RSVLTS & 2021 “Dundies” Awards (aka The ‘VLTIES)

“The Dundies are about the best that’s in every one of us…”                                -Michael Scott

In honor of today’s Dropzone rendition of the “Dundies” (short sleeve Kunu, see below) - one of the greatest episodes of “The Office” of all-time - we couldn’t help but also reflect back on the past year within the RSVLTS halls...and want to share a little appreciation amongst our own staff and in a similar manner. 

If you haven't seen the episode (S2; E1), go watch it immediately!

It would be impossible to mention every member of the RSVLTS staff, however a few awards basically just wrote themselves. So without further ado, we present you with the first annual ‘VLTIES Awards. Enjoy!
