Let's Go to the Movies |
The VNA was chosen to be the featured non-profit during October for the Main Street Landing's Tuesday Night Film Series. Every Tuesday at 7 pm, a classic movie is shown at Main Street Landing in Burlington. It's free to the public, but donations are accepted at the door to benefit the featured non-profit of the month. 
During October, VNA friends and volunteers will be on hand before the show selling refreshments and answering questions about our programs.
