Thanks Carol and the Events Committee!

Thanks to everyone who made Sunday's Easter Egg Hunt a big success!  Carol donated nearly 2000 eggs and the Events Committee filled and "hid" them in Arbre Park.  The kids really enjoyed collecting the eggs and the special prizes.

The turnout was fantastic, especially for an event that had to be rescheduled due to weather.  Thanks again to everyone who continues to make this neighborhood a such great place!

Victor Gardens Garage Sales

I've received a few inquiries lately regarding the garage sale weekend that we've had these past few years in Victor Gardens. In the past, the Events group has funded the costs for this (advertising/signage). Unfortunately, we will NOT be hosting the annual garage sales this year. The number of households participating has gone down over the years and it just didn't seem to be a smart choice to use events money to fund this event any more (we will revisit this again next year if it sounds like more residents are interested).
Of course residents are always welcome to host their own sales or partner with neighbors to host a multi-household sale. Since we have not allocated any funds to pay for the signage or advertising for these sales, residents would need to do so at their own expense.
The events group does have some GREAT things planned for everyone... Stay tuned for a calendar of events for the year. Movie Nights, National Night Out, Adults only events, and more!
Stay tuned...
Any questions... please email me directly at eventsbyjulie@gmail.com

Volunteers Needed for Easter Event!

The Victor Gardens events committee will be hosting a neighborhood-wide Easter Egg Hunt this year on Saturday, April 16th starting at 3PM in Arbre Park. An invitation will be posted/emailed out shortly!

The Easter Bunny is looking for assistants to join us at the VG Activity Center on Tuesday, April 12th starting at 6:30P to help fill the eggs that were so generously donated to the neighborhood by Carol, one of our residents.

Please consider taking even 30 minutes of your evening to help us out on the 12th. This should be a great event for everyone and we're very low on volunteers to help get the eggs ready for the big hunt!

Please email Julie Bixby (eventsbyjulie@gmail.com) if you can help us out on the 12th getting the plastic eggs filled.

Thanks in advance!

Volunteers Needed for Social Committee!

We are looking for volunteers to serve on the Victor Gardens Social Committee this year. Help plan a Movie Night, our first annual Easter egg hunt, National Night Out or a fun adults only event. We'd love to see some new faces (and old ones too!) this year.
Please plan to meet at Dunn Brothers (next to Festival Foods) on Thursday, March 10th at 7P. We will be talking about the Easter Egg Hunt first and then can discuss the remainder of the year.
Please consider volunteering this year. It's a minimal time commitment with a big payoff. These community wide events are a great way to keep our neighborhood a great place to live!
Any questions, please contact Julie Bixby at eventsbyjulie@gmail.com. If you can't make the meeting but would still like to be on the committee, just let me know.
Thanks!
Julie Bixby
