Around the Neighborhood

Did you know that our community owns and is responsible for the mowing and upkeep of not only the park and pool but also the power lines property that bisects the neighborhood? Every year, community volunteers donate their time and sometimes their own equipment to help maintain these areas. While the VGCA Board works to organize and facilitate the care of these community areas (and often joins in the actual effort), the ability to accomplish many of these ongoing maintenance chores is limited by costs and volunteer availability. Because Village Green is a non-mandatory association, the VGCA is not a separate business or organization, it is rather a collective of neighbors. Individuals who live here are equally empowered to contribute to the upkeep either through dues or volunteer participation.  Thank you to the unsung neighbors who have graciously mowed the power lines, mowed the median strips in the front when the city failed to so, and provided major maintenance to overgrown shrubbery beds.

VGCA owns and is responsible for nearly 7.5 acres in Village Green

On to the good news! Two Village Green families sourced and donated a (new to us) lawn tractor and push mower to the VGCA. Plans are in the works to modify the shed in the park to accommodate and store the tractor. Now all we need are few volunteers! Is anyone willing to pitch in and take a turn with some mowing chores? It doesn’t have to be a full summer commitment; you can just add your name to the list. As the need arises, you may be contacted to check your availability. If you can drive a lawn tractor and are interested in helping out for a few hours, please email [email protected] to add your name to the list.
