GARDEN & HOME CLUB TIME CHANGE
Our first Thanksgiving Luncheon on Friday at 12 noon. The event is being catered by The Master’s Table, with a wonderful menu planned . This is a sold out event and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday at 12 noon. 
Sink Holes
 
There were two sinkholes discovered, one on the parkway going back toward the rear entrance on the right-hand side, and one in the common area and one back behind homes on Chimney Rock Ct. Both instances are around the stormwater drains. We did move to address this as soon as possible and exploratory work was done this week. We are currently waiting on the schedule to have the remainder of the work done and it should be within the next week. We will update this post once the exact days for work to be completed is confirmed.

CALLING ALL ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
 
The VDC Curtain Call Players have set the dates….June 26th and 27th….for our 2026 Show featuring an evening of hilarious skits.  We are now calling all “Village Thespians” to come forth and join the fun!  Whether you have participated in plays or skits in the past, or have only thought about being on stage, now is the time to come to the CASTING CALL and checkout all that is planned for next June.  This year we have planned a 2-step process for the Casting Call.
 
Step #1 – Monday, Nov 10th ……..All who are interested are asked to stop by the Art Room in the Clubhouse anytime between 4:00 – 7:00pm to review the scripts of the skits which will be performed in next year’s production.  
 
Step #2 – Thursday, Nov 13th , 6:00 – 8:00 pm in the Art Room.  We ask that those who are interested in being a part of next year’s cast be present to “read through” selected sections from the various skits.  You will be asked to collectively read selected character lines from various skits.  In addition, we will use this opportunity to explain the entire process of getting from the point of casting to the actual production next June.  
We encourage you to try it.  No prior acting experience is required…just the desire to have fun on stage.  If there are questions, please contact Ann Williams at 770-883-8798 or Annwilliams1947@gmail.com
 
SEE YOU AT THE CASTING CALL!!!!
SINGLES CLUB ADOPTING A FAMILY
 
Let's bring joy to a local family!
 
Please join us in highlighting the true meaning of the Holiday Season by helping a local family through some tough times. 
 
As part of our Holiday tradition, the Singles Club has adopted a local Hall County family partnering with the Hall County Christmas Collaborative.  Your generous donations will enable us to buy toys, books, gift cards, clothing, shoes and other items for the four kids, ages 4 through 14.  
 
Please place your contribution (cash, or check made payable to cash) in an envelope, write "For the Children" on it and drop it in the Singles Club mailbox by December 4th.  Several of our members have volunteered to be Santa's helper to do the shopping and wrapping.  If you wish to volunteer in this endeavor, please contact someone on our Board:  Pam Pitts, Betty Duffy, Edie Makarewicz, Ila Santimauro and Carol Mahoney.  
 
While going through the process to adopt a family, we learned there are over 500 families in Hall County that could use your help.  If you wish to adopt a family yourself, please contact Taylor Kizziah, Hall County Christmas Collaborative email:  taylorkizziah@gmail.com  
 
With your generous donations we may be able to adopt a second family!
 
Happy Holidays!
LANDSCAPE UPDATES
 
 
November 10th through November 21st
 
The crew are currently removing leaves from the property. They have finished in phase 1 & 2 and are currently work in phase 1. They will be doing leaf removal again the week of November 17 to complete the second leaf removal service for this month.  
 
Round up was not applied to the berms this week as planned due to the high winds. This is now planned for the first week in December. 
 
Front yard pruning has been completed throughout the neighborhood until Spring. 
 

REMINDER: Any concerns regarding landscaping at your property or on the common areas must be submitted in writing as outlined on the Property & Grounds page of our website. This allows for proper tracking and gives insight into what areas need improvement in services offered. Using this system also helps us to address concerns more efficiently as work can easily be assigned as needed. We ask that you try to avoid expressing opinions and adding conjecture when submitting the concerns and try to stick to the facts, also pictures are always appreciated. P&G volunteers, BrightView and Management do work hard to provide you with quality services and always take your feedback into consideration when planning for the future. 
 
Annual Open Board Meeting
Thanks to all that attended the Annual Open Board meeting on Friday, it was a great meeting and a lot of good information was provided. We are also thankful for all that stopped the Committee Fair. We had 8 lucky door prize winners. All in all the day was a success and we appreciate all that participated!
 
 
Remember to mark your calendars for the 2026 Annual Meeting on March 19, 2026 at 1:00 pm! 
Holiday Lights and Decorations
 
The holiday season is right around the corner, and we know everyone is excited to start decorating and putting up their holiday lights!
 
As a rule of thumb, holiday decorations should go up no more than 30 days prior to the holiday. To stay within our community guidelines, the clubhouse will officially turn on the holiday lights starting Monday, November 24.
 
We kindly ask that all residents plan to do the same. Let’s make the neighborhood shine together this season!
