Greetings!

The Coachella Valley is in full “season” mode. Every non-profit organization we belong to has a fundraiser or membership drive. The golf courses are preparing to re-open as the seeding is taking strength. The Desert Valleys Builders Association Annual Golf Classic is just 10 days away. We have openings for 4 more teams - register here.

Additionally, as this too is a fundraiser, we are still looking for raffle prizes for the tournament, and your iconic company logo giveaways and swag for our golfers’ swag bags. Please call us at (76)776-7001 or email Vickie at Admin@TheDVBA.org

Make Sure You Go to the Polls TODAY!!! Make Your Voice Heard.

Proposition 50 rescinds a State Constitutional Amendment we all voted on in 2008 for a citizen-controlled districting of California’s elected officials’ representative territories. This action threatens Coachella Valley infrastructure and transportation needs.

Keep your eyes and ears open for DVBA’s Holiday Party, at the Classic Club, on December 3rd. Notices should go out in the next week.

Sincerely,

James Brownyard

Interim Executive Director
