Pool Party and Pig Pickin' — June 19th
Village Green is having a pool party and pig-pickin' on this coming Saturday, June 19th. Everyone is invited and can come to the pool anytime. The pig is estimated to be ready around 3:00 PM.
The pig is being donated and will be prepared by our famous NC Barbecue chef Kenny Wiggins. If you do not eat pork, feel free to bring something you want to cook on the grill. Everyone is encouraged to bring side dishes for the party. All paperware, plastic ware, and drinks will be provided by the Association.

Neighborhood Improvement Program
Saturday, May 2, 2009, marked another successful volunteer day for Village Green.
This time, we installed numbered address plaques for each unit. As in previous
projects (landscaping, new outdoor lighting), the plaques were funded under
Cary’s
Neighborhood
Improvement Program (NIP), in support of
Village
Green's Community Watch Initiative.
The winning design of the plaques was selected by the homeowners back
in February. The "winner" was subsequently manufactured by Rodney's Custom Cut Design Company in Holly Springs NC.
A week before the installation, coordinator Norm Rose (Kensington) rigged
up "jigs" attached to a template to standardize the installation procedure.
The jig slipped around the base of the lanterns, then the location of the
drill holes were marked from the template. After drilling, the brick "dust"
from the drilling was blown out with turkey basters (!), sealant and screws
were inserted, then the sign was fitted onto the screws. Norm and Mickey
Weeks (Lexington) spent 2 days doing some testing/prep work before the
volunteer day arrived.
The official installation began at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 2. Fifty-five
volunteers showed up, bringing drills, cords, screw drivers and, yes, turkey
basters! Teams fanned out for the installation which we completed
around 11, just in time to enjoy pizza and sodas in the clubhouse.
Seen below are just a few of your neighbors who helped us in the project.
