8 days of progress with the pool

/in , , , /by

Many volunteers have been involved to get the pool ready for this season.  Here is a short clip of the progress that has been made in the past 8 days!

Thank you to all that have helped and if you haven’t joined pool yet, please consider doing so.  It helps support our most rewarding asset.

Click here for a slideshow of the progress on the pool.

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

/in , , /by

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.

A few positive changes for the 2021 pool season…

/in , , , /by

 

We will be self managing again this year, so we will have the freedom to make some of the changes to our pool season.  We are looking to do the following:

  • Open at 11am on Saturdays.
  • Adult lap swim from 8-9pm during week nights.
  • Concession stand will be open during breaks.
    • Sell pre-packaged foods, snacks, and drinks.
    • Staffed by young volunteers.
    • All proceeds will go to the swim team for fundraising.
  • HRA will be using our pool on Tues/Thurs from 1:30-3:30pm BUT will be limited to 20 HRA swimmers per hour.
  • Swim team will have meets against other pools BUT they are slated to be virtual at this point which means they we only have our team swimming at our pool.

Please note:  we will monitor usage of the early Saturday hours, adult lap swim, and concession stand usage and adjust accordingly as the summer progresses.

We look forward to having a successful season and we hope you will support our most important asset and become a pool member this season!  Join by April 30th to get 5 free one day passes for the pool.

Currently, the Village Green Patriots swim team is taking registrations for 4-18 year olds.  We welcome all skill levels!  This is a great way for children to enjoy the water even more, have special swim team “fun practices”, become a team, meet new friends, and learn and improve your child’s swimming.  If you have any questions please fee free to email [email protected] and/or [email protected].

Thank you and we look forward to seeing many of you at the pool this summer!

VGCA Movie Membership Drive Apr 10 @ 7pm in the park

/in , , , /by

Audra (VGCA events coordinator) and her husband will be putting showing Raya in the park around 7pm on Saturday, April 10th.  A few VGCA board members will be in attendance to field questions and to accept memberships.  Please RSVP by going to Audra’s post on the Village Green Neighbors Facebook group so she knows how much popcorn to prepare.

We will also be able to answer questions about the Village Green swim team.  It’s an excellent way to learn how to swim and/or become a stronger swimmer.  Stop by and enjoy a wonderful evening with some amazing volunteers and neighbors!
