Community members are organizing family meal boxes for PV families in need during this winter break. The box would include a complete meal box to feed a family of 6. Please use this link sign up to receive a meal box. Pick up will be on Thursday 12/21 between 11am and 1pm. If you are unable to pick up, please follow the directions to arrange delivery.

We are excited that you are interested in joining Variety Show this year! This is a great opportunity for kids to bond with their peers outside of school in a fun, easy-going environment.

In order to allow group leaders time to plan and choreograph their routine based on the expected number of kids in their group, we ask that you please register no later than Friday, Dec 22, 2023.

If you have any questions, please email the coordinators at evergreenvarietyshow@gmail.com. This email address will be used for all Variety Show general communications.
