Looking for Volunteers

Hey Neighbors,

There are some positions that are open currently that really could use some volunteers. Primarily we are in need of someone to fill the role of Secretary. It would also be very helpful if we had a new Communications lead as well. As much as I have enjoyed watching our neighborhood improve in so many ways, work is taking me elsewhere for a little bit and the community would be better served by another volunteer. If you can commit a few hours a week at most to helping, please reach out to [email protected] and let them know. As always, we are also looking for volunteers to help with the landscaping and pool maintenance as well. I will be seeing you around the neighborhood.

Summer pool hours starting June 18

 

Pool hours from beginning June 18.  Please keep in mind that we will share the pool with HRA campers on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 130-330pm from June 21 through August 4.

The first Village Green Swim Meet is Sunday, June 12 (9am)

 

Our first swim meet with be this Sunday, June 12 at 9am.  We will be hosting Windsor Great Park — another Newport News swim team.  We usually hold the meets on a Monday evening, but due to NNPS getting out a week later than York County and James City County schools we have had to shift out schedule to Sunday morning for the first meet.

Come on out and support our swimmers!
