Preparing for Halloween

/in , , /by

VGCA Vice President Amy Nuttall organized a Halloween Prepping Party on Saturday, Oct 19th. We had a good turnout and the kids (and parents) enjoyed the creepy crawly formaldehyde apple cider, Halloween donuts, Ghost Poofs, and may other treats. They were able to color a Halloween Trick-or-Treat bag and gather some treats for it. They also decorated pumpkins to take home. The Monster Mash and some other Halloween themed music was played by DJ Connor and DJ Ben.

Thank you to Amy for organizing and thanks to Amy’s helpers (Connor and Ben) for setting up and cleaning up.

Save 15% on your Stormwater bill by turning in Household Hazardous Waste

/in , , /by

If you have paint, oil, or other household hazardous waste, you can turn it into the Newport News Landfill for a 15% reduction on next year’s stormwater bill.

Landfill hours for household hazardous waste is Friday and Saturday from 8am-4pm.

Additional details on the 15% rebate can be found on the City’s Engineering Department’s webpage.

Cooler weather is coming…help us paint the doors and trim up at the clubhouse/pool.

We are still in need of a few volunteers to paint these doors. They are new and won’t need any wood replaced. Probably some quick cleanup and caulking before painting. VGCA will provide the supplies.

THANK YOU!
