Village Mill Spring Work Day
 The Village Mill Spring Work Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd beginning at 8 am. Please bring your shovels, rakes, gloves, spades, wheelbarrows, brooms, etc.
Whether we live in the neighborhood or are an associate member, we all enjoy the pool and grounds during the year and appreciate everyone's participation. There is a tremendous amount of work needed to keep our pool and grounds in the best possible condition. Come join your friends and make new ones! If you are unable to attend the work day you can still help. Consider donating some plants, or making a monetary donation to VMCI to help with the purchase of supplies. Come out and help keep our pool and tennis grounds and facilities looking as attractive as possible. VMCI will provide coffee and doughnuts for all workers in the morning, and pizza and soft drinks for lunch.
In case of inclement weather, a make-up work day will be posted on the Village Mill website and an email sent to all newsletter recipients. Please contact Joel Lorden with any questions. jel@eastmanfinancial.com
Remember, this is our neighborhood and we need your help! |
