The YV Hall of Fame committee would like to thank all who attended the induction dinner and for those who continue to support our efforts through their donations.
Our dinner was very well attended with over 200 people!! The largest in our history.
The current committee has coordinated 11 induction dinners, worked with YV Administration and coaches to direct our donations, and we have offered several scholarships to graduating seniors. Several members are ready to retire from the committee and so we are asking you to consider joining us.
​
If the Hall of Fame is going to continue we need some new blood. Please contact us now and we can help you transition to the next dinner.
​
Unfortunately, if we don't have people step up, the Class of 2027 will be our last induction dinner.
​
Please consider joining us to continue this great tradition.
