On-Air Community Calendar on Sabbatical

After a very busy summer (and a very busy year) our on-air COmmunity Calendar reports at 9, noon, 3 and 6 are taking an end of summer sabbatical. They will return in the fall. In the meantime, check the WVBI online news feed for updates and our COVID-19 Info page for the latest island COVID-19 information. Enjoy the end of summer!
