Big Vanilla Athletic Club - What's New
Spring is springing! We’ve had our first doses of warmer breezes and stronger sun, and are surrounded by the refreshing colors of spring. Now we can move some of our activity outdoors, and kids get their healthful dose of fresh air and activity on soccer, baseball and lacrosse fields abound. The Big Vanilla has a fresh slate of programs for you. Our Spring Program Guide is everywhere around the club and in the community. Check it out and see what we have to offer. Don’t miss our Spring Open House! There will vendors from our community, a FREE kid’s party at the Wading Pool, a FREE Scuba class, a FREE tennis doubles clinic, plus so much more. Even another Member’s Bake Sale at the Café! (Remember Sue’s baked goods? Yum!) Many of the proceeds from the day’s event will benefit the Leukemia Foundation, as part of Big Vanilla’s effort to support a young member, Caleb Schneck, who was recently diagnosed. Raffle Tickets are on sale for the huge selection of gift baskets. See you there, and Happy Spring!
