“I wanted to thank Mr. Boorman, the VISS board and all the wonderful volunteers whose hard work behind the scenes made VISS such a wonderful event.  The event was a superb experience.  The quality of the facility, the knowledgeable and approachable instructors and the hardworking crew combined to make this an event that will stay with me for a long time.”
