Pool will be open on Mondays

We have some great pool news!  Since we surpassed 90 pool members this season (93 currently), we will be opening on Mondays for 5 weeks.  If we surpass 100 pool members we will look to stay open on Mondays for an additional 5 weeks.  So, talk to your neighbors tell them about the great things going on at the pool and entice them to join!

Here are the anticipated days/times we will be open on Mondays:

  • Mon, June 21:  12-6pm
  • Mon, June 28:  12-4pm (swim meet at 5pm)
  • Mon, July 5: 12-4pm (swim meet at 5pm)

Please get your pool passes now

Our pool will be open the following days/times for Memorial Day weekend:

  • Sat, May 29 11am-8pm
  • Sun, May 30 1pm-8pm
  • Mon, May 30 11am-8pm

As Memorial Day weekend and the 2021 opening of our Village Green pool approaches, the VGCA would like to remind everyone that you must join the Village Green Community Association and the pool in order to enjoy the pool. Any resident of Village Green, whether you rent or own, may purchase a membership.  The easiest way to do this is to go to https://vgnn.org/join and either use the Paypal link (fees apply) or print out the form and turn it in to the green mailbox in the front flower bed at 625 Brandywine Drive.

Donnie Woodruff, the pool manager, and Laura Cvitanovich, the membership chairman, plan to enjoy the holiday weekend with their families and will not be available to process and verify memberships through the weekend.

Although we will continue to accept memberships throughout the summer, if you plan on joining the pool AND using it during the opening weekend, please turn in your paperwork prior to the close of business (5 PM) on Tuesday, May 25. This will ensure that your payment can be processed and your pool bands delivered before the weekend.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

8 days of progress with the pool

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.

A few positive changes for the 2021 pool season…

 

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.

Pool season will be here before you know it…

Happy New Year!  After our first snowfall of the year and a second one possibly coming on Sunday, I figured I would remind the pool lovers out there what will be here in a just 4 short months…

With that said…if you are interested in being a lifeguard at our pool, please send me a txt (757-768-9326) or email [email protected].

I am also looking for a couple of adults to help me with the pool this Spring and Summer as we will be self managing again this year since it was such a SUCCESS last year!

 

 

Pool closed today, Sept 20

With a forecast of temps in the upper 60s and a northeast wind 10-15-mph we will not open the pool today.

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!
