Moving Forward
Update as of 5/21/20: 1:30 PM
CoViD-19 has taken its toll on all of us causing much loss with respect to different facets in each of our lives. The daily roller coast ride of announcements, guidelines, and how those are perceived has been nothing less than exhausting for everyone. We want nothing more than to return to our previous reality and more importantly work towards that goal as an association. While CoVID-19 remains highly contagious and AVPOA is working to create a clean environment, there are still risks involved in using our facilities and coming into contact with other members.

Things may be different as we meet different challenges moving forward, but we must remain hopeful. The following is what we know today (May 21), according to guidelines based on facilities and functions. Postings on social media may not be accurate or represent the most recent changes. We encourage you to go directly to our website (https://www.avpoa.com) for updates as information may change.
