As some of you may know, the Village Green Community Association held its annual Board Election Tuesday night (27 October). There were quite a few changes this year. The biggest change being the number of members who have volunteered to serve our community. Looking forward, we will have a full Board of Directors and seven Committee Leads. The following list is the new VGCA Board of Directors and Committee Leads.
- President: Amy Nuttall
- Vice President: Johnathan McBride
- Treasurer: Pete Fry
- Secretary: Stephanie GianDionato
Committee Leads
- Social Committee Lead: Audra Joyner
- Grounds Committee Lead: Ryan Greene
- Membership Committee Lead: Laura Cvitanovich
- Neighborhood Watch Area Coordinator: Glenn Woodell
- Pool Management Committee Lead: Donnie Woodruff
- Communications Committee Lead: Josh Jordan (That’s me, Hi!!)
- Governance Committee Lead: Andy Maciejewski
I would like to say a special thank you to Rich Spivak for his many years of service as Secretary. Rich stepped down this year from that role but will continue to volunteer to help with our Grounds Committee. I would also like to say thank you to the many volunteers who have helped make this neighborhood a community. Volunteerism is a core component to what allows us to have many of the amenities that we take for granted to include the playground, and pool. There is a large amount of work that goes into each of these areas and volunteers are always needed. If you see an area in which you would be willing to help in please feel free to reach out. We will be updating the email lists so that they reach the right people in the next few days. For now, if you email [email protected] I will put you in touch with the right people.
Finally, I will be doing my best to get the word out to our community as best as I can about events, news, and important updates to our community. If you catch someone being neighborly, volunteering, or they just did something extra nice for our community, call them out. Let’s make it a habit to recognize the good things happening here in the Green.
Fund our Fun
/in Village Green /by VGCA Crier EditorFund Our Fun
I wanted to take a minuet to let you in on a few things going on around the neighborhood. As you all know the next big event is our First Annual Turkey Trot. A short 5K run for a good cause. What is that good cause you may have been asking? How about some new playground equipment to replace the current set we have in the neighborhood park. Thanks to many, many volunteers we have been able to keep the current set going. It’s to the point though that the current equipment will not be useable much longer. So our Social Committee volunteers have started a “Fund our Fun” program to raise money to get something for the kids to play on. Kids being kids they would play on anything given a chance. However, going down the slide with a crack in bottom might lead to more ripped pants than Mama Bear wants to deal with. The Goal is to fund and have a new set in place before next Memorial Day when our Summer activities really kick off. So as we post these events, and others that make our neighborhood a true Village, come show some support. Cheer on our runners as they pass by, volunteer to help out, or even just sending out a thank you to those who are hard at work to make some magic happen. Of course Donations are always welcomed. One big way to help out is to become a Village Green Community Association member to help us fund the upkeep of the entire Village Green.
VGCA Turkey Trot 2020 Fundraiser
/in Post, Uncategorized, Village Green /by VGCA Crier Editor*****ATTENTION*****
In light of the currently imposed restrictions to gathering size due to COVID-19 by the Governor, we are going to stop accepting runners for the Turkey Trot. We greatly appreciate everyone’s efforts and will leave the registration open for donations. Efforts are still in place to ensure everyone is as safe as possible and still have fun. The best thing is to make sure you bring your mask and wear it until you start the Trot. Thank you everyone for bearing with us and helping to make this event a success still.
Sign up for the first annual VGCA Turkey Trot! It will be held on November 21st in Village Green. Adult 5K registrations for $15 and kids 1 mile fun run for $5. Sign in will start at 10:00 outside by the club house. The kids 1 mile fun run will start at 10:30 and be a single lap around the Village Green loop. The Adult 5k will start at 11:00 with 2 trips around the neighborhood with the Minuteman/Crown Pointe Loop. A little run for the betterment of the community. Proceeds to go to the “Fund our Fun” for new playground equipment. Can’t wait to see you there!
