We are looking for 10 volunteers to make a heavy appetizer that would feed 25-30 for the Adult Evening Party.  If you would like to help with this, please email Julie Cole, dbjcole02@aol.com.
 
The cost per person for this event is $6 each.
Please RSVP to Tara Sinnisgali, taratoo@comcast.net.
 
Dessert and Adult Beverages will be provided.
 
If you are an appetizer volunteer, you do not have to pay.
 
Come out and join your neighbors poolside in celebrating the start of a GREAT SUMMER with music, silent auction bidding and fun!!!!

A Message From Bob Keesee...

4th of July Veterans Bows

The time is approaching for you to honor anyone in your family who has served or is now serving in the military.  Bows will be displayed on mailboxes from June 27 to July 5.  This has been a Village Mill tradition for many years.

Take a moment and reflect on who you would like to honor if you yourself have not served.  A grandfather who served in World War II?  An uncle who was drafted after graduation from high school?  A great aunt who served as a nurse in Korea?  Want to honor more than one person?--two bows will fit on most mailboxes.  Mary and I display two as her dad was in the army in WWII and I was in the Air Force when we married.

Bows are $5 and color coded by branch of service.  Green for army, red for marine corps, dark blue for navy or coast guard and light blue for air force.  They all contain yellow ribbon, the international color for peace.

If you wish to order or ask a question, contact me at 770 393-8363.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Bob Keesee

A Message From Linda Cooper...

After 15 precious years in this amazing neighborhood, we are having to say goodbye.  Our family is returning to Birmingham to our "birth" families and reluctantly leaving behind our dear Village Mill family.  You are planted deep in our hearts and will always be a part of who we are.  We will take with us special memories and forever friendships that we have gained here.  We have been richly blessed.
 
We hope that the adorable family that is moving in will enjoy special friendships and unforgettable moments in our neighborhood.  We know that you will welcome Alan, Kimi and their children with your whole heart and brownies!!!
 
Thanks for the memories...
 
With lots of love and best wishes.  May God bless you always!
