New to Us Lawn Tractor Finds a Home in Village Green

/in , /by

Did you know that our community owns and is responsible for the mowing and upkeep of not only the park and pool but also the power lines property that bisects the neighborhood? Every year, community volunteers donate their time and sometimes their own equipment to help maintain these areas. While the VGCA Board works to organize and facilitate the care of these community areas (and often joins in the actual effort), the ability to accomplish many of these ongoing maintenance chores is limited by costs and volunteer availability. Because Village Green is a non-mandatory association, the VGCA is not a separate business or organization, it is rather a collective of neighbors. Individuals who live here are equally empowered to contribute to the upkeep either through dues or volunteer participation.  Thank you to the unsung neighbors who have graciously mowed the power lines, mowed the median strips in the front when the city failed to so, and provided major maintenance to overgrown shrubbery beds.

VGCA owns and is responsible for nearly 7.5 acres in Village Green

On to the good news! Two Village Green families sourced and donated a (new to us) lawn tractor and push mower to the VGCA. Plans are in the works to modify the shed in the park to accommodate and store the tractor. Now all we need are few volunteers! Is anyone willing to pitch in and take a turn with some mowing chores? It doesn’t have to be a full summer commitment; you can just add your name to the list. As the need arises, you may be contacted to check your availability. If you can drive a lawn tractor and are interested in helping out for a few hours, please email grounds@vgnn.org to add your name to the list.

Help needed (changed): VGCA Pool cover removal Monday, Apr 25 @ 645pm

We will need about 15 strong folks to help us remove the pool cover on Monday, April 25 at 645pm.  Please stop by a few mins before 645pm and we should have the cover removed within 15 mins.

Thank you in advance!

 

Village Green neighbors are amazing!!!

On a blustery but beautiful day, Village Green Neighbors were out in full force prepping the park and pool area for summer fun! Volunteers pitched in to finish up details on the park equipment, clean off the pool deck and pull out chaise lounges and chairs, clean and organize the clubhouse storage area and clean the bathrooms and kitchen area, clear leaves from around the pool perimeter and spread mulch in the flower beds. I tried to catch everyone in pictures, but I may have missed some. A huge thank you to these and all of our volunteers who come together to make this such a great neighborhood. We appreciate you and the work you so willingly do!

A big thanks goes out to Glenn and Wendy Woodell, Dave and Laura Cvitanovich, Amy Nuttal, Jonathan and Rachel McBride, Ryan and Jenn Greene, Ambrose and his boys, the Blocks, James and Aidan Mountjoy, Glenn Magnussen, Phil Krauss, Debi Henderson, Rich Spivak, Thomas Herrera, and Coach Amy.  If we missed anyone…THANK YOU!

VGCA Membership Drive Continues

/in , , /by

Membership flyers are making their way into mailboxes and doors during the month of March. Please join your neighbors and friends to support the upkeep and maintenance of all of our commonly held properties. Last year, the non-negotiable costs to maintain the community (not including the pool) such as insurance, utilities, trash service, website, and gas and upkeep of mowers, totaled more than $8000. Membership in the VGCA, at $75 per year amounts to @ .20/per day. The cost of membership has remained at the same low price for more than 20 years.

You may join by filling out the green membership form and returning it to 625 Brandywine Drive or you may pay via Paypal (fees apply) at vgnn.org/join. If you have membership-related questions, please email membership@vgnn.org.

2022 VGCA Membership Drive has begun

/in , , /by

The Village Green Community Association will begin its annual membership drive during the month of March. Membership in the VGCA has remained at the same low rate of just $75, @ $6 per month, but that $6 per month goes towards paying for the many expenses our neighborhood cannot avoid: liability insurance, utilities, upkeep and maintenance of the buildings and common areas, gas for the mowers (otherwise powered by a team of volunteers), and dozens of other incidental expenses involved in keeping the community in good working order.

Membership flyers will be making their way into mailboxes and doors during the next 4 – 6 weeks. You may fill out the flyer and return it to the green mailbox at 625 Brandywine, or you can link to the online membership form and pay via Paypal (fees apply). If you have membership related questions, please email membership@vgnn.org

Please go to https://vgnn.org/join for additional info and/or to pay online.
