VGCA Annual Meeting

November 10, 2023/in Crier, Village Green, Volunteers /by VGCA Pool Manager

The VGCA will host its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, November 14 from 630-730pm in the clubhouse. The agenda will include an annual update on progress from the VGCA Directors and election of the Board of Directors.

The nominated Board of Directors is as follows:

President – VACANT
Vice President – VACANT
Secretary – VACANT
Treasurer – Kelly Matteson
Pool Committee Lead – Donnie Woodruff
Grounds Committee Lead – VACANT
Communications Committee Lead – Ryan La Riviere
Neighborhood Watch Lead – Glenn Woodell
Governance Committee Lead – Andy Maciejewski
Membership Committee Lead – VACANT
Social Committee Lead – Audra Joyner

Inquiries, nominations, or new business can be sent to the VGCA Board prior to the meeting at [email protected].

As far as definitions of the VACANT posiitons, please understand the committee lead positions are pretty flexible and is what you make it (with the help of our volunteers). Main thing is to be a coordinator for volunteers to get things done. For example, there is a crew that cuts the grass on the power lines but sometimes we have to remind our volunteers or find substitutes. And it never hurts to lead by example and get on the mower from time to time. Better to maintain than to have to spend hours with a brush hog to handle grass and brush that was not handled (I speak from experience).

President, Vice President, and Secretary:

Volunteer Power!

May 1, 2023/in Crier, Village Green, Volunteers /by VGCA Pool Manager

This is the busiest time of year for many of our VGCA volunteers that help keep Village Green looking great! Please keep in mind that VGCA and the Village Green Swim Team are run by 100% volunteers. Whether signing up for the swim team, inquiring about memberships, or renting the clubhouse/pool please consider we do this as volunteers and try to do our best to respond in a timely manner.

The same thing goes for maintaining the park, the pool, and the common areas under the power lines. The movies and events up at the park are also all handled by volunteers. Many of us (and our family members) pull double duty volunteering in various areas in Village Green.

We appreciate your patience as well as your membership.

To all of our volunteers — THANK YOU!

Looking for a way to help out? Please contact one of the committee leads or email the board at [email protected].
