Mon, July 27 (5-8pm) — Food trucks and Swim Meet

On Monday, July 27 we will have Kona Ice and Frank’s Monster Munchies back in the neighborhood. Please come on out and support this local vendor as well as the swim team as they kick off their last week of swim camp with an intra-squad meet. Please feel free to cheer on the kids from outside the fence as we will be limiting access to the pool deck in order to provide a safer environment for all.

PLEASE NOTE: Frank’s Monster Munchies will NOT be taking pre-orders this time.

Head up to the park, order some food, cheer on the kids while you wait, and then enjoy the delicious food from Frank’s Monster Munchies…support local and support someone who supported us while we were still in Phase 1!

VGCA Grounds Committee

I’ve had many folks come up to me recently asking, “How can I help?” Without a Grounds Committee Lead, I reached out to most of those folks who have expressed interest and we held a meeting. Some are relatively new Village Green neighbors and others have been here for a while. We had 10 volunteers attend the meeting. They are our VGCA Grounds Committee (but we still need a committee lead) that will begin to tackle projects around the VGCA properties.

They have tackled a few projects already!

They stepped up to mow the two VGCA lots near Plymouth Circle (under the power lines) for Steve Frame for the rest of this season. Thanks Max D and Josh J for helping out! The grass cutting by Steve and a few other neighbors goes unnoticed but is an important part for maintaining our property. THANK YOU to all those that cut VGCA grass.

The group also cut down two red tips and a small tree around the pool deck which was causing the concrete pool deck to raise in one section. It also helps minimize the amount of leaves on the pool deck. Thanks — Ryan G, Steve G, and Glenn M.

Some general park cleanup was done as well thanks to Peter G heading that up. I am sure others helped out — thanks for everything the group is doing!

Next, they plan to tackle some safety concerns around the park and tennis courts, so if you see more activity in those areas it’s more than likely a member of the Grounds Committee.

Neighbors living around the park and tennis courts area, don’t hesitate to say “hi”, introduce yourself, and “thank” them. Along with this, you can also verify they are a Grounds Committee member at the same time. 😉

Eye opening perspective on VGCA Membership

Since March, we have been showing our VGCA Membership Drive information compared to our goal. The image above shows a more disconcerting view into our membership situation. Surprisingly, not even 1/2 of our neighbors are supporting Village Green and less than a 1/4 support our pool.

If you are a member, help us get the word out. Talk to your neighbors and ask them if they support the neighborhood. Ask them if they are seeing updates and emails from the Village Green Crier — if not direct them to the vgnn.org website…help promote our GREAT neighborhood!

For those not a member or not a pool member — consider that all residents (owners and renters) benefit from the pool, clubhouse, park, playground and manicured entrances by improved quality of life and attracting desired home owners/neighbors. This is a wonderful neighborhood…please consider joining as a VGCA member but it would be best that you join as a VGCA Rec/Pool member to help support our pool.

Here is the membership information compared to our goal of 225 VGCA members and 100 VGCA Rec/Pool members:
