With the arrival of spring and the enjoyment of longer days, warmer weather, and the budding of leaves and flowers, it seems fitting to reflect on the many religious, spiritual, and cultural holidays that are part of this season—and their importance to BVA members and their families.   

Understanding the traditions and values that others deem sacred is vital to the peace and harmony in all organizations and societies and in all settings — from workplaces to classrooms, sports teams, and charitable organizations that serve a specific population. Such awareness and understanding are most certainly significant within an organization such as BVA.

Whatever religious denomination, orientation, or persuasion best expresses your faith and convictions, BVA National Headquarters wishes you, your family, and friends the peace, prosperity, contentment, and renewed hope that you seek as you worship and call upon your Supreme Being to sustain and guide you. May you do so with satisfaction and joy throughout this wonderful spring season.
