VGCA Membership Drive Continues

/in , , /by

Membership flyers are making their way into mailboxes and doors during the month of March. Please join your neighbors and friends to support the upkeep and maintenance of all of our commonly held properties. Last year, the non-negotiable costs to maintain the community (not including the pool) such as insurance, utilities, trash service, website, and gas and upkeep of mowers, totaled more than $8000. Membership in the VGCA, at $75 per year amounts to @ .20/per day. The cost of membership has remained at the same low price for more than 20 years.

You may join by filling out the green membership form and returning it to 625 Brandywine Drive or you may pay via Paypal (fees apply) at vgnn.org/join. If you have membership-related questions, please email [email protected].

2022 VGCA Membership Drive has begun

/in , , /by

The Village Green Community Association will begin its annual membership drive during the month of March. Membership in the VGCA has remained at the same low rate of just $75, @ $6 per month, but that $6 per month goes towards paying for the many expenses our neighborhood cannot avoid: liability insurance, utilities, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings and common areas, gas for the mowers (otherwise powered by a team of volunteers), and dozens of other incidental expenses involved in keeping the community in good working order.

Membership flyers will be making their way into mailboxes and doors during the next 4 – 6 weeks. You may fill out the flyer and return it to the green mailbox at 625 Brandywine, or you can link to the online membership form and pay via Paypal (fees apply). If you have membership related questions, please email [email protected]

Please go to https://vgnn.org/join for additional info and/or to pay online.

VGCA Pool info for the upcoming 2022 season

/in , , , /by

VGCA Pool Members:

A few things to consider for the upcoming season:

  • The hours will be very similar to last year.
    • Tuesday-Friday and Sunday 1pm-8pm
    • Saturday 11am-6pm
    • Monday — potentially (see next bullet point)
  • We will look to open on Mondays similar to last year if we hit membership goals listed below.
    • 90 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays thru July 18.
    • 100 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays for the entire season.
  • We will look to offer an adult lap swim 8-9pm during the summer.
  • Concessions will be improved from last year.
  • Pool rules will stay the same.
  • We will have an Out of School Pool Party.
  • HRA and CGBD plan to use our pool again this year.
    • We plan to receive revenue from rental agreements with Hampton Roads Academy (HRA) and the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) Swim Team.  This helps us keep the pool running and in great shape.
    • HRA campers will use the pool during open swim Tues/Thurs 130-330pm during the summer.
    • CGBD will use the pool Mon-Fri 5am-9am — the pool is closed to all other swimmers at this time.

The membership drive will be right around the corner…keep an eye out for additional information.

Thank you!

Pool Volunteer Needed

/in , , , /by

As VGCA continues to self-manage the pool, we are looking for an extra volunteer.  Specifically, I am looking for an adult that can help me with the following:

  • provide guidance and support to lifeguards.
  • answer questions for new and potential members.
  • help monitor pool chemicals and the pumps (very easy to do).

It is a great opportunity to give back to the neighborhood especially for an adult who is up at the pool on a regular basis.  There is very little effort involved but it would help me out during the week when I am working.

Email me at [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

As summer comes to a close, we will have an End of Summer Pool Party on August 28, 2021.  The pool will be open to all Village Green neighbors for this event.

Around 3pm there will be hamburgers, hot dogs, and possibly some other treats will be provided.  Consider donating to the Village Green swim team if you attend and/or grab a bite to eat.

Then roll into the End of Summer Party in the Park that will have Sweet Frog, crafts, and a movie (Disney’s Onward) with popcorn.

Thank you volunteers!

Volunteers are what make this neighborhood great!

Just yesterday, Phil K. volunteered to cut the grass on VGCA property under the power lines adjacent to Crown Point. It had gotten a tall and I am sure was not an easy task.  On top of that it was quite hot and humid.  Thank you!

Thanks to Ryan G. for assisting a neighbor on Prescott Circle and seeing that the underground electrical issue was resolved so we all would be safe.

From all those that do behind the scenes work…THANK YOU! This includes not only the adults in our community but many pre-teen and teenagers as well. Countless hours go into maintain our wonderufl neighborhood!  Village Green has a history of being a tight knit neighborhood and we get things done by volunteering and working together.  It is great to see this wonderful tradition continuing in the Green!

VGCA and our assets would not be possible without the MANY volunteer hours that are put in by our neighbors.  We understand that everyone does not have the ability to volunteer their time so consider joining for just $75/yr as a VGCA member.  This helps with paying electrical, water, and taxes to start but also in providing upgrades to our park, clubhouse, and pool.  Please consider joining at vgnn.org/join

Thank you!!!

Parents we need your help again

/in , , , /by

Our pre-teen and teen volunteers have worked extremely hard to open and staff concessions this year.  We are in jeopardy of having to close it due to the amount of trash that is being left around pool deck by their customers.  There are trash cans stationed around the pool deck and we are requesting that everyone use them.

I (and our volunteers) are asking all parents and grandparents to remind our swimmers and guests to make use of the trash cans.  If we continue to trash left on the deck then I will have to close concessions and it will not open the rest of the season.

Thank you for help get the word out.
