VADA/Nova Needs YOU
It takes a lot of effort to keep the ball rolling so that there are plenty of shows and activities for all of us to enjoy. None of this is possible without the support of our membership.
We need volunteers to make shows and other events happen. You can read about our Volunteer Program and all the rewards of volunteering on this website. Also check out the recent changes to the Volunteer "Bucks" program.
Please look at our Contact Page to see who is on your VADA/Nova board and what committees have been formed. We can need your continuing support and aid. Please contact us if you would can help with any of these committees.
VADA/Nova has a collection of schooling, competition, musical freestyle and breeding farm videos and dvds. Stephanie Floros has agreed to manage these for lending to our members. The inventory and instructions for how to borrow from the library are described here.
