Memorial Day weekend at the pool
July 4th help wanted.
We are still in desperate need for volunteers for our July 4th celebration. We do not have any positions filled yet.
You can sign up online at the website or by contacting Amy Nuttall [email protected].
We will have a brief volunteer meeting at the clubhouse on Thursday, May 30th at 6pm. You may also bring any donations/raffle items you have collected.
In case you missed the original post, it is listed below.
Also, if you have helped in the past, please send Amy a note letting her know what you have done and whether or not you are able to help this year.
Original Post:
Our 4th of July celebration is 50, so let’s make it fabulous!!
We need volunteers to help coordinate this year’s celebration. There is a wide variety of tasks and no help is too small. We are hoping to have enough volunteers this year so that we can have a committee chair/lead for at least the following areas (click on links for more info):
- Kids Carnival
- Swimming Pool Olympics
- Parade/Biathlon
- Raffle
- Bake-off/Chili Cook-off
- Unsure where to help, then sign up here
There is a lot of work and we really need as many volunteers as possible to make this day a success.
One of the tasks that everyone can help with is to begin gathering donations for the raffle prizes. These can be gift cards, services, experiences, or items. There is always a lot of excitement surrounding the raffle, and this is a great way for everyone to be a part of it.
Please sign up on the links above or if you have questions, please email Amy Nuttall with any questions: [email protected].
We need your help…
VGCA would like for our new stairs to last as long as they can, so we are asking that members let their children, grandchildren, and guests know that these stairs are for our younger swimmers as well as swimmers who are not able to use the ladder.
We still have all 4 ladders in the pool and one is located within 6 feet of this one so I am requesting that all able-bodied children and adults continue to use the ladders instead of the stairs.
Thank you.

Village Green Swim-a-thon funds new lane ropes, a cover, and improvements
Last summer one of our swim team parents (thanks Janelle) had a great idea to raise some money for the swim team. The neighborhood as well as family and friends were quite generous and we raised over $3000. The Village Green Swim Team purchased new lane ropes and we had a few swimmers help us get them on the cart.
The cart also got a make-over. New paint job, new wheels, and some marine epoxy on the plastic discs to help extend their life. Thanks Jonathan McBride for the Village Green paint job as well as installing the new wheels.
If you haven’t joined the swim team already, this is the year to do so…Village Green will be looking great in and out of the water!
VGCA Pool Hours May 25 through June 16
Sign up now to enjoy the VGCA pool…it’s going to be a GREAT year!
It’s a great year to join the pool!
This is my 4th year managing the pool and it will be our best year yet! I have slowly made improvements over the years (doors, paint job), listened to and implemented ideas, and helped get “new” tables, chairs, and lounges.
It’s going to be a great year and I am hoping we will see increased membership as well as some new/young faces enjoying our best community asset.
VGCA Membership Drive Update
We are making progress, let’s keep it going. It’s going to be a great summer at the pool…a lot of hard work has been put into it and we have “newer” furniture as well.
Sign up for your VGCA membership and join the pool, then come out and enjoy it this summer.
