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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
