix Restaurant at The Classic Club in Palm Desert. Cocktail hour begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30, with announcements and installation during dessert. Entertainment this year will be something new for most of us—you won’t want to miss it!

Looking forward to seeing you all on the greens this Friday!

Sincerely,

James Brownyard

Interim Executive Director
