The health and well-being of our community is important and after thoughtful discussion, the FVMRD will close all public facilities and suspend all programs beginning Sunday, March 15th  at 6:00pm until further notice.  The FVMRD has called an emergency Board of Directors meeting on Monday, March 16th at 10:00am to discuss potential timeline.

With programs suspended and facilities closed, we will work to provide credits or refunds to impacted FVMRD participants. This is a constantly changing situation, so we will keep our website updated as new information is available.
