Leaf raking part 2 rescheduled for Sun, Jan 5 1-3pm

/in , , /by

Due to the rain Friday and Saturday, we will need to move the leaf raking for the park to Sunday afternoon 1-3pm.

My family has been sick all week, so it’s unlikely we will be able to make it. Hopefully we can get 10-15 volunteers with rakes, blowers (too wet?), and tarps to get the final cleanup completed.

The City plans to do the final leaf pickup beginning January 6th.

Thank you!

Leaf raking part 2 – Jan 4 9am-12pm

/in , , , /by

The City plans to do the final leaf pickup beginning January 6th. We will need many volunteers to make short work on the park/pool leaf cleanup. Bring rakes, tarps, and/or blowers to help us. Most of the leaves were raked/blown in late November, but we still have some cleanup to do on the leaves that fell since then.

We hope to have many volunteers to make short/easy work for all. We plan to do it from 9am-12pm on Saturday, January 4th.

If anyone wants to get started earlier, please feel free to rake/blow them to the front and leave 18-24″ from the curb for rainwater drainage.

Thank you in advance!

Santa visits Village Green

/in , , /by

NNFD Station 6 had a special delivery for some very special children in Village Green on Saturday, Dec 21st. Santa delivered a couple of dozen donuts when he stopped by Station 6 awaiting his ride over in the big red sleigh with lights and sirens on.

Diane, Joy, Cheryl, Amy, and Debi saw that the children had gingerbread houses, pancakes, donuts, and the arrival of a special guest with presents for the little ones. Knowing Santa so well, he told me it really made his Christmas to have so many little ones welcome him with open arms. It was truly amazing and I hear he will be back…

For any parents looking for pics, please email me at [email protected] and I will send you a link to the photos we took.

Santa had the help of some special elves as well…thank you to everyone that made this event happen!

Bring a dish and your holiday spirit and give us a hand decorating the entrance by the park. VGCA will provide the holiday music, lights, decorations, and hot chocolate for the event.

Dress warm as we will be working outside.

When: 4pm Saturday, Dec 7

Park/pool raking event was a success!

/in , , /by

We had quite a few volunteers come out today and from their hard work, we were able to get the park and pool areas cleaned up.

We have mountains of leaves near the front of Village Green, so please be careful when turning onto VGP.

Thank you to all of those that helped. You truly make this a wonderful neighborhood to live in!

Leaf raking — Nov 30 @ 9am

/in , , /by

It’s that time a year… The City plans to pickup leaves Dec 2-13 and then again in early January. We will need many volunteers to make short work on the park and pool leaf cleanup. Bring rakes, tarps, and/or blowers to help us. Sign up here for Nov 30 as we plan to have donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate that morning.

If there are folks who are available to rake during the week, please feel free to begin Nov 20th or later. Please leave about 12-18 inches along the curb so rain water can head to the sewer unimpeded.
