Volunteers needed for VGCA pool prep on Sun, May 31st

On Sunday, May 31st we will begin the process of preparing our pool in order to be inspected and possibly opened this season. If we can’t get the volunteers we need, then the VGCA will re-evaluate the need/desire to open the pool for the season. Please come out and help us get the pool ready.

The first shift will start around 9:30am, as I have had some interest from two families to start early and we can always use more volunteers. I will provide updates via Facebook around noon so others know where we stand.

What’s not done by the morning volunteers will need to be done in the afternoon beginning around 2pm. We will need the deck cleared so we can remove the covers at 4pm.

For removing the pool covers at 4pm, I will need 7-10 people to assist. If you have experience removing the covers from years ago, I could use some advice/guidance.

We need volunteers to help with these tasks:

  • Use weed-eaters around the outside and inside of the pool fence.
  • Trim bushes and small trees around pool area.
  • Blow, rake, and bag leaves from outside and inside the pool deck.
  • Set up the lifeguard stands.
  • Remove all furniture from the lifeguard shack and stack out of the way.
  • Remove baby pool cover.
  • Remove main pool cover.
  • Use pool leaf skimmer to remove debris from the water.

Remember to practice social distancing and consider wearing a mask.

THANK YOU!

Leaf raking part 2 rescheduled for Sun, Jan 5 1-3pm

Due to the rain Friday and Saturday, we will need to move the leaf raking for the park to Sunday afternoon 1-3pm.

My family has been sick all week, so it’s unlikely we will be able to make it. Hopefully we can get 10-15 volunteers with rakes, blowers (too wet?), and tarps to get the final cleanup completed.

The City plans to do the final leaf pickup beginning January 6th.

Thank you!

Leaf raking part 2 – Jan 4 9am-12pm

The City plans to do the final leaf pickup beginning January 6th. We will need many volunteers to make short work on the park/pool leaf cleanup. Bring rakes, tarps, and/or blowers to help us. Most of the leaves were raked/blown in late November, but we still have some cleanup to do on the leaves that fell since then.

We hope to have many volunteers to make short/easy work for all. We plan to do it from 9am-12pm on Saturday, January 4th.

If anyone wants to get started earlier, please feel free to rake/blow them to the front and leave 18-24″ from the curb for rainwater drainage.

Thank you in advance!

Help decorate the VGCA park for the holidays…

We plan to hang ornaments on the VGCA Christmas tree, bows and garland on the Village Green sign, and lights on the tree and bushes near the park.

Bring a dish and your holiday spirit and give us a hand decorating the entrance by the park. VGCA will provide the holiday music, lights, decorations, and hot chocolate for the event.

Dress warm as we will be working outside.

When: 4pm Saturday, Dec 7

Park/pool raking event was a success!

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!

Leaf raking — Nov 30 @ 9am

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.
