πŸ‘πŸ‘ Two Thumbs Up for Bocce!

The 2026 Greater Vernon Open Charity Bocce tournament is celebrating 21 years and still rolling strong! πŸŽ‰

A huge thank you for your generous $1,000 donation to NOYFSS programs, helping support children, youth, and families in our community.

Thank you Shane Koyczan for your beautiful words:

our future will grow back."
