Fund Our Fun

I wanted to take a minuet to let you in on a few things going on around the neighborhood. As you all know the next big event is our First Annual Turkey Trot. A short 5K run for a good cause. What is that good cause you may have been asking? How about some new playground equipment to replace the current set we have in the neighborhood park. Thanks to many, many volunteers we have been able to keep the current set going. It’s to the point though that the current equipment will not be useable much longer. So our Social Committee volunteers have started a “Fund our Fun” program to raise money to get something for the kids to play on. Kids being kids they would play on anything given a chance. However, going down the slide with a crack in bottom might lead to more ripped pants than Mama Bear wants to deal with. The Goal is to fund and have a new set in place before next Memorial Day when our Summer activities really kick off. So as we post these events, and others that make our neighborhood a true Village, come show some support. Cheer on our runners as they pass by, volunteer to help out, or even just sending out a thank you to those who are hard at work to make some magic happen. Of course Donations are always welcomed.  One big way to help out is to become a Village Green Community Association member to help us fund the upkeep of the entire Village Green.

*****ATTENTION*****

 In light of the currently imposed restrictions to gathering size due to COVID-19 by the Governor, we are going to stop accepting runners for the Turkey Trot. We greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts and will leave the registration open for donations. Efforts are still in place to ensure everyone is as safe as possible and still have fun. The best thing is to make sure you bring your mask and wear it until you start the Trot. Thank you everyone for bearing with us and helping to make this event a success still.

 

Sign up for the first annual VGCA Turkey Trot!  It will be held on November 21st in Village Green.  Adult 5K registrations for $15 and kids 1 mile fun run for $5.

The Adult 5k will start at 11:00 with 2 trips around the neighborhood with the Minuteman/Crown Pointe Loop. A little run for the betterment of the community.

VGCA Pool Extends September Hours! Join the VGCA Now and Enjoy the Pool on September Weekends! Click here to join: https://vgnn.org/join/

This year, because many of our families are not returning to school and fall sports and activities as they normally would, the VGCA voted to extend our pool season for the additional three weekends of September. In addition to our regular summer season, the pool will be open to current members on
September 12 – 13, 19 – 20, and 26 – 27 from 1 to 5 PM.

The Board, Membership Committee, and Social Committee would also like to extend this offer to ALL Village Green households. If you are currently not a member of the VGCA or haven’t gotten around to paying your membership fees, you can pay the $75 VGCA membership fee and your family can use the pool for the extended three weekends. Your membership will be good through March 2021. As a member, your family can also join in the children’s social events – Halloween Party and Breakfast with
Santa – and the miscellaneous adult events that we have scheduled for this fall.

The $75 fee covers basic operation and maintenance of Village Green including grass mowing, utilities, minor and major repairs, as well as insurance on our facilities. This continued maintenance and upkeep,
which is accomplished mainly by volunteers, helps maintain property values for ALL homes in the neighborhood. For less than you spend on coffee in a few months, you could be pitching in and improving our community.

If you would like to take advantage of the September membership drive, complete the attached form and return it to 625 Brandywine Drive by Friday, September 11 or drop by the pool on Saturday, September 12 from 1 – 5 PM. Your pool is waiting is for you!
