Looking for Volunteers

/in , , /by

Hey Neighbors,

There are some positions that are open currently that really could use some volunteers. Primarily we are in need of someone to fill the role of Secretary. It would also be very helpful if we had a new Communications lead as well. As much as I have enjoyed watching our neighborhood improve in so many ways, work is taking me elsewhere for a little bit and the community would be better served by another volunteer. If you can commit a few hours a week at most to helping, please reach out to [email protected] and let them know. As always, we are also looking for volunteers to help with the landscaping and pool maintenance as well. I will be seeing you around the neighborhood.

Annual Call for Board Nominees

/in , /by

It is that time of the year again! Time to nominate your 2021-2022 VGCA Board of Directors. If you, or a neighbor, are interested in lending your talents to help improve our community by serving with this dedicated group of volunteer leaders, please get with Jonathan McBride or Andy Maciejewski for more information. Nominees must be VGCA members in good standing and be willing to commit to at least 8hrs monthly through attendance at board meetings and leadership. Board roles include – President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and committee leads (including Communications, Grounds, Governance, Membership, Neighborhood Watch, Pool/Clubhouse, & Social).

This year, we are really looking intently for someone with financial skills to serve as Treasurer and relieve Pete Fry who has diligently served for the last 11 years. The Treasurer leads the annual budget process, handles payments/ reimbursements, manages finances, and takes care of financial/legal filings with the support of other officers. Pete has offered to support the incoming Treasurer as they learn this important role.  A slate of nominees will be presented and elected at the Annual Meeting in October. The Nominating Committee can be reached at [email protected].

Attention Community! Open Board Meeting to take place on May 18th starting at 5pm. From 5-6pm we will be enjoying hotdogs and conversation by the pool. 6-7pm will be the meeting. Please come out to support the community, turn in your membership forms, and socialize with your neighbors! The Board looks forward to announcing all the great things we have planned for the summer, including some park rehabilitation and many events! As a reminder the current Covid-19 guidelines allow for us to have up to 100 people in an outdoor setting. Masks and social distancing are still part of the guidelines. We look forward to seeing you all there and to be able to share the exciting plans for the summer.

Hello Neighbors

/in , /by

As some of you may know, the Village Green Community Association held its annual Board Election Tuesday night (27 October). There were quite a few changes this year. The biggest change being the number of members who have volunteered to serve our community. Looking forward, we will have a full Board of Directors and seven Committee Leads. The following list is the new VGCA Board of Directors and Committee Leads.

  • President: Amy Nuttall
  • Vice President: Johnathan McBride
  • Treasurer:  Pete Fry
  • Secretary: Stephanie GianDionato

Committee Leads

  • Social Committee Lead: Audra Joyner
  • Grounds Committee Lead: Ryan Greene
  • Membership Committee Lead: Laura Cvitanovich
  • Neighborhood Watch Area Coordinator: Glenn Woodell
  • Pool Management Committee Lead: Donnie Woodruff
  • Communications Committee Lead: Josh Jordan (That’s me, Hi!!)
  • Governance Committee Lead: Andy Maciejewski

I would like to say a special thank you to Rich Spivak for his many years of service as Secretary. Rich stepped down this year from that role but will continue to volunteer to help with our Grounds Committee. I would also like to say thank you to the many volunteers who have helped make this neighborhood a community. Volunteerism is a core component to what allows us to have many of the amenities that we take for granted to include the playground, and pool. There is a large amount of work that goes into each of these areas and volunteers are always needed. If you see an area in which you would be willing to help in please feel free to reach out. We will be updating the email lists so that they reach the right people in the next few days. For now, if you email [email protected] I will put you in touch with the right people.

Finally, I will be doing my best to get the word out to our community as best as I can about events, news, and important updates to our community. If you catch someone being neighborly, volunteering, or they just did something extra nice for our community, call them out. Let’s make it a habit to recognize the good things happening here in the Green.
