Our Fundraising for the park is ready to continue with the lightened COVID restrictions and warmer weather. The Basket Raffle that was originally planned for January will be starting on Sunday, May 30, at the park, with drawings happening at 6pm during the DJ in the park event. If you would like to donate a basket to the raffle or monetarily help in creating a basket, please contact Stephanie GianDonato at 240-672-2747. We will also be holding a 50/50 raffle with the proceeds also going to the playground equipment.
So far, we have raised just over $1,400 with a total goal of $3,000. The board has voted to our fundraising up to $3,000. Only $1,600 to go to reach our goal and receive the greatest match from the VGCA! We all deeply appreciate all the effort that has been put forth so far from the community to help make the new playground equipment a reality!
I am one of the volunteers for Village Green Community Association but more importantly a parent of two boys that use the park regularly. After finding the park littered with water bottles, empty bags of chips, and used napkins I had a talk with my boys. They were not the source of the trash but I asked them to model appropriate behavior for other children in the park.
I am asking all parents that have children (no matter what age) who use our park to remind them to pickup after themselves. Also have them respect the park, the equipment, and surrounding areas. Working up at the pool for many hours the past 3-4 weeks, I have seen actions by preteens and teens that indicate to me that the VGCA park and property are not being respected. The families before us have maintained VGCA property so our families can enjoy today and in the future.
I spent 10 mins of my morning picking up litter in the park. There are trash cans in the park — please have your children use those.
Thank you.

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.

Currently, the Village Green Patriots swim team is taking registrations for 4-18 year olds. We welcome all skill levels! This is a great way for children to enjoy the water even more, have special swim team “fun practices”, become a team, meet new friends, and learn and improve your child’s swimming. If you have any questions please fee free to email [email protected] and/or [email protected].
Thank you and we look forward to seeing many of you at the pool this summer!
