Park/pool raking event was a success!

/in , , /by

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!

Cooler weather is coming…help us paint the doors and trim up at the clubhouse/pool.

/in , , /by

We are still in need of a few volunteers to paint these doors. They are new and won’t need any wood replaced. Probably some quick cleanup and caulking before painting. VGCA will provide the supplies.

Please sign up here: https://vgnn.org/volunteer-opportunity/painting-doors-and-trim/

THANK YOU!

2019 Village Green Biathlon

/in , , /by

The annual Biathlon was run again with some previous athletes (Carrisa and Candice came out of retirement) and equally important MANY new faces!!! What a great time. This is what Village Green is all about. Connor was DJ and official race starter due to a bicycle accident the day before. We had several last minute entries which made it fun and exciting. Coach Amy brought a distance runner with her and the Block children were resourceful in drafting teammates. (The Woodruff’s are starting their training for next year’s biathlon beginning tomorrow.) Team Potatoes shot out of the gate with a great swim and then rocketed around Village Green Pkwy with the fastest run — admittedly, they caught the race organizers by surprise!!!

We had to run 3 heats because we had 14 teams! That was amazing…and made it a bit of a challenge for the official timekeeper. 😉 Thanks for the 14 timers that were able to help out using stopwatches and cell phones.

Great job to all the participants and of course to all the winners!

2019 Village Green Junior Biathlon

/in , , /by

The 1st annual Junior Biathlon was a SUCCESS and positioned these young athletes for future success in the Village Green Biathlon in coming years. We had 9 children participate…4 teams of 2 and 1 athlete that ran the grueling biathlon event by himself, Cameron (Coach Amy’s son). We had parents and spectators stationed throughout the cross-country track in the Village Green Park and these kids had a great time officially kicking off our 4th of July festivities this year!

Thanks to all the volunteers and spectators that came out and thanks to Connor for being the DJ and official starter for the evening.

Eye opening perspective on VGCA Membership

/in , /by

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:
