It takes many key volunteers to have the pool, swim camp, food truck events, movies in the park, DJ, and our parade. Thank you to Laura Poole, Wes Poole, Jenn Greene, Doris Dennis, Rachel McBride, Janelle Maciejewski, Stan VanPelt, Joy Charbonneau, the VGCA Board, and anyone else I might have missed.
A big special thanks goes out to Laura Cvitanovich for being there each step of the way with the pool and at the last possible moment getting NNFD Station #6 to do the parade. Truly…without her we don’t have the pool or 4th of July Parade this year.
Behind the scenes, 40 days ago the pool wasn’t going to open, no swim team/camp, and no parade. Through dedication and many hours we were able to do it!
Please show you support for your neighbors and our amazing community by joining VGCA for $75 a year. Consider joining the pool too! https://vgnn.org/join
Thank you and this is truly the best neighborhood!

Reservations are no longer required BUT the following will be required.
Before entering the VGCA pool area, you must see a lifeguard on duty and do the following:
Show your 2020 VGCA POOL MEMBER bracelet.
Provide your street address and name.
Answer the following questions to the best of your ability:
Do you have any of the following?
A fever (100.4 or higher) OR a sense of a fever, now or within the past 24 hours?
Shortness of breath or cough?
Chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or other flu-like symptoms?
Are you ill or caring for someone who is ill?
In the past 2 weeks have you been in contact with someone who has COVID-19 or have you or a household member visited a high risk area where COVID-19 is spreading?
Based on the above, the lifeguard on duty will determine if you can enter the pool area.
Any concerns or questions about these procedures must be directed to the VGCA Pool Manager, Donnie Woodruff. The lifeguards cannot answer questions about Phase 3 protocols.

Also, please be neighborly and give others a chance to reserve a time slot for the Shallow End Swim Lanes and the Baby Pool. My suggestion is not to book multiple time slots for the same day ahead of time (only choose one). If you are up at the pool and want to extend you time slot and the next 2 hour window is available, book it on your phone at that time. It’s quite easy.
I plan to post the reservation slots for this coming week sometime this evening…probably after 9pm.
