Santa’s VG drive-by on Dec 21 6pm
Santa and his elves will be driving by all the houses in Village Green on Tuesday, Dec 21 beginning at 6pm. He is hoping to see many of you on your porches so he can wave as he drives by in a golf cart.
Santa needs lifeguards….
Santa is going to be busy the next couple of weeks…but keep in mind he will need lifeguards to staff our Village Green Community Association pool this upcoming season. It’s never too early to get certified or to get your name on our candidate list.
If you are interested in being a lifeguard at our pool, please send Donnie a txt (757-768-9326) or email [email protected].
Lifeguards will need to be at least 15 yrs old and certified. Please check with the YMCA, Riverside Fitness Center, and/or the Red Cross for classes during the Winter/Spring.
Breakfast with Santa
Parents the big day is quickly approaching for Big Man himself to come join us for a very special breakfast. Please ensure you plan accordingly with a wrapped gift with your child’s name on it and drop it off at 657 VGP by Wednesday, December 8. This helps to keep things organized and full of holiday spirit. Please keep the presents to under $20 as well. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Call for Volunteers for Treasurer and Rental Coordinator
As many of us would agree this is one in a million neighborhood. The one thing that sets it apart from so many others is the number of volunteers we have to help make things happen and keep everything going. We come to rely on those people day in and day out but there comes a time when the torch must be passed. Pete Fry has served as Treasurer for as long as anyone can remember but now, we need a new neighbor to step up and fulfil that role. It doesn’t take much time, or so I’m told, to be the Treasurer. He is even willing to share his experience and knowledge to help get the right person going.
We will also be looking for a new Clubhouse Rental Coordinator. Mrs. Mary Milton has faithfully served in this capacity but starting the new year will be stepping down. Her efforts have greatly served the Village Green with many celebrations, and she has our everlasting thanks.
If not for the volunteers in the neighborhood, then hardly anything would be possible to accomplish. If you would like to volunteer for either of these roles specifically or to volunteer in general, please let the board know. As always, they can be reached by email at [email protected] or you can reach out to me at [email protected].
