As in years past, Hampton Roads Academy will be using our pool on Tuesdays and Thursday from June 18 through August 15 between 1:30pm and 3:30pm. We will have an extra lifeguard on staff during those two hours and have capped the number of campers to 50 swimmers this year. The funds made from this agreement help pay for the operation of the pool.
Connor helped me put together the new grill for the pool. We are looking forward to using it for the School’s Out Pool Party in June!
To wrap up the replacement of our exterior doors at the clubhouse, we need a few volunteers to install these doors before May 4, 2019. Sign up here: https://vgnn.org/volunteer-opportunity/need-two-new-doors-installed/

It looks like May 11th was the winner for the yard sale date, so let’s go ahead and plan for that! I will place notices on local sites and put up some signs.
Please note: all residents will need a permit from the city. They cost $5 (personal or cashier’s check, NO CASH) and require proof of Newport News residency like a government-issued ID with address or a utility bill. Information about where to mail or deliver your application, as well as links to print the application, can be found at the included link. If anyone needs help printing an application, let me know and I can drop one off to you. https://www.nngov.com/639/Garage-Rummage-Sale-Permit-Applications

When swimming in our crystal clear pool later this summer its because of to the time/effort put in by Justin Gradwell and Connor Woodruff. They assisted in getting them cleaned out this weekend. Tell them thanks when you see them this Spring/Summer!
We have to remove 900lbs of sand from each filter, replace 8 laterals per filter, and replace O-rings and gaskets on them as well. This will ensure that our filtration system is running optimally. This is done every 4-7 years and is the first time it’s been done on my watch. (Thanks to those who have maintained it in the past…definitely not an easy task.)
Nani will be coordinating the Village Green Yard Sale. Thank you! If you would like to give her a hand in planning it, please reach out to her via Facebook or via [email protected].
She has a poll on the Village Green Facebook Group but for those that do not have access to Facebook, you can vote here as well.

Beginning this Sunday (March 31, 2019), you will receive the Village Green Crier in your inbox every week. It will continue to have the format it has had in the past but it will now display and link to articles on the vgnn.org website as well. If you enjoy writing and/or would like to contribute stories to the Crier, please contact the VGCA Board by emailing [email protected]
Thanks to the Woodruffs and the Wilsons for helping out. Their children and another from the neighborhood had fun cleaning out and organizing the storage area in the clubhouse. It looks the best it has in several years. THANK YOU!
