2022 VGCA Membership Drive has begun

/in , , /by

The Village Green Community Association will begin its annual membership drive during the month of March. Membership in the VGCA has remained at the same low rate of just $75, @ $6 per month, but that $6 per month goes towards paying for the many expenses our neighborhood cannot avoid: liability insurance, utilities, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings and common areas, gas for the mowers (otherwise powered by a team of volunteers), and dozens of other incidental expenses involved in keeping the community in good working order.

Membership flyers will be making their way into mailboxes and doors during the next 4 – 6 weeks. You may fill out the flyer and return it to the green mailbox at 625 Brandywine, or you can link to the online membership form and pay via Paypal (fees apply). If you have membership related questions, please email [email protected]

Please go to https://vgnn.org/join for additional info and/or to pay online.

VGCA Pool info for the upcoming 2022 season

/in , , , /by

VGCA Pool Members:

A few things to consider for the upcoming season:

  • The hours will be very similar to last year.
    • Tuesday-Friday and Sunday 1pm-8pm
    • Saturday 11am-6pm
    • Monday — potentially (see next bullet point)
  • We will look to open on Mondays similar to last year if we hit membership goals listed below.
    • 90 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays thru July 18.
    • 100 VGCA Rec/Pool memberships and we will open on Mondays for the entire season.
  • We will look to offer an adult lap swim 8-9pm during the summer.
  • Concessions will be improved from last year.
  • Pool rules will stay the same.
  • We will have an Out of School Pool Party.
  • HRA and CGBD plan to use our pool again this year.
    • We plan to receive revenue from rental agreements with Hampton Roads Academy (HRA) and the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) Swim Team.  This helps us keep the pool running and in great shape.
    • HRA campers will use the pool during open swim Tues/Thurs 130-330pm during the summer.
    • CGBD will use the pool Mon-Fri 5am-9am — the pool is closed to all other swimmers at this time.

The membership drive will be right around the corner…keep an eye out for additional information.

Thank you!

Pool Volunteer Needed

/in , , , /by

As VGCA continues to self-manage the pool, we are looking for an extra volunteer.  Specifically, I am looking for an adult that can help me with the following:

  • provide guidance and support to lifeguards.
  • answer questions for new and potential members.
  • help monitor pool chemicals and the pumps (very easy to do).

It is a great opportunity to give back to the neighborhood especially for an adult who is up at the pool on a regular basis.  There is very little effort involved but it would help me out during the week when I am working.

Email me at [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

February Service Project

These valentines will put a smile on the face of those in local nursing homes and war their hearts!!!

All other home-made cards and be dropped off in the tote on the porch at 657 VGP.

Santa’s VG drive-by on Dec 21 6pm

/in , /by

 

Santa and his elves will be driving by all the houses in Village Green on Tuesday, Dec 21 beginning at 6pm.  He is hoping to see many of you on your porches so he can wave as he drives by in a golf cart.

Santa needs lifeguards….

/in /by

Santa is going to be busy the next couple of weeks…but keep in mind he will need lifeguards to staff our Village Green Community Association pool this upcoming season.  It’s never too early to get certified or to get your name on our candidate list.

If you are interested in being a lifeguard at our pool, please send Donnie a txt (757-768-9326) or email [email protected].

Lifeguards will need to be at least 15 yrs old and certified.  Please check with the YMCA, Riverside Fitness Center, and/or the Red Cross for classes during the Winter/Spring.

Breakfast with Santa

/in /by

Parents the big day is quickly approaching for Big Man himself to come join us for a very special breakfast. Please ensure you plan accordingly with a wrapped gift with your child’s name on it and drop it off at 657 VGP by Wednesday, December 8. This helps to keep things organized and full of holiday spirit. Please keep the presents to under $20 as well. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Call for Volunteers for Treasurer and Rental Coordinator

/in /by

As many of us would agree this is one in a million neighborhood. The one thing that sets it apart from so many others is the number of volunteers we have to help make things happen and keep everything going. We come to rely on those people day in and day out but there comes a time when the torch must be passed. Pete Fry has served as Treasurer for as long as anyone can remember but now, we need a new neighbor to step up and fulfil that role. It doesn’t take much time, or so I’m told, to be the Treasurer. He is even willing to share his experience and knowledge to help get the right person going.

We will also be looking for a new Clubhouse Rental Coordinator. Mrs. Mary Milton has faithfully served in this capacity but starting the new year will be stepping down. Her efforts have greatly served the Village Green with many celebrations, and she has our everlasting thanks.

If not for the volunteers in the neighborhood, then hardly anything would be possible to accomplish. If you would like to volunteer for either of these roles specifically or to volunteer in general, please let the board know. As always, they can be reached by email at [email protected] or you can reach out to me at [email protected].
