Vice Mayor Jim Wood presented a resolution, at City Council this past Tuesday, for all staff that assisted in the City’s vaccination clinic. Stella Salyer and Heather Vickers were on hand to accept for the CVB. Thank you to everyone who assisted the City with this massive endeavor. Nearly 125,000 shots were administered!

Some members of Marcomm volunteered for the Keep It Beachy Clean event at the Surf & Rescue Museum on 24th Street.

It’s National Volunteers Week and the Visitor Center wants to recognize our amazing volunteers – Anne Maher, Arlene Ingram, Regina Oswalt and Ed Salomonsky!

They are an important part of the VIC team!  They are great ambassadors of Virginia Beach and always there to help us.  We are very lucky to have these wonderful volunteers!!  Thank you for your dedication and for all that you do for the Visitor Center and the City of Va Beach!!
