VGCA Pool Concessions Stand volunteers needed

/in , /by

Parents — we are looking for a volunteer that can help oversee the concession stand this summer.  It requires the following:

  • stocking inventory
  • setting pricing
  • collecting money
  • overseeing preteen and early teens — preferably your child(ren) and maybe a friend or two of theirs.
  • you set the hours and work around when the clubhouse is rented out.

It is a great way to teach them about customer service, handling money, and making a profit.

All profits go back to VGCA.  Tips go to the volunteers for the day.

Please message Donnie on FB or call/txt me at 757-768-9326 for additional details.

Thank you.

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!
