ORLC and VBS
Given the circumstances and the uncertainty of the guidelines with COVID-19, along with the amount of planning and heart that goes into VBS here at ORLC, we are planning to shift our energy to something a little more flexible that will still reach the families of ORLC and our community. Stay tuned for more information.
