UPDATED: Looking for volunteers to help with some VGCA projects this Spring

/in /by

Here are some projects we have identified that need to occur this Spring.  Connor and I will be focusing on getting the pool up and running so we will need some help from our amazing volunteers.  Give us a hand please beautifying Village Green!

  1. Address brick walls at entrance to Village Green

    • VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED to pressure wash brick at entrance. Target completion date is March 31.
    • Brick and mortar work on brick at entrance — Joe O’Malley has volunteered to handle this.
    • TARGET DATE: By end of May.

  2. Fix/replace split rail fencing on access ways leading to the VGCA park

    • VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED for this.
    • Peter Grimes has volunteered to do Prescott…we still have a couple of other areas that need to be addressed.
    • VGCA will provide materials as determined by volunteer(s).
    • TARGET DATE:  By end of May.

  3. Address cracked and raised concrete in the park.

      • VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED to break up concrete with a jack hammer and relocate the debris.
      • Need 8 to 10 able-bodied individuals for this.
      • VGCA to provide rental of jack hammer.
      • Sidewalk leading to pool near the play equipment will be removed.
      • Two grills and concrete near the grills will be removed.
      • One grill will be relocated closer to the picnic shelter.  The other grill will be stored for future use if needed.
      • Bring a shovel, gloves, and/or a wheelbarrow.

    <li>WHEN:  Sat, April 13 11am-2pm

  4. Repair VGCA Clubhouse main waste line.

    • VOLUNTEER(S) NEEDED to break up concrete with a jack hammer and relocate the debris.
    • Need 4 to 6 able-bodied individuals for this.
    • We will rent a mini-excavator but there will still be a need for some manually digging and back filling.
    • We need to dig up about 45ft from side of clubhouse to the City’s cleanout.  Approximately 2.5ft down.
    • Bring a shovel, gloves, and/or a wheelbarrow.
    • WHEN:  Sat, May 4  9am-11am

I promise, no specialized skillset is needed to perform/lead these projects.  Just need some good old fashion time and energy.

Here are a few pics of what needs to be done.  Contact Donnie Woodruff for details if you are able to volunteer.

Neighborhood vehicle/pedestrian safety awareness

/in , , /by

One of the great aspects of our neighborhood is we look out for each other. There are times, however, where we may sometimes get complacent and forget, while we’re driving through the neighborhood, all the people who walk and bike in the same road we drive. The greatest thing we can do for our fellow neighbors is to keep our vigilance high while we’re driving through the neighborhood. How can we do that? We can follow the speed limit (25 MPH) for the neighborhood. We can, as we’re transitioning from one street to another (such as from a side street to the Village Green Parkway), think of those intersections as having an implicit yield sign. Take the time to look for other cars, families spending some time walking the neighborhood, neighbors walking their dog or opossum, or kids riding their bikes or skateboards and give them the right of way. This is especially important at night as there are many blind spots and not as well lit areas where one of your neighbors may be not visible or less visible until it is too late.

How else can we help each other? The intersections at Village Green Parkway and Baxter as well as Village Green Parkway by the Marquee/Park have seen an increase in drivers treating the STOP as more of a SLOW. Just recently someone in the neighborhood played chicken with a police officer (driving their personal vehicle at the time) at one of the intersections. Remember back to those driver training courses when you first got your license. The STOP sign is intended to allow you to have the time to determine who else may be in your direct path of motion and allow each of you navigate the intersection and get to your destination safely.

Please share this message with your friends, family, and neighbors. Let’s help keep this neighborhood the safe community it is.

Sat, Dec 2 @ 9am — Clean up day around tennis courts and park

/in , /by

On Saturday Dec 2nd starting at 9am, we will be attempting to get the area by the tennis courts cleaned up.  There is trash on the tennis courts, large limbs in the area, and bushes and small trees that need to be removed. Our goal is to make the area easier to maintain.  A team of us improved the fields under the power lines earlier this summer (removed overgrown brush and ground several stumps) which has made maintaining those areas much easier and less hazardous too.  The goal is to do that for the area back by the tennis courts. We will need the following:

  • A couple of trucks with trailers (preferred) to make runs to the landfill with debris (bushes, tree limbs).
  • A couple of chainsaws to handle larger limbs and small trees.
  • A few axes to help with chopping down very small trees.
  • Rakes and tarps.

Thank you!
