The first Annual VCC Community Serve Day was a wrap with a ribbon on top!
An idea that took root in the spring with a team of 8 volunteers resulted in well over 100 volunteers turning out at 8 a.m. on November 2, with gloves, rakes, tools, and golf carts to contribute to jobs small and large throughout our community.
Our common grounds areas experienced a massive influx of people weeding, trimming, and pulling stubborn invasive vines from our shrubbery. They worked nonstop for almost 3 hours and made tremendous progress with our landscaping. Many faded and moldy signs were cleaned and others were replaced throughout our community. This was an important task that increased visibility of signs to make our streets, pools, and parking areas safer. All around the Country Creek Drive loop and in the Fern Garden, freshly painted benches are now much more inviting to our owners and guests. We even had a litter crew cleaning up every little piece of trash they could find.
All of that outdoor work created hungry volunteers, so dozens of community members made lunch for their neighbors. The food provided was not only plentiful, but delicious. Meats and salads and special desserts overflowed the tables in the dining room. We have incredible cooks here, that’s for sure. And just in case outdoor volunteers didn’t realize they were appreciated, the lunch volunteers decorated every
table with thank you treats.
If you missed the first annual Community Serve Day, mark your calendars for October 2025 when friends and neighbors will again be cleaning and painting and cooking, all in the selfless interest of making VCC better.
