Village Green’s beginning…
Kelly Meadows provided the brochure and newspaper ads to VGCA for us to share. Thank you Kelly! This is an amazing look into what was to be offered for our wonderful neighborhood!
Preparing for Halloween
VGCA Vice President Amy Nuttall organized a Halloween Prepping Party on Saturday, Oct 19th. We had a good turnout and the kids (and parents) enjoyed the creepy crawly formaldehyde apple cider, Halloween donuts, Ghost Poofs, and may other treats. They were able to color a Halloween Trick-or-Treat bag and gather some treats for it. They also decorated pumpkins to take home. The Monster Mash and some other Halloween themed music was played by DJ Connor and DJ Ben.
Thank you to Amy for organizing and thanks to Amy’s helpers (Connor and Ben) for setting up and cleaning up.

Cooler weather is coming…help us paint the doors and trim up at the clubhouse/pool.
We are still in need of a few volunteers to paint these doors. They are new and won’t need any wood replaced. Probably some quick cleanup and caulking before painting. VGCA will provide the supplies.

THANK YOU!
