Our pool will be open the following days/times for Memorial Day weekend:

  • Sat, May 29 11am-8pm
  • Sun, May 30 1pm-8pm
  • Mon, May 30 11am-8pm

As Memorial Day weekend and the 2021 opening of our Village Green pool approaches, the VGCA would like to remind everyone that you must join the Village Green Community Association and the pool in order to enjoy the pool. Any resident of Village Green, whether you rent or own, may purchase a membership.  The easiest way to do this is to go to https://vgnn.org/join and either use the Paypal link (fees apply) or print out the form and turn it in to the green mailbox in the front flower bed at 625 Brandywine Drive.

Donnie Woodruff, the pool manager, and Laura Cvitanovich, the membership chairman, plan to enjoy the holiday weekend with their families and will not be available to process and verify memberships through the weekend.

Although we will continue to accept memberships throughout the summer, if you plan on joining the pool AND using it during the opening weekend, please turn in your paperwork prior to the close of business (5 PM) on Tuesday, May 25. This will ensure that your payment can be processed and your pool bands delivered before the weekend.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

Fund our Fun! Memorial Weekend Basket Raffle

/in , , /by

Our Fundraising for the park is ready to continue with the lightened COVID restrictions and warmer weather. The Basket Raffle that was originally planned for January will be starting on Sunday, May 30, at the park, with drawings happening at 6pm during the DJ in the park event. If you would like to donate a basket to the raffle or monetarily help in creating a basket, please contact Stephanie GianDonato at 240-672-2747. We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle with the proceeds also going to the playground equipment.

So far, we have raised just over $1,400 with a total goal of $3,000. The board has voted to our fundraising up to $3,000. Only $1,600 to go to reach our goal and receive the greatest match from the VGCA! We all deeply appreciate all the effort that has been put forth so far from the community to help make the new playground equipment a reality!

Parents — please remind your children to keep our park clean.

I am one of the volunteers for Village Green Community Association but more importantly a parent of two boys that use the park regularly.  After finding the park littered with water bottles, empty bags of chips, and used napkins I had a talk with my boys.  They were not the source of the trash but I asked them to model appropriate behavior for other children in the park.

I am asking all parents that have children (no matter what age) who use our park to remind them to pickup after themselves.  Also have them respect the park, the equipment, and surrounding areas.  Working up at the pool for many hours the past 3-4 weeks, I have seen actions by preteens and teens that indicate to me that the VGCA park and property are not being respected.  The families before us have maintained VGCA property so our families can enjoy today and in the future.

I spent 10 mins of my morning picking up litter in the park.  There are trash cans in the park — please have your children use those.

Thank you.
