Village Green – the best place to live in Newport News!

VGCA owns nearly 7.5 acres

/in , /by

Did you know that Village Green Community Association (VGCA) owns approximately 7.5 acres in our neighborhood? On that land we have a clubhouse, pool, basketball court, playground equipment, park benches, picnic tables, pickleball courts, grills, and split-rail fencing along the neighborhood cut throughs in the inner loops.  These 7.5 acres add to the property value of all our homes and provide much needed green space in a city that is seeing that shrink. We are a volunteer run organization who perform all of the maintenance and upkeep on that property.

VGCA membership dues are very important for the neighborhood as it allows us to maintain these common areas, playground equipment, clubhouse, pickleball courts, and pool.

The VGCA membership drive continues for this year and VGCA always takes donations to pay for things such as gas and repairs for our lawn equipment.  Support VGCA by joining and possibly volunteering some time.

The VGCA Membership form can be found here:  https://vgnn.org/join

VGCA Membership

/in , /by

Join TodayNow is the perfect time to join the VGCA with a Recreation Membership. Not only do you get usage of the pool, pickle ball court, and basketball court, but if you sign up before April 30, you will receive 5 free pool passes.

Not a swimmer, pickle baller, or dribbler? You can still help to keep the neighborhood owned areas looking nice, post that special message on the marquee, get discounts on pool or the newly renovated clubhouse rentals, access to community exclusive events, and have a voice in your community by joining with an Association Membership.

Want to contribute to the community further, why not consider volunteering? Not only do you get that feel good feeling by helping to make the neighborhood a better place, it’s also a great opportunity to meet fellow neighbors. Maybe you’ll meet your new best friend.

VGCA Annual Meeting

/in , , /by

The VGCA will host its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, November 14 from 630-730pm in the clubhouse. The agenda will include an annual update on progress from the VGCA Directors and election of the Board of Directors.

The nominated Board of Directors is as follows:

  1. President – VACANT
  2. Vice President – VACANT
  3. Secretary – VACANT
  4. Treasurer – Kelly Matteson
  5. Pool Committee Lead – Donnie Woodruff
  6. Grounds Committee Lead – VACANT
  7. Communications Committee Lead – Ryan La Riviere
  8. Neighborhood Watch Lead – Glenn Woodell
  9. Governance Committee Lead – Andy Maciejewski
  10. Membership Committee Lead – VACANT
  11. Social Committee Lead – Audra Joyner

Inquiries, nominations, or new business can be sent to the VGCA Board prior to the meeting at [email protected].

As far as definitions of the VACANT posiitons, please understand the committee lead positions are pretty flexible and is what you make it (with the help of our volunteers).  Main thing is to be a coordinator for volunteers to get things done.  For example, there is a crew that cuts the grass on the power lines but sometimes we have to remind our volunteers or find substitutes.  And it never hurts to lead by example and get on the mower from time to time.  Better to maintain than to have to spend hours with a brush hog to handle grass and brush that was not handled (I speak from experience).
President, Vice President, and Secretary:
Grounds Committee Lead:
  • Develop a budget for repairs and upkeep for common grounds, playground, basketball court, tennis courts, and the VGCA Clubhouse.
  • Organizing work teams to accomplish such repairs/upkeep.
  • April to September are most active months for this.
  • Attend monthly VGCA Board meetings as a voting member.
Membership Committee Lead:
  • Promote VGCA memberships.
  • Lead annual VGCA membership drive.
  • Primary contact for collecting membership dues and explaining VGCA membership structure.
  • March-July are most active months for this.
  • Attend monthly VGCA Board meetings as a voting member.
