Fraud Alert- Door to Door Scam

A number of trusted neighbors have contacted me about a CONFIRMED fraudulent scam.  A young caucasian woman in her 20's claiming to be the daughter of one of our neighbors, or someone who lives in the house on the other side of the neighborhood has been collecting cash and checks purported to be for a fundraising effort.  She's extremely convincing.  Please do not fall for this scam.  If you have already given her a check, I suggest you stop payment immediately.  The Washington County Sheriff has been contacted.

The young woman claims to be a student of College of Art & Design raising money for culinary school, a Food Network program, and a trip to Rome, and she's "selling" books for Gillete Children's Hospital, etc. etc. etc...

If you have already been victimized, you may to contact the Washington County Sheriff's non-emergency number at (651) 439-9381.  If she comes to your door, try to obtain as many identifying characteristics of the person (car license plate number, physical characteristics, etc.) as possible and call 911 for response by the Sheriff.

Centex to Build New Homes in Hugo, MN's Victor Gardens Single Family Village Neighborhood

Victor Gardens Master Board was informed last week of Neighborhood Development Partners LLC sale of lots to Centex, expected to be merging soon with Pulte and becoming America's largest builder.

From my understanding of what I've read, Neighborhood Development Partners has hired an architectural firm, Whitten & Associates, to assist Centex in modifying its plans to conform to their view of an appropriate new home in Victor Gardens Single Family Village. Whitten & Associates has written a letter regarding this to the Victor Gardens Master Board which I believe should be shared with residents (please follow this link).

Maintenance Update: Pool Heater

As many swimmers have realized, the pool's been cooler than normal lately.  The pool's heater is worn out.  Members of the Master Board met today with our pool contractor and approved the replacement of the heating unit.  The new heater will be more energy efficient and has a longer life expectancy than the old model.

The new unit should be installed soon.  I'll update this site when the repairs and the new unit installation is completed.

SFV Board Meeting Tonight

The Single Family Village Board will meet July 8, at 8:00pm at the VG Neighborhood Activity Center.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
