VIA supports Rehoboth Beach Main Street
The Village Improvement Association and Rehoboth Beach Main Street are working together again to keep the Boardwalk Kiosk Information Booth open for visitors this summer. The VIA members donate time each summer to assist Main Street with coverage for the Information Kiosk so it will remain open every day from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
For the past five years, the VIA members have volunteered at the kiosk on Mondays and Tuesdays. “Recognizing the importance that the kiosk offers to the visitors of Rehoboth, the VIA and its members step up to assist Rehoboth Beach Main Street to keep the information windows open,” says Executive Director Krys Johnson.
“There is a team of approximately 60 VIA members who are volunteering time on Mondays and Tuesdays and whenever necessary,” says Kate McKenzie, VIA program chair. “Members believe that a kind smile and advice from a local will keep vacationers and visitors returning to our city.”
Georgia Spade, RBMS kiosk supervisor, thanks the VIA for this valuable assistance. “Without the help from the VIA, many vacationers would not experience the hotels, restaurants, and attractions that Rehoboth Beach offers,” she said.
The Information Kiosk is on the Boardwalk at Delaware Avenue next to Funland and is open through Labor Day from noon to 6 p.m., Monday and Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday. Information on Rehoboth’s 200 boutique shops, galleries, and spas, the 40 hotels and bed and breakfast locations, real estate offices, and 100 gourmet restaurants and food establishments is available at the kiosk.

The VIA is a member of the Delaware State Federation of Women’s Clubs and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.
