COMMUNITY SERVE DAY – SECOND ANNUAL EVENT
The VCC community gathered for the second annual Community Serve Day on Saturday, November 8 to make the community sparkle.
The day began with volunteers convening in the Fern Garden. Additional volunteers who didn’t previously register for a job were able to sign up that morning. Doughnuts and coffee were supplied by your Master Board. Once jobs were assigned and supplies collected, the team of volunteers headed into the community to begin work.
Friends and neighbors completed a variety of tasks including power-washing, collecting trash, painting utility boxes, refreshing bulletin boards, and clearing debris and weeds around the community. The bulk of the work occurred on and around Country Creek Drive. And one only must enter the main gate off Corkscrew to witness the improvements. Mounds of overgrowth and debris were removed from the front entrance and the staging area. The Deadheaders and Volunteers led these efforts. Additionally, bags of trash were collected, and utility boxes and bulletin boards received a fresh coat of paint.
Following the clean-up efforts, volunteers gathered at the clubhouse to enjoy a potluck lunch prepared by the VCC community. Participants enjoyed a number of delicious salads, entrees, sides, and desserts. While enjoying lunch, volunteers were able to view a slide show of photos depicting the clean-up efforts by residents that morning. Comments captured during the luncheon were overwhelmingly positive:
*Very well organized; such a great community; everything was perfect; I appreciate the excellent luncheon; Great Day for our community; appreciate the organization of the committee – good job!
Regarding the work that was completed, suggestions were offered for next year including additional/different supplies, recycling of current supplies, and a huge thank you to the volunteers for the barrels of water that were strategically placed by the bridges to allow for efficient power washing of bridges, rails and light posts. Following the cleaning of the items on the bridges, Wet It and Forget It was applied to these areas.
Special thanks to the many volunteers and staff who worked behind the scenes over the past few months to make Community Serve Day 2025 a resounding success.
